Job Description
⟢ ABOUT COMPANY:
We partner with an internationally operating tech company active across FinTech, iGaming, and Digital Marketing verticals — with 20+ delivered products across five global markets.
Now expanding into Georgia, the client company brings a culture forged across 16 nationalities to a new hub in Tbilisi — a city that blends European vibrancy with a distinctly local energy. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape something new.
We're looking for a backend engineer who takes pride in building systems that are fast, clean, and built to last. You'll architect APIs, optimize data flows, and solve the kind of infrastructure challenges that directly shape how users experience the product — working alongside frontend engineers, product managers, and DevOps in a team that moves fast and ships with quality.
⟢ WHAT YOU'LL OWN:
- Design, develop, and maintain robust APIs and backend services using Java (and other technologies as needed)
- Architect scalable, maintainable backend systems that hold up under real production load
- Optimize database queries and data architecture for performance at scale
- Collaborate fluidly within a cross-functional team, contributing to planning and technical decision-making
- Uphold code quality standards: clean code practices, OOP principles, and thorough code review
- Deliver on time without cutting corners — balancing speed and quality effectively
- Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field
- 6+ years of hands-on backend development experience
- Strong Java skills — particularly with Spring Boot and Java frameworks
- Deep familiarity with algorithms, data structures, and system design patterns
- Solid command of OOP principles, MVC patterns, JDBC, and RESTful API design
- Experience with: MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch; AWS (EC2, S3), OAuth 2, JWT; RabbitMQ and/or Kafka
- Ability to work independently and make sound technical decisions without close supervision
- Strong communicator and collaborative team player
