About The Position

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll design, build, and scale the services and integrations behind Payment, Billing, Identity, and partner integrations that keep rent moving on time for renters every month — leading scoping, design, and implementation for the APIs you own, driving your own production rollouts to completion with minimal oversight, and working closely with product, design, and engineering peers to solve renters' most pressing problems in small, frequent iterations rather than big, risky releases.

Experience building robust, fault-tolerant systems with multiple external dependencies
Experience designing, building, and maintaining data pipelines
Proficient in Java frameworks and tools used at Flex, including Spring (core/web/boot), Gradle, JUnit, and JVM (memory/performance tuning, GC)
Experience with Service-Oriented Architecture, REST APIs, Message Queues, and scalable architectures
Experience with AWS (EKS, Aurora RDS, Elasticache, DynamoDB) and containerization tools
