• Design and implement backend services and REST APIs with strong attention to clarity, maintainability, and backward compatibility.
• Work across Java/Spring services and modern React/Node.js applications as part of an evolving platform.
• Contribute to architectural improvements and help move existing patterns toward more event-driven designs over time.
• Write automated tests and help maintain a reliable, secure, production-ready engineering environment.
• Author and maintain CI/CD workflows in GitHub Actions and participate in the full lifecycle from design through deployment.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering peers to turn real-world customer needs into thoughtful software solutions.
• Take ownership of the features you build, with a strong focus on follow-through, product quality, and steady delivery.

What we’re looking for

• Professional experience as a full stack engineer, with strong backend depth and comfort working across the stack.
• Strong experience with Java, Spring Boot, and Hibernate in production systems.
• Production experience with React and Node.js.
• Experience designing and implementing REST APIs in real-world applications.
• Experience working with cloud-based SaaS applications and multi-tenant product considerations.
• Familiarity with message-based or event-driven systems.
• Experience shipping meaningful software in e-commerce, ERP, or CRM environments; e-commerce experience is especially relevant for this role.
• Commitment to automated testing, code quality, and secure development practices, including awareness of common web security risks.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, including hands‑on work with GitHub Actions or similar tooling.

Nice to have

• Experience with approval workflows, complex pricing, or enterprise order flows.
• Exposure to POS integrations or payment gateways.
• Experience with Azure Cosmos DB or other document databases.
• Familiarity with observability practices andOTEL-style instrumentation.
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools, or interest in learning within an established cloud environment.
• Experience in hospitality, restaurant, or catering software.
