Remote Java API Developer

About the Role

Imagine shaping next-gen APIs while sipping coffee in your favorite remote spot. Join a global-first team where innovation isn’t a buzzword—it’s how we live. We're seeking a skilled Java API Developer to build resilient, elegant systems that empower millions. This full-time role pays $117935 annually and allows you to work where you thrive best.

Our Journey So Far

What began as a handful of developers with a bold idea has evolved into a vibrant force in the tech industry. We've crafted digital tools used by real people across multiple sectors, including fintech, digital health, and more. Our philosophy? Code bright, ship clean, learn endlessly. We're not just writing software—we're building a world where backends are frictionless, scalable, and beautiful. Every line of code we commit is intentional, and every deployment enhances the user experience.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and refine RESTful APIs using Java and Spring Boot
• Collaborate with cross-functional squads to identify product challenges and technical solutions
• Translate technical specifications into performant and maintainable backend code
• Participate in daily standups, sprint planning, and peer reviews
• Seamlessly integrate third-party APIs and cloud services for robust data flow
• Manage deployment pipelines using CI/CD and containerized environments like Docker
• Continually improve backend performance through thoughtful code optimization and database tuning
• Maintain comprehensive documentation and version-controlled interfaces for long-term clarity

The Remote Advantage

Your workspace is your own. Whether you're most productive at home, in a coworking hub, or on the road, we support it. Our team spans multiple time zones, bringing a global perspective and facilitating asynchronous collaboration on every project. You’ll enjoy the autonomy to do focused, deep work without unnecessary micromanagement. At the same time, we prioritize meaningful connections through weekly team calls, virtual coffee chats, and occasional online game nights.

Our Tech Stack

We thrive on modern technologies that empower creativity and scale:

• Languages: Java (17+), Kotlin (select modules)
• Frameworks: Spring Boot, Hibernate, Micronaut
• API Tools: OpenAPI, Swagger, REST, JSON
• Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
• DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
• Cloud: AWS (Lambda, S3, RDS), GCP (Cloud Functions, Firebase)
• Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic

Who Thrives Here

We’re looking for someone who blends technical mastery with creativity. You should be experienced in:

• Delivering backend applications with 4+ years of Java development experience
• Designing RESTful services that are efficient, secure, and well-tested
• Navigating both SQL and NoSQL databases, including query optimization
• Managing tokens and user flows via OAuth2, JWT, and other secure authentication models
• Applying architectural patterns like microservices and event-driven designs
• Working with Git-based source control and contributing to CI/CD workflows
• Thinking critically and proposing new ways to solve problems or enhance features

Soft Skills We Celebrate

We believe technical skills must be supported by great human qualities:

• Clarity: You can explain complex logic in plain language across distributed teams
• Accountability: You take responsibility for your work and proactively seek improvements
• Creativity: You’re unafraid to try new solutions or suggest new tools
• Empathy: You consider how your code affects both colleagues and end-users
• Team Spirit: You contribute to a culture of inclusion, support, and continuous learning

Growth Opportunities

We don’t just offer jobs—we build careers. As a developer here, you’ll grow in more ways than technical depth. Want to lead initiatives or mentor others? Interested in switching from backend to DevOps or platform architecture? We’ll support your direction with individualized growth paths, leadership coaching, and regular performance check-ins to ensure your success. From certifications to conference tickets, your development matters to us as much as delivery.

We also host monthly tech talks, collaborative coding labs, and annual virtual summits to inspire thought leadership and foster cross-functional innovation.

Perks That Matter

• Compensation: $117935 annually, with yearly reviews
• Fully remote work setup with flexible hours
• Ample paid vacation, mental health days, and parental leave
• Stipends for home office setup and high-speed internet
• Annual budget for upskilling, conferences, and certifications
• Global team gatherings and regional meetups
• Health and wellness reimbursement programs

What Success Looks Like

After your first three months, you’ll have:

• Delivered two or more API modules into production
• Participated in multiple sprint cycles and retrospectives
• Made tangible improvements in performance or refactoring
• Built meaningful connections with your engineering peers
• Suggest at least one idea that improved our product or process

Within a year, we hope you’ll be:

• Leading architecture on critical backend systems
• Mentoring junior developers and contributing to hiring decisions
• Sharing knowledge via internal documentation or lightning talks
• Building APIs that our clients praise for speed, structure, and reliability
