What’ll you do
- Ship business value fast: design, implement and release thin slices that reduce manual work, improve on‑time shipments, increase logistical visibility, and shorten cycle times
- Build and integrate Java-based microservices and APIs: expose secure, well-documented endpoints and integrate with eventing systems
- Make pragmatic architectural calls: design data contracts and integration approaches that balance speed with long‑term maintainability
- Establish foundations: set up CI/CD, automated tests, observability and SLOs to ensure reliability from day one
- Streamline operations: automate exception handling and reconciliations, retire legacy scripts/tools, and remove bottlenecks across the order‑to‑ship flow
- Collaborate and influence: work closely with Product Ops, stakeholders, and contribute and participate in our Backend Guild
- Own end‑to‑end delivery: discovery, design, build, deploy, monitor, iterate—and handle production issues to keep value flowing
What it takes
- 5+ years of experience building web applications and backend services, with at least 3 years of experience in using Sprint Boot in a (micro)services environment
- Proficiency in Java for designing, developing, testing, and monitoring production systems
- Experience with relational databases (like PostgreSQL)
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD environments
- Experience working in an agile team, and excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Deep understanding of event-based architectures
- Familiarity with Angular
- Comfort reading and understanding Python code
- Knows and understands basic concepts and procedures in one of the development disciplines
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Excellent work ethic, positive attitude and sense of urgency

What We Do
Protolabs is the world's fastest digital manufacturing source for rapid prototyping and on-demand production. The technology-enabled company produces custom parts and assemblies in as fast as 1 day with automated 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding processes. Our digital approach to manufacturing enables accelerated time to market, reduces development and production costs, and minimizes risk throughout the product life cycle.
3D Printing
Our 3D printing service offers a wide selection of materials and technologies to create prototypes and end-use parts with complex geometries and detailed features. With tight process controls, careful design reviews, and extensive quality monitoring, we ensure precise and repeatable 3D-printed parts, every time.
CNC Machining
We use 3- and 5-axis milling along with turning to machine parts from commercial-grade plastics and metals. Our online quoting system and automated manufacturing process enable us to ship parts within 24 hours, helping customers accelerate development and reduce time to market.
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Protolabs is an industry leader in quick-turn sheet metal parts for both prototyping and low-volume production. Our digital approach to manufacturing enables us to fabricate sheet metal parts in as fast as 5 days. Additionally, we can support our customers’ development efforts with component assemblies, several finish options, and screen printing.
Injection Molding
Our injection molding service offers two options—prototyping and on-demand manufacturing—which provide customers a tooling solution that aligns with their project’s requirements. It’s used for quick-turn prototyping, bridge tooling, and low-volume production of up to 10,000+ parts in 15 days or less.
