#138204 - Software Engineer

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.

Qualifications
