You work in Java on serverless AWS, designing APIs and shipping features end-to-end with product, frontend and engineering teammates. It's a hands-on role with plenty of ownership and variety: one week you might be shaping a new feature, the next you're tracking down a performance problem.

On any given week, you will be:

- Designing and building scalable backend services in Java
- Developing and maintaining serverless APIs, and building and consuming REST and GraphQL APIs
- Taking features from idea to production, working alongside product and frontend teammates
- Improving the performance, reliability and scalability of our systems
- Debugging and resolving technical issues, and fixing the root cause, not just the symptom
- Writing automated tests and keeping our code easy to test and change
- Reviewing code and sharing what you know with the team

Projects you'll be working on at EatClub...

- Building new features that help restaurants fill tables and diners find excellent deals
- Extending our GraphQL and REST APIs as our products grow
- Tuning database queries and service performance as usage scales
- Improving how we monitor, test and ship our serverless services

It would be extra awesome if you also had...

- Experience building or working with CI/CD pipelines
- An interest in food, restaurants and dining out

You are...

- Proactive. You spot what needs doing and get on with it without waiting to be asked

- Product-minded. You care about why you're building something and who it's for, not just how
- A collaborator. You work easily with product, frontend and fellow engineers, and explain your thinking clearly
- Curious. You enjoy variety, like digging into a tricky bug, and keep learning

If you do a good job...

- Issues are found and fixed quickly, and rarely come back
- Teammates ship faster because your code is cle
