We are a U.S.-based software company dedicated to the mortgage industry. We build reliable, scalable systems that support mission-critical servicing workflows. Our engineering culture values technical excellence, long-term ownership, and clear execution. We operate in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where experienced engineers are trusted to make architectural decisions and drive the product forward.  

Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Backend Java Developer to join our core engineering team. This is a role for a professional who thrives on building large-scale, robust server-side systems and is looking for a stable, long-term home. You will have significant responsibility for architecting complex Java backends, optimizing data pipelines, and ensuring the scalability of our cloud infrastructure.  

Please Note: We are looking for a teammate who is fully committed and ready to dedicate their professional focus to our mission. To streamline our compliance and operational workflows, this specific role is strictly targeted toward talent residing in the Philippines.  

Key Responsibilities
Backend Development: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable services using Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem.

Architecture & APIs: Architect and scale robust APIs and microservices using both GraphQL and REST.

Data Modeling: Design and optimize DynamoDB schemas, queries, and indexing strategies to support heavy transactional workloads.

System Integrity: Improve backend system reliability, observability, logging, and fault tolerance within an event-driven architecture.

Cloud Infrastructure: Leverage AWS cloud services to deploy, monitor, and maintain backend applications securely.

Leadership: Lead technical code reviews, enforce backend engineering best practices, and mentor junior developers.

Required Qualifications
Experience: 5+ years of professional backend software development experience.

Core Backend: Deep expertise in Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem.

API & Data: Proven experience with GraphQL, RESTful APIs, and DynamoDB (or similar NoSQL databases).

Cloud: Hands-on experience with AWS services (including Lambda, SQS, API Gateway, and DynamoDB).

Reliability: Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing (unit, integration), and DevOps practices.

Commitment: Proven track record of dedication to a team and the ability to manage a full-time workload effectively.  

Interview Integrity: Zero-tolerance policy for AI-assisted responses or external help during our technical evaluation process.  

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with distributed messaging systems like Kafka or RabbitMQ.  

Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).

Strong understanding of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and CQRS patterns.  

Why Join Us?
Stability & Growth: Competitive salary aligned with your experience level ($12–$17/hour).  

Flexibility: 100% remote work environment.  

Impact: High level of ownership and technical influence over a mission-critical platform.  

Culture: A collaborative team with high engineering standards and no "red tape."  

How to Apply
 
If you are a dedicated backend developer looking for a long-term role where your contributions truly matter, please apply with your updated resume and a brief summary of your experience with robust Java architectures.  

Important Verification Step: As part of our secure onboarding process and to confirm geographic compliance with local employment guidelines, all applicants must provide a clear copy of a valid government-issued photo ID prior to scheduling the initial interview.
