Senior Java Engineer (multiple positions)
About Us
Reclaim.ai is a smart calendar app that automates and defends the schedules of busy pros and teams. At the heart of our mission is the idea that priorities -- not random meetings -- should guide your workweek, and your time should be oriented around the stuff that really matters. Reclaim automatically blocks time for your tasks, habits, meetings, breaks, and personal calendar events at the best time in your schedule to save up to 40% of your workweek.
We’re a small, scrappy group of people with a strong bent toward failing fast, simplicity and commonsense product design. We don’t like to muddy the waters with fluffy words or lofty jargon, and we believe in a healthy separation of work and life.
This is a full-time employee position with full health, dental, and vision benefits to all employees as well as a competitive salary, a generous equity package, and a 401k program - bonus, all federal holidays are observed! We keep flexible hours and are building a remote-first team: half of us are located in Portland, OR, and the other half are distributed across the country.
Reclaim is backed by some of the top venture firms in the US, and you’ll be on the ground floor of a fast-growing company with a big mission.
About You
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Java Engineer to join our small team. Your responsibilities will include development of backend services and APIs, evolution of our persistence layer, integration into various collaboration platforms, and design and deployment of cloud infrastructure.
You should have both the experience and the desire to work on an ever-changing platform that is under immense growth. You have experience deploying and scaling in cloud environments and you’re comfortable with Postgres and Dynamo alike. You understand the value of automated tests, and can also recognize the moment they offer diminishing returns.
Lastly, you are pragmatic in your architectural decisions, recognizing that often the best tool for the job is the one the team is most comfortable with, but also knowing when to push the team outside their comfort zone if necessary.
What You’ll Do
- Write and maintain high performance Java code from day 1.
- Debug and optimize database queries and schemas, including the creation of indices as needed and the resolution of deadlocks when they happen.
- Write resilient distributed software that integrates with 3rd parties, such as Google Calendar, Slack, Office 365, Asana, Linear, and more.
- Develop REST (and perhaps GraphQL) services to be consumed by the Reclaim front end to start and eventually by 3rd parties.
- Participate in the process of continuous deployment, including multiple code reviews and deploys per day.
- Debug customer issues using logs, metrics, and traces.
- Participate in a regular on-call rotation.
Skills You’ll Need
- 7+ years of experience as a Java software engineer.
- Comfortable working in an agile environment that is deploying several times per day.
- Deep experience and understanding of AWS or similar cloud platforms.
- Strong SQL / Postgres experience, including schema design and some operational experience.
- A deep passion for customer advocacy and support.
- Experience with modern observability patterns and platforms.
