Senior Java Developer

About this job

With bold growth plans and strong momentum across multiple markets, we’re now looking for a new Senior Java Developer for our next phase of growth. About the Role As a Java Developer at Qred, you will take end-to-end technical ownership of the backend systems that power our core financial products. Working within a cross-functional team of developers, UX designers, and product managers, you’ll serve as a mission-critical bridge between complex third-party integrations and a seamless user experience. We trust our engineers to design, implement, test, deploy daily, and operate their own software in production, giving you direct control and architectural input over the future of our financial platform. Key Responsibilities Build secure, high-throughput backend microservices using Java and Spring, optimizing complex data flows across PostgreSQL databases. Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Tech Leads, and cross-functional teammates to design efficient APIs and system logic that enhance the core user journey. Lead by example as an early adopter of agentic workflows - using AI tools and MCP (Model Context Protocol) to accelerate feature discovery, implementation, and code quality. Ensure high system availability by maintaining robust logging, tracing, and alerting frameworks within AWS. Maintain high standards of security and compliance by enforcing best practices, system integrity, and thorough peer-review workflows. What we’re looking for We are looking for a seasoned backend engineer who can tackle complex architectural challenges effortlessly at the core of our business. You thrive in a flat, non-bureaucratic environment, possess a strong team spirit, and take pride in building long-term scalable frameworks. Qualifications 5+ years of professional experience writing, releasing, and maintaining production-grade backend applications (fintech or regulated environment experience is a strong plus). Deep technical mastery in Java, Spring Framework, and JPA/Hibernate for data persistence. Advanced knowledge of relational database design, optimization, and management using PostgreSQL. Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for deploying, monitoring, and maintaining scalable cloud services. Proficiency with AI development tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code to drive engineering velocity without sacrificing code quality. Why Qred? This is the place to be if you’re looking for a place to grow. Qred is growing fast, and our Qredsters along with it. With a non-bureaucratic organization and delegated responsibilities, we make sure there’s a short path from idea to action. In addition to our great culture, you get to work with the latest cutting-edge techniques, full ownership, and last but not least a bunch of great competent colleagues to learn from! One Last Thing This is a full-time, permanent position based in our headquarters in Stockholm. We believe our culture thrives when we work together, which is why we have an office-first approach. To balance this with some flexibility, we have the option of working remotely one day per week. We review applications on a rolling basis and while the start date is flexible, the right candidate can join us immediately. Qred celebrates diversity and does not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability status, or any other applicable characteristics protected by law. #LI-JL1
