- Maintain and evolve core backend services and microservices
- Write and optimize database stored procedures for performance and correctness
- Architect and deliver asynchronous processing pipelines
- Contribute to security features including SSO integration, file handling, and role-based access controls
- Debug and resolve production incidents with urgency and thoroughness
- Participate in code review and set the bar for engineering quality across the team
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and drive adoption of consistent patterns
Experience You'll Bring
- 5+ years of professional Java development experience in a production SaaS environment
- Strong command of relational databases (MySQL preferred) - schema design, query optimization, and stored procedure development
- Solid experience with REST API design and implementation at scale
- Experience with asynchronous, message-driven systems
- Proficiency with AWS services (S3, SES, EC2, or equivalents)
- Experience debugging complex distributed, multi-tenant systems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and thrive in a fast-paced environment
Nice to Haves
- Experience with AI Tools (e.g., Claude Code) a strong plus
- Experience with Elasticsearch or similar distributed search systems
- Experience with ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ, Kafka, or similar message brokers
- Familiarity with enterprise SSO integration (SAML 2.0 or similar)
- Experience with Spring Boot or similar Java microservice frameworks
- Exposure to audio/video transcoding pipelines
- Familiarity with Redis or Memcached for distributed caching
