Junior Java Backend Developer

Job Summary

Junior - Full-Time - Engineering - Bengaluru. Experience: 1-3 years. Qualification: Degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field. Spring Framework certification is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain backend features and APIs using Java and Spring Boot.
• Write well-tested, documented code -- JUnit and Mockito are part of your regular workflow.
• Participate fully in Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives.
• Debug and resolve issues across the backend stack -- you own what you ship.
• Integrate with messaging systems (RabbitMQ) and work with relational databases (Oracle DB, MySQL).
• Contribute to code reviews -- give honest feedback, receive it with openness.
• Pick up adjacent technologies and frameworks as problems and projects evolve.
• Collaborate with front-end, QA, and product teams to deliver complete features.

Qualifications

• 1-3 years of hands-on Java development experience in a production or near-production setting.
• Solid grasp of core Java concepts (OOP, collections, concurrency basics) and Java 8+.
• Working knowledge of Spring Boot or Spring MVC and REST API fundamentals.
• Familiarity with relational databases and basic SQL (Oracle DB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL).
• Exposure to unit testing with JUnit/Mockito and a willingness to write tests first.
• Comfortable in Git-based workflows and Agile sprint cycles.
• Tech-agnostic mindset -- you chose Java, but you're not attached to it.
• A keep-going attitude: you research, iterate, and ask smart questions -- you don't stop at 'I'm stuck'.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to messaging systems (RabbitMQ, Kafka) or CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Any experience with Elasticsearch or AWS basics.
• Personal or open-source projects that demonstrate initiative beyond coursework.
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker).

Who Thrives Here

You've got enough experience to contribute meaningfully but enough self-awareness to know you're still building your foundation. You don't copy-paste answers -- you understand them. When you hit a blocker, your first move is to dig deeper, not to escalate. You're not attached to any particular language or framework; you're attached to solving problems well. You see code review as a learning tool, not a judgment.

What Success Looks Like

• Contributing to a live feature under guidance; tests passing; first PR merged. (30 days)
• Owning small features end-to-end with minimal supervision. (90 days)
• Clear growth in system thinking; independently handling medium-complexity tickets. (6 months)
