Job Description

We are looking to hire experienced Java Backend Developers with strong experience. This is for an ongoing full time work for someone with at least 5 years of professional work experience and with great experience working with backend search engines and springboot. This is a complete work from home / remote job.

What You’ll Own

Backend Engineering

• Design, build, and maintain backend services using Java 20+ and Spring Boot

• Develop clean, secure, versioned REST APIs for web, mobile, admin, partner, and AI systems

• Review and improve Spring Boot application structure, dependency versions, embedded Tomcat configuration, startup behaviour, memory usage, and runtime performance

• Improve service structure, startup behaviour, configuration, and deployment readiness

• Refactor weak or unstable backend areas without breaking existing functionality

• Review and improve backend code quality, error handling, validation, and performance

Platform Stability

• Investigate production issues across services, APIs, databases, queues, and cloud infrastructure

• Investigate Spring/Tomcat-level issues such as slow startup, failed bean initialisation, blocked request threads, timeout misconfiguration, memory pressure, and unhealthy application states

• Improve application startup, service health checks, logging, retries, timeout handling, and failure recovery

• Identify unstable services, duplicated logic, poor configurations, and risky dependencies

• Create clear root-cause analysis for recurring backend failures

• Help define backend release standards and deployment readiness checks

Data, Search & Matching

• Work with MongoDB, PostgreSQL/MySQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch

• Optimise queries, indexes, schema design, and data access patterns

• Support course matching, profile enrichment, search, recommendation, and application workflows

• Improve backend data consistency between APIs, databases, search indexes, and AI outputs

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Work confidently with AWS-backed backend environments, including services such as EKS/ECS, EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, and SQS/SNS, in collaboration with DevOps/Cloud engineers

• Support containerised deployments using Docker and Kubernetes

• Review backend infrastructure for cost, security, reliability, and scalability

• Help reduce unnecessary cloud costs caused by inefficient services, oversized resources, or poor runtime behaviour

• Partner with DevOps/Cloud engineers to improve deployment pipelines and runtime environments

Messaging & Integrations

• Work with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or AWS SQS/SNS

• Audit existing message/event flows and identify what is used, unused, broken, or risky

• Build reliable asynchronous workflows for notifications, AI processing, applications, search updates, and partner integrations

• Integrate third-party services such as payment gateways, email/SMS providers, CRMs, AI/ML APIs, and institution partner systems

Security & Access

• Build secure backend services using Spring Security, OAuth2, JWT, SSO, and role-based access control

• Work with identity systems such as Keycloak or similar

• Improve API security, permission checks, secrets management, and environment variable hygiene

• Identify risky public endpoints, exposed credentials, weak service-to-service access, and insecure configurations

• Apply secure coding practices across backend services

Observability & Monitoring

• Improve backend logging, metrics, alerts, tracing, and health dashboards

• Work with tools such as CloudWatch, ELK, Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic, Datadog, Rollbar, or similar

• Make it easier to detect user-impacting failures such as login issues, API failures, slow responses, and broken workflows

• Help define what “healthy backend” means for Yuzee

Leadership & Mentoring

• Review pull requests and raise engineering quality across the team

• Mentor junior and mid-level developers while maintaining delivery momentum

• Break large technical problems into clear, shippable milestones

• Write technical documentation that explains systems, decisions, risks, and fixes

• Push back on poor technical decisions with evidence and better alternatives

Must-Have Skills

• REST API design

• Microservices

• Docker

• CI/CD

• Git workflows and code reviews

• Strong understanding of the Spring ecosystem, including Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, Spring Data, Spring configuration, profiles, dependency management, and application lifecycle

• Practical understanding of embedded servlet containers such as Tomcat, including request handling, thread pools, connection limits, timeouts, and production tuning

• Experience using Spring Boot Actuator or similar tools for health checks, metrics, readiness/liveness checks, and production diagnostics

• Strong database experience with at least one relational database:

• PostgreSQL

• MySQL

• RDS

• Production experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS

• Strong understanding of:

• Authentication and authorisation

• OAuth2

• JWT

• SSO

• Role-based access control

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
