Our Engineering team is searching for their future Senior Java Developer who is a critical thinker, fast learner, and SQL natural who enjoys being a problem solver.

The Senior Java Developer will be responsible for implementing new features, fixing bugs, and improving and refactoring code. Most of what you will do is web-related, so many tasks will ask you to implement REST endpoints to help achieve business objectives and connect the dots on the web. However, much of the team’s tasks are also not strictly web-related and may challenge you in other ways (e.g. data analytics, network communication, database optimization, etc.). You will have a lot of independence and agency while working, but will communicate with other colleagues daily and often work with them directly to solve coding issues.

This role requires the ability to work on a feature from start to finish, communicate about it, and ask the right questions along the way. Being comfortable with Java and confidently writing code to be deployed to production servers are key functions of this role as well. In addition, the ideal candidate will need to be able to tinker with Javascript code and won’t be afraid to SSH into a server and change configuration files.

This role lies within our Engineering department and reports to the Engineering Manager.
