Workplace: remote

Employment Type: full

Description

MONKEY builds enterprise-grade catering software for restaurant organizations that operate at scale. We’re looking for a backend-leaning Full Stack Engineer who enjoys solving meaningful product problems, designing thoughtful systems, and shipping high-quality software that customers rely on every day. 

This role is a strong fit for someone whose center of gravity is backend design, API design, and system evolution. You’ll help modernize and grow a cloud-based SaaS platform used in real operational environments, with the chance to shape both new features and the way existing systems are improved over time. 

What you’ll do 

• Design, build, and refine full stack features for a multi-tenant SaaS platform serving enterprise restaurant and catering customers. 

• Design and implement backend services and REST APIs with strong attention to clarity, maintainability, and backward compatibility. 

• Work across Java/Spring services and modern React/Node.js applications as part of an evolving platform. 

• Contribute to architectural improvements and help move existing patterns toward more event-driven designs over time. 

• Write automated tests and help maintain a reliable, secure, production-ready engineering environment. 

• Author and maintain CI/CD workflows in GitHub Actions and participate in the full lifecycle from design through deployment. 

• Collaborate closely with product and engineering peers to turn real-world customer needs into thoughtful software solutions. 

• Take ownership of the features you build, with a strong focus on follow-through, product quality, and steady delivery. 

What we’re looking for 

• Professional experience as a full stack engineer, with strong backend depth and comfort working across the stack. 

• Strong experience with Java, Spring Boot, and Hibernate in production systems. 

• Production experience with React and Node.js. 

• Experience designing and implementing REST APIs in real-world applications. 

• Experience working with cloud-based SaaS applications and multi-tenant product considerations. 

• Familiarity with message-based or event-driven systems. 

• Experience shipping meaningful software in e-commerce, ERP, or CRM environments; e-commerce experience is especially relevant for this role. 

• Commitment to automated testing, code quality, and secure development practices, including awareness of common web security risks. 

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, including hands-on work with GitHub Actions or similar tooling. 

Nice to have 

• Experience with approval workflows, complex pricing, or enterprise order flows. 

• Exposure to POS integrations or payment gateways. 

• Experience with Azure Cosmos DB or other document databases. 

• Familiarity with observability practices and OTEL-style instrumentation. 

• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools, or interest in learning within an established cloud environment. 

• Experience in hospitality, restaurant, or catering software. 

Why MONKEY 

This is a role where your work can have direct, visible impact on a product used in real business operations. You’ll join a team that values thoughtful engineering, practical problem solving, and steady improvement over unnecessary complexity.
