council-capital - Java Developer
Requirements
• You are a strong generalist engineer first and a Java engineer second. You have firm opinions about object-oriented design and do not define yourself by a single language or layer. • You are pragmatic. On a platform we are maintaining rather than advancing, you can discern between a fix that should be quick and one that requires a proper solution. • You context switch without dropping threads. Managing several small tasks at once is typical for the week. • You take feedback on your code directly and without defensiveness. Our review culture is blunt, and work gets pushed back until it matches our team standards. • You are resourceful in a code base with minimal documentation. You actively seek answers. • You remain steady when a customer environment is down or a vulnerability must be patched urgently. • You are a true teammate—you collaborate with product, project management, and QA, and do not work in isolation. • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including production Java • Object-oriented Java in a deployed enterprise application, including J2EE-era patterns • REST APIs and single-page applications—both developed and consumed • SQL fluency: writing queries, working with data structures, and migrating data between environments (you do not need to be a DBA; we have DBAs) • Experience with enterprise or SaaS products deployed to multiple external customers • Experience adhering to enforced team standards in a code-review-gated environment • Authorized to work in the United States and available during US business hours • Tomcat or comparable application server configuration • Front-end capability in addition to backend work: modern framework plus TypeScript or JavaScript (we use Angular) • Azure environment setup and deployment • CVE and security patch management • Comfortable with AI-assisted development tools • JSP exposure—useful context, but not a requirement for this role. • Council Capital and our portfolio companies are committed to building high-performing teams by hiring the best talent—period. • We believe in putting the right people in the right seats, regardless of background, and we’re always looking for individuals who bring fresh thinking, grit, and a drive to make a difference. • Thank you for considering a role with one of our companies. We’re excited to learn more about you.
Responsibilities
• Bug fixes, triage, and product support across both products, working from a single shared code base rather than customer-specific branches • Contractually committed feature work and module refactors, including performance improvements on aging integrations • Deployments alongside our SecOps team, including customer environment setup and upgrades • Security and vulnerability remediation within contractual timelines • SQL and data work across customer environments: queries, data structures, and migrating data between environments • Participation in code review—both having your work reviewed and reviewing the work of others • After ramp-up, improving how configuration, properties, and user-defined fields are handled in the legacy platform • What good looks like: Within roughly two months, you are handling straightforward support tickets and data work independently. By six months, you are supporting production environments, working at the same pace as the engineers already on the team, and the fixes you write reach every customer who needs them.
