Senior Java Developer

STRABL is looking for a Senior Java Developer to join our high-performing fintech engineering team. This role is ideal for someone who has built secure, scalable systems at a fast-moving fintech startup and is ready to help shape the future of financial infrastructure.

You'll work on a modern tech stack, lead critical backend development, and play a central role in our product evolution. If you're excited by complex systems, ownership, and building things that matter — we'd love to talk.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Java (preferably Java 11 or newer) and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Security).
• Architect and manage distributed microservices using tools like Spring Cloud, Mongo, Mysql and Redis, ensuring scalability, resilience, and high performance.
• Have knowledge and build the multi tenant systems
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and QA teams to deliver features from concept to production in short release cycles.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code with strong emphasis on domain-driven design, SOLID principles, and test automation (JUnit, Testcontainers, Mockito).
• Integrate with third-party fintech services such as payment gateways, fraud detection systems, open banking APIs, and KYC providers.
• Implement secure coding practices and ensure compliance with industry standards like PCI DSS, GDPR, and ISO 27001.
• Deploy and monitor services using Docker, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, and centralized logging tools (ELK, Loki, or Datadog).
• Participate in technical design reviews and drive architectural decisions to improve codebase quality, system performance, and developer experience.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and knowledge sharing.
• Leverage cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS) to build and manage services using EC2, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager, and event-driven architecture (SQS, SNS, Lambda).
• Stay up-to-date with fintech trends and challenges — prior experience at a fintech startup is a must.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of professional experience building production-grade Java applications
• Proven experience working in a fintech startup or high-growth financial product team
• Strong understanding of multi-tenant, backend architecture, microservices, event-driven, and distributed systems
• Deep knowledge of Java, Spring Boot, SQL/NoSQL (Mysql, MongoDB), REST APIs
• Hands-on experience with secure API design, data encryption, and compliance protocols
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration (Docker, K8s)
• Comfortable with fast-paced environments, ambiguity, and high ownership roles
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset and should be proficient in speaking/writing in English

Nice to Have:

• Experience with event-driven systems, Kafka, or RabbitMQ
• Familiarity with fintech flows like transaction reconciliation, payment orchestration, or virtual wallets
• Exposure to OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman collections
• Experience with observability tools like Grafana or OpenTelemetry

Why Join STRABL?

• Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses
• Attractive equity options to share in the company’s success
• Flexible remote-first work culture
• Flexible working hours to support a healthy work-life balance
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge fintech solutions that impact millions of users
• A collaborative, inclusive team where your contributions make a difference
• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities
