  • Design, build, and maintain scalable, performant, and reliable software systems.
  • Contribute to system architecture and technical design, validating solutions through data and experimentation where appropriate.
  • Participate in code reviews and design reviews to maintain high engineering standards.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, including software engineers, product managers, data scientists, and designers.
  • Partner with a Product Manager and fellow engineers to clarify requirements and perform mid-level design work, focusing primarily on coding, testing, and documentation.

Must haves

  • 3+ years of professional, backend-focused software development experience.
  • Proficiency in Java and/or Kotlin.
  • Proficiency in a modern NoSQL database, MongoDB on Atlas.
  • Proficiency in a modern relational database, Aurora MySQL on AWS.
  • Experience building cloud-native distributed systems on AWS.
  • Experience with the Spring Boot framework.
  • API development with GraphQL (Netflix DGS).
  • Experience building and operating large-scale, high-performance, and resilient systems on a major cloud platform.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Event-driven system development, ideally with Apache Kafka and/or SQS.
  • AI-assisted coding experience.
  • Terraform.
  • Experience building microservices.
  • API development with gRPC and REST.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
