Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who can take ownership of the codebase and infrastructure. This isn't just a 'build what you're told' role—you'll be the primary technical driver of the platform, making architecture decisions, shipping features end-to-end, and ensuring our systems run reliably in production. You'll work directly with the founder and have real autonomy to shape the product's technical direction.

Our Tech Stack

Backend: Java 8, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security, Gradle
Frontend: Angular 7, TypeScript, Angular Material, RxJS, Webpack
Database: PostgreSQL with JPA/Hibernate, Liquibase migrations
Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront), Docker
Framework: JHipster (project scaffolding and conventions)
Monitoring: Bugsnag (error tracking)

What You'll Do

• Own the full application lifecycle—backend APIs, frontend UI, database schema, CI/CD pipelines, and production infrastructure on AWS
• Design, develop, and ship new features across the Java/Spring Boot backend and Angular frontend
• Manage and optimize our PostgreSQL database, including schema migrations (Liquibase), query performance tuning, and data integrity
• Maintain and improve AWS infrastructure: EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, and related services
• Collaborate directly with the founder to translate business requirements into technical solutions
• Improve code quality through testing, code reviews, refactoring, and documentation
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues quickly and thoroughly
• Evaluate and adopt modern tools, frameworks, and practices to keep the platform competitive
• Leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery and improve code quality

What We're Looking For

Required

• 5–8+ years of professional software development experience
• Strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem (Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA, Spring Security)
• Solid front-end skills with Angular (TypeScript, RxJS, component architecture)
• Deep experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases—schema design, migrations, query optimization
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront)
• Comfortable with Docker and containerized deployments
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
• Strong problem-solving skills and a product-oriented mindset
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously
