Our global manufacturing client is seeking a Software Engineer to join a high-performing development team building and supporting enterprise backend systems. This role is ideal for a backend-focused engineer who enjoys owning services end-to-end and collaborating closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams to deliver reliable, production-ready solutions.

You’ll contribute to modernizing backend services, enhancing CI/CD processes, and supporting scalable cloud-based applications that power critical business operations. This is not a pure DevOps role — but strong familiarity with modern deployment pipelines and infrastructure tooling is essential.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and enhance backend services using Java and/or Kotlin
• Build scalable, maintainable APIs and service integrations
• Write and optimize SQL queries and data integrations (PostgreSQL)
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to improve CI/CD pipelines and release automation
• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code initiatives using Terraform (or similar tools)
• Support build automation and deployment workflows
• Write and maintain shell scripts to streamline engineering processes
• Participate in code reviews and uphold engineering best practices
• Help support and troubleshoot production systems as needed

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 2–3 years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong backend development experience in Java and/or Kotlin (experience in both is highly preferred)
• Experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and build processes
• Working knowledge of Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tools
• Basic shell scripting experience

Nice to Have

• Experience working in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience supporting production applications in enterprise environments
• Understanding of DevOps best practices and modern engineering tooling
• Exposure to frontend technologies such as React
• Experience with TypeScript
• Familiarity with Material UI

Work Environment

• Collaborative, team-oriented engineering culture
• Opportunity to work on enterprise-scale systems within a global organization

*Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and location*
