Backend Software Engineer - Java, Spring Boot, Apache Camel

Backend Software Engineer - Java, Spring Boot , Apache Camel

We're looking for a backend engineer who thrives at the intersection of complex system design and hands-on delivery. You'll be a core contributor to the services that power our platform - writing code that scales, integrates, and holds up in production.

What you'll be working with

Java 8+ | Spring Boot | Apache Camel | REST APIs | Microservices | Kafka / ActiveMQ | SQL & NoSQL | Docker & Kubernetes | AWS / Azure / GCP

Your day-to-day

• Architect and deliver robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot, with a constant eye on performance, scalability, and security.
• Design and maintain enterprise integration workflows with Apache Camel, connecting systems and managing complex messaging pipelines.
• Build RESTful APIs consumed by frontend, mobile, and third-party clients - clean contracts, well-documented, built to last.
• Own your code end-to-end: unit tests, integration tests, code reviews, and participation in automated testing pipelines.
• Work closely with frontend, DevOps, and product squads to ship full-stack features from design to deployment.
• Investigate and resolve production incidents promptly - you care about uptime as much as the team does.
• Contribute to deployment, observability, and reliability in cloud or containerised environments.
• Help shape engineering culture through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.

What we're looking for

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Deep proficiency in Java 8 or higher; comfortable with modern language features and idioms.
• Solid grounding in Spring Boot - REST, dependency injection, security modules.
• Meaningful experience using Apache Camel for enterprise integration patterns.
• Practical knowledge of microservices design and distributed systems thinking.
• Comfortable with both relational and NoSQL databases; knows when to use which.
• Familiarity with message brokers such as Kafka, ActiveMQ, or RabbitMQ.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD workflows and version control with Git.
• Solid understanding of software design principles

Bonus points

• Hands-on with Docker and Kubernetes in real deployment pipelines.
• Cloud platform experience on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Knowledge of Spring Cloud, API gateways, or service mesh patterns.
• Security-aware: OAuth2, JWT, TLS - you know why these matter, not just how to configure them.
• Experience with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK stack.
• Comfortable working in Agile/Scrum environments.
