Senior Java Engineer - Mission Control Team

 

Our Mission Control team
We are a team of passionate individuals deeply committed to doing our best, continuously learning, and supporting each other to grow and improve. Together, we take pride in the meaningful impact we create for our users. Specifically, the Mission Control team is responsible for delivering and enhancing internal administrative functionality across our suite of products.

Our mission is to empower our internal users—including teams from Customer Support, Customer Experience, Engineering, Onboarding, and more—by providing them with an exceptional user experience within Mission Control.

In this role, you’ll work closely with the Mission Control team and collaborate with other members of the Governance group, fostering a culture of partnership and innovation.

You’re a great fit if you are a product-oriented individual that likes working in a friendly environment where people care about each other and what they do. Beyond that, we recognize that you may need further development in some areas, and we encourage you to apply even if your profile does not meet all the requirements for the role: we encourage and support growth and development for everyone. That said, prior experience in any of the following areas will be beneficial:

• Strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Framework
• Deep understanding of PostgreSQL and relational database principles
• Hands-on experience with DevOps tools like GitHub Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes
• Experience with Kafka or similar event-driven messaging technologies
• Cloud experience is a huge plus, especially with AWS or other major platforms (GCP, Azure)
• Knowledge of authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as OAuth and role-based access control (RBAC)
• Bonus points for expertise in system design, large-scale distributed systems, or performance optimization

What you’ll do

• Design and Implement Features: Build and maintain APIs and features that power the internal administration experience through Mission Control. You’ll be directly involved in shaping solutions that are robust, scalable, and user-friendly.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely within the team, as well as other teams in the Governance group and beyond, to deliver impactful solutions. Your input will help inform decisions and ensure alignment across teams.
• Own Your Code: Produce clean, efficient, and well-documented code while adhering to high standards. You’ll have the freedom to question existing practices, propose better solutions, and influence technical direction.
• Solve Problems Together: Participate in code reviews and discussions, where your voice and opinions matter. Help shape the team’s approach to problem-solving, performance, and maintainability.
• Be Product-Minded: Actively contribute to the evolution of Mission Control by identifying improvements, engaging in story mapping sessions, refinements, discoveries, and collaborating with designers and product managers. You’ll help balance technical constraints with business needs and spot opportunities for positive change.
• Troubleshoot and Resolve Issues: Investigate, diagnose, and resolve issues reported by customer support, ensuring timely and effective resolutions.
• Shape the Future of the Team: Provide guidance and mentorship to less-experienced team members, sharing your knowledge and helping others grow. You’ll also contribute to the team’s growth by being part of technical decisions and discussions—there’s no top-down decision-making here.

What we offer: 

• Friendly and welcoming environment focused on people, learning & development
• 25 vacation days and extra vacation days after age and after children
• Cafeteria benefit via SZEP card
• Medicover private health insurance for employees and their family members
• 37.5 hour work week - or less!
• 10% of your time to work on anything you like, reading groups, tech talks
• Flexible working and working from home
• An extensive people development program, including access to Udemy
