About You 

As a Java Engineer you will be working on new and existing projects across our business areas. We have a long roadmap ahead of us, with exciting new features and you’ll be solving interesting problems while collaborating with the rest of the Tide team to achieve our mission to save small and medium businesses time and money.

This is a remote position but at this point we're only considering applications from Romania. Occasional traveling to our office in Sofia is expected post-pandemic.

With our expanding business, we will encourage you to outgrow your initial responsibilities. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a real difference by taking ownership of engineering practices in a rapidly expanding company!

Technology and our people are what make Tide possible. We work in autonomous teams, self-organise, discuss technical challenges, and set our own guidelines in the different Community of Practices.

On the backend we see Java 8 as legacy and use Java 11+ for our micro-services. We provide RESTful APIs to our colleagues in the frontend. Spring Boot is our work horse, but we are open to new experiments. We are cloud-native and run everything on AWS. You’ll see containers (Docker), queues (SNS+SQS, Kafka) and events everywhere. The nature of our business naturally fits with relational databases, but we have also found some use cases for NoSQL. Our frontends have done an incredible job at consuming our APIs and providing the best UX to our members. They are native Android and iOS apps or Angular 2+ web apps. The Cloud Engineering team provides us with vital infrastructure and DevOps support on the cloud.

Some of the things you’ll be doing:

  • Working on internal projects for some of our business areas. Your fellow team members will get you up to speed and will help you develop the skills so that eventually you are the one coaching other new joiners.
  • Becoming part of one of our expanding agile teams and actively collaborating with your colleagues from the other Backend and iOS, Android, Web, QA, DevOps, Agile, Data, and Product teams at Tide to translate requirements into well-engineered solutions.
  • Joining our backend Community of Practices, learn from them, and propose your own at some point to maintain high quality across the backend. Career progression is as important to you as it is for us.

You’ll be a great fit if you:

  • Have good commercial experience (2+ years) building server-side applications and good knowledge of the relevant programming languages for your stack (i.e Java 8 or newer).
  • Are familiar with some Java backend framework (e.g. Spring/Spring Boot).
  • Have exposure to microservices or implementing and consuming RESTful APIs.
  • Demonstrate a mindset of delivering secure, well-tested, and well-documented software.
  • Willing to own your code from development to production.
  • Have experience with relational databases.
  • Have some exposure to continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.
  • Are comfortable working in agile methodologies, ideally Scrum.
  • Have utilized common development tools such as IntelliJ, Git, Jira, etc.
