Senior Backend Engineer (Java) - job 2 of 2

At BuildOps, we’re building a groundbreaking software solution, purpose-built to support today’s commercial contractors. From helping our customers manage their service department all the way to project management, we’re breaking the mold and building a team that invests in our mission statement. We love driven, self-motivated folks experienced in tech start-ups and thrive in fast-paced environments. Could you be our next hire?

This candidate will join a well-funded, fast-growing technology startup with the unique opportunity to help build out a critical function for the company.

As a member of the team, your primary focus will be to help continue to build and enhance our industry-leading platform. We are looking for a motivated, self-starter who can work in a distributed team environment. The day-to-day responsibilities are broad, and you will ultimately be responsible for shipping high-quality software that powers many businesses and shapes the maintenance industry.

What you will do:

  • Build and maintain our backend platform with real-time, event-driven systems, services, and features utilizing latest methodologies for scalable and testable software.
  • Write high-quality maintainable code with high automated test coverage and documentation.
  • Develop, support, and improve our REST and GraphQL services.
  • Propose recommendations, build prototypes, and provide feedback.
  • Promote, teach, and enforce our coding and documentation standards.
  • Work in tandem with the QA, Data and DevOps engineering teams to ship high-quality and high-precision software. 
  • Co-own and drive the short and long-term technical vision of your squad with your teammates.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineers within your team and others.
  • Help improve the technical quality of our work through regular technical design, code reviews and automated testing.
  • Share your technical knowledge and expertise; participate in showcasing new features and best practices to fellow engineers.
  • Communicate effectively with engineers, product managers, customers, partners, and other leaders.

What We Look For:

  • Equivalent of 5+ years of experience in Senior engineering roles (designing modules and APIs, building services in distributed or monorepo architectures).
  • Experience writing and debugging high-volume and high-scalability components and services.
  • Experience and thorough understanding of distributed async platforms such as queues (SQS, RabbitMQ or similar) and streaming platforms (Kafka).
  • Strong understanding of modern databases (MySQL, Postgres) with experience in using ORMs and designing, tuning complex queries.
  • Strong knowledge and practice of Java code that is clean, well-tested, and reusable.
  • Strong focus on automated testing using JUnit, TestNG or similar frameworks. Experience writing unit and integration tests.
  • Strong experience with Springboot (or similar) services run on the AWS platform for scalable REST and GraphQL APIs.
  • Strong communication and technical writing skills.
  • As a senior individual contributor, we expect you to be a role model to more junior engineers.
  • B.S., M.S. or PhD in computer science, engineering or related fields.

What we offer:

  • Competitive salary and stock options
  • A comprehensive benefits package
  • Unlimited paid time off
  • Company events and team-building activities
  • Talented and motivated team members who care deeply about one another (seriously, everyone is rooting for your success!)
  • The chance to get in on the ground floor and build something truly groundbreaking for ourselves and our amazing customers

About BuildOps:

BuildOps is a fast-paced, high-growth start-up committed to transforming a $300B+ industry through an innovative all-in-one SaaS platform. Leveraging the latest technology, we’re taking Commercial Specialty Contractors from the world of pen and paper to cloud-based, data-driven operations. Our leadership team has deep experience in both the Construction and SaaS technology industries, as well as a resume that includes Stanford, Harvard, Wharton, Cornell, Microsoft, and multiple successful start-up exits.

BuildOps has more than doubled year-over-year while raising over $140 million in total funding (including a recent round in Feb 2024). Top-tier investors like Founders Fund, Siemens, B Capital Group (BCG's venture arm), 01 Advisors, and more have backed BuildOps! Also, Dick Costolo, former CEO of Twitter, just joined our board, adding to an impressive group of investors/advisors including former President of Salesforce, Gavin Patterson; CAA founder Michael Ovitz; NFL legend Joe Montana; former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, and Boost Mobile CEO Stephen Stokols.

Forbes Magazine
“BuildOps is unique because it addresses the problem of efficiency in construction for an often-overlooked audience. Rather than focusing on large projects, or catering to owners, they look to the needs of technician-heavy subcontracting firms working in the commercial space.”

TechCrunch
“The new financing will be used to support the company’s continued growth. BuildOps sells software that integrates scheduling, dispatching, inventory management, contracts, workflow and accounting into a single software package for commercial real estate contractors with staff ranging from a few dozen to several hundred employees.”

Crunchbase
In a statement, [former NFL superstar] Joe Montana noted that his firm (Liquid 2 Ventures) has an investment thesis in supporting America’s working class… “I just love the idea of making their lives far easier and better,” he said. With BuildOps, “you have one solution that does it all and talks seamlessly to every single part of their business from parts to ordering to inventory and more.”
