You will ship backend features end to end (APIs, database changes and the tests that prove them) for the apps our customers, groomers and operations team use every day.

What you'll do

- Build and change REST APIs for the customer app, the groomer app and the admin panel, from request validation down to the database.
- Write database migrations and JPA entities for new features, and check them with SQL.
- Write unit and integration tests for every change, and keep the build green.
- Connect third-party services such as payment webhooks, WhatsApp and SMS messages and push notifications, following the patterns already in the code.
- Add logs, metrics and alerts to the features you build, so problems show up before customers report them.
- Fix production bugs:



read the logs and metrics, reproduce the problem locally, and ship the fix with a test that would have caught it.
- Build admin tools the operations team asks for, each behind the right permission.
- Work with product, operations and the mobile app developers to turn their requests into shipped features.
- Write a short design note before larger changes, and update the docs when you change behaviour.

- You write tests as part of the work, not after it.
