Brief Role Description
We are looking for a Contract Software Engineer II – Backend who is a solid Java developer, ready to execute independently, keep pace with team delivery, and grow fast. You take ownership of your work, speak up when you're blocked, and see every challenge as an opportunity to get better. You don't wait to be told what to do — you figure it out, ask the right questions, and get things done.
What You'll Do
Independently deliver backend features and bug fixes in Java, meeting sprint commitments and contributing to team velocity
Write clean, well-structured code — and take pride in it
Proactively reach out to teammates, leads, or other teams when you hit a blocker instead of going silent
Contribute to growing the team's test coverage through unit and integration tests — not just for your own code, but also new initiatives that might need additional testing coverage
Participate actively in Agile rituals: standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives
Review code, give useful feedback, and receive it with an open mind
Collaborate with senior engineers and ask good questions to level up quickly
Possible Tasks within this Role
What We're Looking For:
Core skills
Solid proficiency in Java — you can write production-quality backend code without needing handholding
Familiarity with Spring Boot or similar backend frameworks
Experience working with REST APIs and relational or NoSQL databases (Postgres, MongoDB)
Comfortable writing unit tests; integration test experience is a plus
How you work
You execute independently — you break down a task, figure out the approach, and deliver it
