Full-time, remote, open to Java developers anywhere in the world, and paying up to $115,000 a year. That's the shape of this one. If you've spent real time inside the Spring ecosystem and want a role where enterprise applications are the actual job rather than a line on a resume, keep reading.
This sits within a software development team that builds and maintains backend systems that other parts of the business depend on daily. It's not a greenfield project where you're inventing architecture from a blank file. There's an existing codebase, existing conventions, and existing services already running in production, and the developer who joins is expected to work within that reality from day one.
What you'll be doing
The role covers the core loop of enterprise backend work: building new functionality, keeping existing services healthy, and ensuring nothing ships without tests.
- Design, build, and maintain backend applications and services using Java
- Write unit tests as part of the standard development cycle
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable software
- Weigh in on how new services get structured before the first line of code is written
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues as they come up
Last quarter, a team running a setup like this one caught a memory leak in a long-running batch job three days before it would have taken down an overnight reporting pipeline. That's the kind of catch this role exists for: not glamorous, but the difference between a quiet Monday and an incident report. Most days won't look like that. Most days look like writing a new endpoint, reviewing a teammate's pull request, and moving a ticket from in-progress to done.
The unit testing expectation isn't a checkbox exercise either. Code that ships without coverage tends to come back as a bug report a few sprints later, usually at a worse time than it would have been if it had taken ten extra minutes to catch. Writing tests as you go, rather than retrofitting them afterward, is treated as part of doing the job well, not an optional extra step someone else can clean up.
What you bring
A bachelor's degree is the education requirement here. Naukri Mitra typically sees the strongest applicants for roles like this one pairing that degree with two years of direct, hands-on Java experience, which is also the minimum the team is asking for. That two-year figure reflects roughly the point where someone has usually worked through a full development cycle more than once, from initial design through production support, rather than only ever joining a project midstream.
- Java, at a level where enterprise-scale codebases feel familiar rather than intimidating
- Spring Framework, hands-on rather than textbook knowledge
- SQL and relational database work
- REST API design and consumption
- Object-oriented design principles applied in real code, not just interview answers
- Git
- Unit testing as a habit, not an obligation
If you've also touched microservices architecture, Kubernetes, or a message broker like Kafka, mention it. Those aren't dealbreakers if you haven't, but they do shorten the ramp-up period considerably. Enterprise Java teams tend to accumulate infrastructure over time, and someone who's already comfortable navigating that kind of complexity gets to useful work faster than someone learning it from scratch.
Pay and what comes with it
The salary tops out at $115,000 a year in USD, positioning this among the better-paying remote Java developer jobs currently open in this category. Anyone tracking Java developer remote salary trends will recognize that figure as competitive for a role at the two-year experience mark.
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- 401(k) matching
- Remote-work flexibility with no location restriction
- Paid holidays, with occasional team-building events depending on the employer
The health coverage and 401(k) matching are consistent across most employers hiring for this kind of role, while the paid holiday schedule and any team events tend to vary a bit more depending on company size and location strategy. Worth confirming the specifics once you're in conversation with a hiring manager. None of this replaces base pay as the main draw here, but it rounds out a full-time offer that's already competitive on salary alone.
How the team works
Distributed teams live and die by their documentation habits, and this one takes that seriously. Decisions get written down. Pull request descriptions explain the why, not just the what. If a teammate is asleep when you hit a blocker, the expectation is that you can usually find the answer in a prior discussion thread rather than waiting hours for a reply.
That won't suit everyone. Developers who do their best thinking out loud, in real time, with someone else in the room, sometimes find distributed async work slower to adjust to at first. Most people get comfortable with it within a month or two.
Code review carries real weight in this setup too. With less real-time back-and-forth than an in-office team gets by default, a pull request comment often has to do the job a hallway conversation would otherwise handle, so reviewers are expected to leave feedback that's specific enough to act on without a follow-up call.
Worldwide eligibility means the team already spans multiple time zones, so meeting times get set with genuine give in them rather than anchored to one region's working hours. That kind of asynchronous, documentation-heavy rhythm is common across distributed engineering teams generally, and it tends to be one of the bigger adjustments for anyone moving into a remote Java developer role from an office-based one.
Applying
Submit a resume that reflects real Java project experience, ideally with specifics: what you built, what scale it ran at, what broke and how you fixed it. A portfolio or GitHub link helps but isn't required if your resume already tells that story clearly. Candidates who move forward will have a first conversation centered on a past project, followed by a technical discussion focused on real design tradeoffs rather than syntax quizzes.
Expect the whole process to move at a reasonable pace rather than dragging across weeks of back-to-back rounds. A strong application with clear, relevant project details is usually enough to get a first conversation scheduled within days, rather than waiting in a slow queue.
