About the Role

Element34 is looking for a passionate Full Stack Engineer to join our team, where you’ll play a crucial role in developing and maintaining scalable backend systems while still being able to contribute to the frontend when necessary. This role is ideal for someone with strong backend development skills who thrives in building robust, high-performance applications and enjoys collaborating with frontend teams to deliver seamless web experiences.

In this backend-heavy role, you’ll have the opportunity to design, implement, and optimize backend architectures, ensuring the systems are scalable, efficient, and reliable. While the role focuses on backend (60%), your ability to engage with frontend technologies (40%) will allow you to have full ownership over the software’s functionality and flow.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable, and secure backend systems using Java.
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and microservices to support application functionality.
• Collaborate closely with frontend developers to ensure smooth integration with React/Angular-based frontend systems.
• Work with both relational databases (SQL) and NoSQL databases to design data schemas, optimize queries, and maintain data integrity.
• Leverage cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) to deploy, monitor, and scale applications.
• Implement and maintain containerization using Docker and Kubernetes (K8S).
• Write unit tests for both backend and frontend code to ensure code quality and reliability.
• Participate in code reviews to maintain code quality standards and mentor junior developers.
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, proposing and driving best practices in backend development, testing, and deployment.

Required Skills And Experience

• Bachelors or Masters in computer science or related fields.
• 5+ years of experience in backend development, with strong expertise in Java (must-have).
• Solid experience with frontend frameworks such as React or Angular.
• Hands-on experience with RESTful APIs, Docker, and NoSQL databases (such as MongoDB, Cassandra, etc.).
• Strong experience with SQL databases (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), including database design, optimization, and query writing.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and Kubernetes (K8S).
• Experience in writing unit tests and understanding of test-driven development (TDD) principles.
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies.

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to Automation Testing Frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress).
• Experience working in a SaaS (Software as a Service) environment.
• Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies.
