About the Role

You will design, build, and maintain enterprise web applications, including backend services and integration-facing workflows across multiple modules that support core business functionality and third-party systems.

This role requires strong programming and object-oriented fundamentals, hands-on experience working with backend services and APIs, and comfort navigating data models and integration layers. While exposure to UI development is valuable, the primary focus will be on backend reliability, scalability, and performance, with opportunities to grow across the full application stack.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Design, develop, and maintain REST APIs and backend services that support core workflows and integrations.
• Design, build, and optimize SQL queries, stored procedures, and database structures, including indexing and query tuning, to ensure data integrity, scalability, and performance across application modules.
• Collaborate with frontend engineers to define API contracts and ensure robust service interactions.
• Contribute to database design, query optimization, and data integrity across modules.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across service, integration, and data layers.
• Support application deployments and operational reliability across environments.
• Build and maintain responsive user interfaces using Servoy Titanium (Angular-based designer)
• Apply AI-assisted development tools and emerging AI-driven practices (e.g., code generation, analysis, and automated testing) to improve delivery speed and code quality while ensuring solutions remain secure, maintainable, and well-reviewed.
• Support application deployments, builds, and environment management using ServoyCloud
• Collaborate with senior engineers, QA, and product managers to understand requirements and deliver solutions
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable code aligned with established engineering standards
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback to improve code quality
• Troubleshoot and fix defects across application, UI, data, and deployment layers
• Accurately estimate assigned tasks and deliver work on time
• Maintain documentation for implemented features and fixes
• Support production systems and assist with issue resolution

You will be a good fit if you are:

• 4+ Yrs of relevant experience (guideline).
• Develop and maintain REST APIs and backend services using JavaScript with Node.js or Java (Spring) that support core business workflows and system integrations.
• Contribute to data modeling, performance optimization, and system reliability, with opportunities to expand into UI and full-stack development over time.
• Requires strong programming and OOP fundamentals, experience working with REST APIs, and comfort with SQL and pragmatic NoSQL usage. Willingness to learn and grow across the application stack is expected.

We would welcome (but not required):

• Experience enhancing or supporting existing Servoy applications
• Exposure to Agile development practices
• Experience working in a global or distributed engineering team
• Interest in learning DevOps and cloud-based deployment practices
