What you’ll be doing
The Senior Engineer will design and deliver product capabilities that enable AI workflows within Reapit products.
This is a full stack role. You’ll work across React and TypeScript on the front end and Kotlin with Spring Boot on the services behind it, building the interfaces and workflows where AI-enabled capability meets the user.
We’re hiring across the stack, and we’re interested in engineers who are strong on one side of it and genuinely comfortable working on the other rather than handing it over. Tell us where your strength sits — we have roles leaning both ways.
All of our services are written in Kotlin. You do not need Kotlin to apply — if you know Java and Spring Boot, the ramp is short and we’ll support it. Note this is a server-side role: Kotlin here means backend microservices, not Android.
We have a preference for candidates who have experience using AI and agentic development practices to improve delivery, quality and maintainability.
Key Responsibilities:
Planning and Requirement Analysis:
Collaborate Across Departments: Work closely with product managers, quality assurance, and other departments to define technical project specifications and requirements.
Requirement Analysis and Estimation: Lead the team in analysing technical requirements, conducting research, and estimating efforts.
System Design:
Technical Design and Implementation: Design scalable, secure and maintainable solutions across React front-end applications, Kotlin and Springboot Services, REST APIs and integration points required to support AI-enabled product workflows.
Implementation:
Code Development and Review: Actively write production-quality React, TypeScript and Kotlin code, participate in code reviews, and uphold engineering standards across front-end and backend services.
Testing and Validation: Perform rigorous testing and validation of solutions to ensure the quality of deliverables.
AI Workflow Enablement: Contribute to product features that integrate AI capabilities into user workflows, including orchestration patterns, tool integrations, human-in-the-loop experiences, evaluation, guardrails and observability.
Documentation: Develop and maintain accurate documentation for engineering projects, ensuring all necessary materials are produced and maintained for future reference and compliance.
Project Delivery:
Agile Participation: Actively participate in agile ceremonies, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and reviews.
Project Delivery: Ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
Maintenance:
Technical Guidance: Provide technical guidance and support to team members on best practices and technical issues.
Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement opportunities for improving performance, maintainability, and team predictability.
Incident Management: Support the management of incidents and technical issues, helping drive appropriate decisions and communicating updates on active incidents to stakeholders.
Who we're looking for
At Reapit, we prioritise hiring individuals who share our values and possess the right attitudes and behaviours for success. Whilst some of the listed requirements may be important, don’t worry if you don’t meet all of them, we’d still like to hear from you.
Qualifications and Experience:
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years in software development, with modern React and TypeScript — component design, state management, front-end testing and accessible user experiences — Essential
Hands-on Java and Spring Boot — REST API design, service-to-service communication and production support of backend services — Essential
Comfortable owning a feature end to end, from the front-end through to the service behind it — Essential
Experience delivering product features that integrate with AI, automation or workflow orchestration capabilities - Preferred
Kotlin — nice to have, not required. We’ll support the ramp from Java.
Experience working with distributed teams, including offshore resources.
Technical Skills:
Strong React and TypeScript experience, including component design, state management, front-end testing and accessible user experiences.
Knowledge of relational and non-relational databases.
Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices, REST APIs and event-based architecture.
Hands-on Java with Spring Boot — API design, service-to-service communication and production support of backend services.
Experience with testing methodologies (unit/integration/E2E testing, mocking, shift-left).
Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines and build tools.
Exposure to public cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and familiarity with IaC tools like CloudFormation, CDK, and Docker.
Experience with AI-enabled and agentic development practices is preferred, including use of coding assistants, agentic workflows for development and testing, prompt/tool design, evaluation, guardrails and safe adoption patterns.
Understanding of SOLID design principles.
