The mission
We’re growing qTest, the platform testers use to organize their work, into a faster, more reliable, and easier-to-use SaaS product, adopting AI where it truly benefits users. It’s already trusted by over 70,000 users and handles more than 17 million API calls every day.
You’ll play a key role in shaping how we build it: leading technical implementation, maintaining a high bar for quality, and driving backend-focused improvements. That means reworking the storage architecture, setting up a message bus, improving APIs, splitting a monolith, enhancing features in a mature product, and tightening security.
You’ll be part of a team (paired with a PM and EM) that owns a clear product area. We work in two-week sprints, deploy continuously behind feature flags, and usually focus on projects that run one to two months.
Required experience and what you will do:
  • Design and build backend features in Java (Spring, Hibernate/JPA, PostgreSQL)
  • Lead design discussions, write RFCs, and weigh trade-offs
  • Run spikes, break down epics, and help plan sprints
  • Improve code quality through continuous refactoring, and addressing technical debt systematically
  • Work with the product team to prioritize backend improvements that increase reliability and performance
  • Live and advocate the “you build it, you run it” mindset
  • Help troubleshoot production incidents using Datadog, BetterStack, and Incident.io
  • Mentor by example through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing
  • Own the domain architecture and partner with architects on cross-team patterns
  • Occasionally pitch in on DevOps basics (Helm charts, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, AWS console/API)
Bring one or more extra strengths:
  • Database: schema design, query tuning, safe migrations
  • Frontend: React/TypeScript, performance and accessibility
  • DevOps: CI/CD automation, observability, ephemeral environments
  • Architecture: event-driven and service-oriented patterns
  • Technical excellence: championing modern practices
You can look forward to:
  • Flexible working schedule (no core hours) 
  • Learning and career growth opportunities 
  • 25 days of paid time off 
  • 3 Sick Days 
  • 2 days of paid Volunteering Leave per year to get involved in your local community or in a cause that matters to you 
  • Hybrid work environment with home-office allowance
  • Meal allowance
  • Pension Contribution  
  • Life & Disability Insurance
  • Paid Sickness Leave  
  • A team of passionate professionals who are experts in their fields
  • Events for employees to learn, celebrate, and socialize (training sessions, hackathons, parties, sports events, board game gatherings, BBQs), and much more
