Your role at Neopix
At Neopix, we design and engineer digital products across industries: from medical, fintech, and SAAS to food, fitness, and real estate —you name it, we’ve probably done it. Our current clients are several global companies, some very cool startups, and a couple of big-shot finance management clients. We are looking for someone excited to be a part of a new team and move Neopix forward. The core of our software engineering is much like the world of software building itself. It starts with having a strong foundation while adding features on top of it and learning a lot in the process. We pay special attention to debugging and testing, and each of us has a sense of ownership in a team environment. As our Senior Java person, you'll be a key contributor to the growth and development of Java solutions that come out of Neopix. You are a natural when it comes to communication, you love to learn, and you have a big-picture approach to solutions.
Here's your daily life at Neopix:
- Engineering
You will be responsible for architecting Java-based backend solutions and working on developing new features or modifying and scaling the existing ones. You will be working on Spring applications hosted in AWS and mostly rely on consuming external REST API services.
You will closely work with the design team, participate in design reviews, and support their recommendations with your input. Your ideas and work will influence the approach to our architectural solutions and making technical decisions.
- Communication
An open and honest communication approach is your guiding principle. You use it to address what your team needs and expects. You set up meetings to inform, clarify, or collect any piece of input from clients and your team and present approaches in an impactful way.
- Organization
Work as part of both our in-house and global product development teams, with team leads and senior engineers at the helm. Collaborating and connecting with other departments at Neopix to get the whole picture of how we work (and because they're cool): Design, Management, QA, Engineering, and Analytics. Learning about our team's processes and the tools we're using step-by-step.
The teams at Neopix never work separately - our engineers are always a part of our creative process. More than 50 people share a physical and digital space at Neopix and work as one big happy unit: engineers, designers, illustrators, strategists, marketers, product managers, one CEO, and occasionally somebody's cat or dog.
A company trying its Best
In today's world, work tends to become life, and life easily gets consumed by work. That's why, when it comes to being at Neopix, we made balance a priority. It means we give people the tools, guidance, and support for growing their careers with plenty of safety nets and encouragement. We are the wind beneath their wings.
We spent some time looking for the right mix of structure and flexibility. Seriousness and fun. Hard decisions and easy solutions. And we've come to the conclusion that a perfect workplace is where people do rewarding work and feel comfortable being back on yet another Monday.
