Company Description
We are seeking a hands-on Software Engineer to support a high-traffic, live event platform. You will diagnose and resolve production issues across interconnected backend and frontend systems, partner with client-facing teams, and keep active events running reliably.
Java and Spring Boot are the primary focus. Senior-level ownership, autonomy, and the ability to ramp up quickly across multiple projects are essential.
Enterprise experience is strongly preferred.
Job Description
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze, triage, and resolve production issues, including problems affecting events that are already in progress.
- Partner with client support and go-to-market teams to address support tickets and meet established service-level agreements (SLAs).
- Monitor production systems and respond promptly to alerts and performance degradation.
- Support architecture changes and system integrations that affect the platform.
- Maintain and update event logic as dependencies and underlying systems evolve.
- Support and onboard additional team members as the team grows.
