Job Purpose: 

We are seeking a skilled Senior Java Developer (or Kotlin Developer) with a proven track record of designing and building systems from the ground up. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in greenfield environments—where you start with a blank slate and architect robust, scalable solutions from zero.

If you're excited about solving real problems through thoughtful system design and making foundational technical decisions, we want to talk to you.

What you’ll do:

• Design and build new systems from scratch in Java or Kotlin — no legacy code, full ownership from day one
• Lead or contribute to architectural decisions, choosing tools, frameworks, and design approaches
• Apply proven software design patterns (e.g., Singleton, Factory, Builder, Chain of Responsibility) to solve real engineering problems
• Explain design choices clearly and engage in thoughtful technical discussions with the team
• Build robust, scalable, and maintainable systems using modern development practices
  
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions
• Participate in code reviews and technical deep dives that raise the bar for the whole team
• Shape the technical foundation of a product — your decisions will directly impact long-term success
• Work in a truly greenfield environment where autonomy, quality, and system thinking are valued
• Be part of a team that prioritizes technical excellence, clean architecture, and thoughtful trade-offs

Who you are:

• 8-12 years of professional experience in Java or Kotlin development
• Demonstrated experience building systems from scratch
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design and software design patterns, such as: Singleton, Factory, Builder, Chain of Responsibility, etc.
• Ability to clearly explain design decisions and trade-offs
• Experience with system architecture including APIs, microservices, and distributed systems
• Solid foundation in performance optimization, scalability, and software engineering best practices
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, agile environment

What you’ll get:

• Competitive Equity Package: Earn more than just a competitive salary. Receive equity shares to gain wealth as the company grows.
• Gym & Wellness Reimbursement: Training for a big race? Don’t sweat it. We offer gym reimbursement for all employees.
• Generous Vacation Policy: We think time off is essential… and we encourage it!
• Duvet Day: Perfect for those cold winter days, when you don’t want to escape the warmth of your bed!
• Mental Health Day: You deserve a day off! A chance to recharge and enjoy ‘Me Time’
• 4 weeks of ‘Work from Anywhere’: Whether you’re working from the beautiful beaches in the Bahamas or by the fireplace on your ski trip in Switzerland - just make sure to send us a picture!
• Professional Development: We’re here to help you hit your career goals to help get you where you want to be.
• Unlimited Coffee, Drinks & Healthy Snacks: Because we love spoiling our team!
• Flexible Working: We offer you an autonomous environment to perform at your highest level!

Headquartered in London with offices in New York, Hong Kong, Bangalore, Singapore, Melbourne, Toronto, and Taipei – our team is global and growing. We encourage you to apply if a challenge excites you. Come and join the Easyship team!
