AI-Native Java Backend Engineer
Hiring AI-Native Java Backend Engineer
We are seeking a Core Java Developer with strong backend engineering fundamentals and practical exposure to Generative AI technologies. The ideal candidate will contribute to building scalable enterprise applications while leveraging modern AI-assisted development and GenAI-driven product features.
The ideal candidate will also be an early adopter of Generative AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI, Groq, ChatGPT, or similar, and leverage them to enhance productivity, accelerate development, and maintain code quality.
We want engineers who
- Ship fast using AI-assisted workflows
- Build scalable microservices in Java / Spring Boot
- Integrate LLM APIs into real enterprise products
- Use AI to improve code quality, testing, and architecture decisions
- Think like system designers, not ticket closers
Tech environment:
Java • Spring Boot • Microservices • Cloud • Docker • Kubernetes • LLM APIs • Cursor
Who We’re Looking For:
We are looking for AI-Native Java Backend Engineers who actively use tools like Cursor (or similar AI-native IDEs) to design, build, refactor, and scale production-grade systems. Someone with 2+ years of hands-on experience in building scalable backend systems and microservices, along with working knowledge of modern front-end development and practical exposure to AI-assisted development or AI-driven features.
Why This Role is Perfect for You
You won’t be “just a developer” — you’ll become a intelligent problem solver in the AI era.
You’ll work on a product platform that competes with global leaders — not a small experimental startup.
We are building next-generation enterprise SaaS products powered by AI. We believe developers should think in systems, ship fast, and use AI as a force multiplier — not as a gimmick.
