[Hiring] Senior Backend Java Engineer @Codelitt

Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior Java Engineer to join our team on a high-impact engagement with one of our partners, a global wealth-tech and data platform that helps investment professionals manage complex portfolios, deliver better client experiences, and operate at scale.

• This role will embed with a senior portal team that is expanding core advisor and client experiences across web and mobile surfaces.
• Your immediate focus will be backend platform development inside an existing Java monolith, helping deliver new functionality tied to advisor profiles, search and filtering improvements, and integrations that extend CRM-driven workflows.
• You’ll be joining a strong team that values quality, platform thinking, and shipping the right long-term solution rather than one-off customizations.

Qualifications

• Backend-first and highly effective in Java production environments.
• Comfortable working inside large, mature codebases, including monolithic architectures.
• Pragmatic and unafraid of messy code when the business problem is worth solving.
• Experienced with API integrations and backend connections to third-party platforms such as CRMs.
• Strong at building reusable platform capabilities, not just feature-by-feature patches.
• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate development, while applying judgment and validating outputs carefully.
• Collaborative, low-ego, and able to integrate quickly with a senior engineering team.

Requirements

• Backend Platform Development
• Build and extend backend capabilities in a Java-based monolith that powers key portal initiatives.
• Design clean, maintainable solutions for new advisor- and client-facing features.
• Improve the underlying platform so new functionality can scale beyond a single use case.
• Integrations & Data Flows
• Implement and evolve backend integrations that connect product experiences with existing business systems.
• Help enhance CRM-related workflows and data capture patterns already in place.
• Ensure reliability, maintainability, and clear ownership across service boundaries.
• Cross-Functional Delivery
• Work closely with engineering leads, product, design, and stakeholders to refine requirements and ship incrementally.
• Support roadmap acceleration on high-priority commitments with real delivery pressure and visible impact.
• Contribute to technical discussions, tradeoff decisions, estimation, and implementation planning.
• Engineering Quality
• Write testable, maintainable code and document your decisions clearly.
• Help the team move quickly without sacrificing engineering standards.
• Bring a product mindset to backend work, thinking about the end-user experience as well as system design.

Benefits

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong depth in Java.
• Proven experience working in monolithic systems or other large, mature production environments.
• Solid background in backend APIs, systems integration, and data modeling.
• Experience integrating with SaaS tools, internal platforms, or CRM systems.
• Familiarity with cloud environments, CI/CD, and modern development practices.
• Exposure to fintech, wealth tech, or other data-intensive B2B SaaS products is a strong plus.

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving skills and sound technical judgment.
• Clear communicator who can work well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfortable with urgency, ambiguity, and evolving priorities.
• Ownership mindset with a bias toward action.
• Team-oriented and easy to work with in a remote environment.
