Remote, USA Full-time Posted 2026-06-19

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Java/Kotlin Engineer who goes beyond traditional development. This role combines hands-on backend engineering with a strong DevOps and AI-assisted automation mindset, leveraging agentic AI tools (e.g., Claude) to improve code quality, security, and delivery workflows.

You will work at the intersection of software engineering, DevOps, and AI-assisted development, helping us build scalable systems while evolving our engineering practices toward AI-augmented delivery.

This is a 50/50 role:

• 50%: Feature development, backend engineering (Java/Kotlin)

•50%: DevOps automation, AI-driven workflows, and repository optimization

Key Responsibilities

Backend Development

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services using Java/Kotlin
  • Deliver production-ready features with high quality and performance standards
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate requirements into technical solutions

AI-Driven DevOps & Automation

  • Use Claude (or similar agentic AI tools) to:
  • Identify and fix vulnerabilities (static analysis, dependency risks, secure patches)
  • Automate code improvements across repositories
  • Generate and maintain unit and integration tests using AI from code context and diffs
  • Continuously improve CI/CD workflows using AI-assisted processes

AI Readiness & Engineering Enablement

  • Improve “AI readiness” of repositories:
  • Clean architecture and modular structure
  • Clear interfaces and contracts
  • Type safety and documentation for LLM consumption
  • Build guardrails for AI usage:
    • Prompt design and versioning
    • Output validation and consistency checks
    • Safe code generation practices (diff validation, review flows)

Required Qualifications

  • Strong experience in Java and/or Kotlin backend development
  • Solid understanding of software design, APIs, and distributed systems
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Static code analysis tools
    • Dependency management and security remediation
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
  • Experience working with Git-based workflows and multi-repo environments

Nice to Have

  • Direct experience using Claude (or similar LLMs) for DevOps or automation tasks
  • Experience building AI-assisted pipelines or agent-based workflows
  • Knowledge of secure coding practices and vulnerability management
  • Exposure to:
    • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.)
    • Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
    • Observability and monitoring tools  

Some of the benefits you’ll enjoy working with us:

The chance to work in innovative projects with leading brands, that use the latest technologies that fuel transformation. The opportunity to be part of an amazing, multicultural community of tech experts. A competitive compensation package and medical insurance. A flexible working environment
