Java backend developer (sample job)

We are looking for an experienced Back-end developer to join our IT team. You will be responsible for the server side of our web applications.

If you have excellent programming skills and a passion for developing applications or improving existing ones, we would like to meet you. As a Back-end developer, you’ll work closely with our engineers to ensure system consistency and improve user experience.

Ultimately, you should be able to develop and maintain functional and stable web applications to meet our company’s needs.

The work:

In order to make the server, application, and database communicate with each other, back-end devs use Java to build an application, and tools like MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server to find, save, or change data and serve it back to the user in front-end code.

Experience with version control software like SVN, CVS, or Git; and experience with Linux as a development and deployment system.

Back-end devs use these tools to create or contribute to web applications with clean, portable, well-documented code. But before writing that code, they need to collaborate with business stakeholders to understand their particular needs, then translate those into technical requirements and come up with the most effective and efficient solution for architecting the technology.

The environment:

• 100% remote team
• Cloud-based hosted infrastructure
• Slack, Hangouts and other online collaboration tools
• The company provides all required tools.

Perks:

• 100% remote work
• Competitive pay
• Comprehensive health, wellness and career benefits package
• Trust, autonomy, empowerment

Skills & requirements:

• Proven work experience as a Back-end developer
• In-depth understanding of the entire web development process (design, development and deployment)
• Hands on experience with programming languages like Java, Ruby, PHP and Python
• Working knowledge of CMS framework
• Familiarity with front-end languages (e.g. HTML, JavaScript and CSS)
• Excellent analytical and time management skills
• Teamwork skills with a problem-solving attitude
• BSc degree in Computer Science or relevant field

Working remote :

• This is a 100% remote position, communication and self-direction are incredibly important
• You'll need a dedicated workspace (with a door)
• You must have a reliable high-speed internet connection (collaboration requires bandwidth)
