About the Role
We’re looking for an expert database engineer with a strong focus on relational databases, especially PostgreSQL and Oracle. In this role, you will work at the intersection of code, data, and collaboration, driving high-impact backend development and data integration efforts across a complex application landscape.
You’ll be instrumental in maintaining and evolving large-scale Java / Spring Boot backends, integrating deeply with PostgreSQL, Oracle and other data technologies.

• Collaborate with development teams to integrate efficient and scalable data access layers into Java / Spring Boot services.
• Modernize legacy database interactions, ensuring high performance, security, and maintainability.
• Lead and mentor teams in writing clean, effective SQL.
• Troubleshoot complex data-related issues, from schema design to query tuning.
• Depending on your knowhow in Java backend technologies and frameworks, you also participate in code reviews, especially on data-heavy components, and provide guidance on best practices for working with relational databases.
Our Tech Stack Includes
• PostgreSQL (core focus), Oracle, MongoDB, Redis
• Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate
• RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus
• Angular / TypeScript
• Linux/Windows scripting using Bash
• Public and Private Cloud environments
