We’re seeking a talented Software Developer to innovate and deliver cutting‑edge solutions in a dynamic startup environment. If you thrive on collaboration and want to make a real impact, this is your opportunity.

About the Role

Our Austin‑based technology firm is looking for a passionate Software Developer to help shape the future of our flagship platform. You will work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to design, develop, and launch features used by millions. This role offers the chance to influence architecture decisions, own end‑to‑end delivery, and see your code shipped to production within weeks, all in a collaborative and innovative setting.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot, ensuring high availability and performance. Collaborate with front‑end engineers to integrate RESTful APIs built with React. Write clean, test‑driven code, conduct code reviews, and optimize database queries across PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Participate in agile sprints, stand‑ups, and retrospectives, and mentor junior developers while championing best practices and continuous improvement.

Requirements

We seek candidates with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field and at least three years of professional software development experience. Proven expertise in building enterprise‑grade applications, strong communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced startup environment are essential. A passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to code quality, and a track record of delivering results on schedule are required.

Technical Skills

Proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and micro‑service architecture is mandatory, along with extensive experience designing RESTful APIs. Mastery of SQL for relational databases and NoSQL technologies such as MongoDB is essential. Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or GitHub Actions is advantageous. Strong command of Git, Agile Scrum methodology, and cloud platforms like AWS or Azure further strengthens your profile, as does analytical thinking and a continuous learning mindset.

Experience

Candidates should have a solid background in high‑growth startup or fast‑moving product teams, demonstrating the ability to wear multiple hats and adapt quickly. Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure, including deploying containerized applications, is highly preferred. A portfolio of shipped products, open‑source contributions, or demonstrable impact on previous systems is a strong asset. Excellent problem‑solving abilities, attention to detail, and a passion for technology innovation are non‑negotiable.
