Backend Engineer Jobs in New Jersey (NOW HIRING)

Location: EU-Based, fully remote |Type: Contract B2B

We’re looking for a Back-End Engineer to design, build, and operate the services that power Elisity’s microsegmentation platform. You’ll work across our core backend -Java services, Kafka-based event streaming, and PostgreSQL data stores -building reliable, scalable systems that turn device intelligence and flow data into real-time policy decisions. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on system design, data correctness, and production reliability.

What you’ll do

• Design and build backend services in Java that ingest, process, and serve device-identity and network-flow data at scale.
• Own event-driven pipelines on Kafka -model topics, partitioning, ordering, and delivery guarantees so data flows reliably between services.
• Design and evolve PostgreSQL schemas for high-throughput, query-heavy workloads, and tune for performance, correctness, and safe migrations.
• Build and maintain APIs that other services and the product surface consume, with clear contracts and versioning.
• Make services production-ready: instrumentation, metrics, alerting, and the SLOs you’ll stand behind.
• Diagnose and resolve performance, scaling, and reliability issues across the data plane.
• Partner with architects, product owners, and other engineers to turn feature intent into well-scoped, buildable work.
• Contribute to code review, technical design discussions, and engineering standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong backend engineering experience building production services in Java.
• Hands-on experience with Kafka (or comparable streaming/messaging systems) - you understand topics, partitions, consumer groups, and delivery semantics.
• Solid PostgreSQL skills -schema design, indexing, query optimization, and safe migrations under load.
• A track record of building scalable, reliable distributed systems and reasoning about failure modes.
• Comfort owning services end to end, including observability and on-call-grade reliability.
• Clear communication and the ability to collaborate across a remote engineering team.

Nice to Have

• Experience in network security, device identity, or microsegmentation — or an adjacent security/networking domain.
• Experience with cloud-delivered, multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
• Familiarity with analytics or data-plane workloads, and large-scale data processing.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• 100% remote with flexibility and trust.
• High-impact role in a fast-growing scaleup environment.
• Modern, cutting-edge tech stack with real room to experiment.
• Strong ownership and influence over backend and system-design decisions.
• Supportive, collaborative team that values learning and initiative.

Full Stack AI Engineer

Location: EU-Based, fully remote |Type: Contract B2B

We\u2019re looking for an engineer who combines solid full-stack fundamentals with fluency in modern AI tooling. You\u2019ll own features end-to-end — from backend services through integrations to polished UI — using agentic developer tools to dramatically accelerate delivery and quality.

What You\u2019ll Do

• Design and ship full-stack features: Java services on the backend, Kafka for event streaming, Postgres for data, React on the frontend, Playwright for QA.
• Use Claude Code (and similar agents) to automate your daily dev workflow.
• Take ownership of functionality, monitoring and UX.
• Collaborate closely with product to ship iteratively and learn fast.

What We\u2019re Looking For

• Real, daily use of Claude Code (or comparable agentic tooling) as a core part of how you work.
• A sharp eye for UX and attention to detail on the frontend.
• A generalist mindset: you\u2019d rather own a feature across the whole stack than specialize in one layer.

Nice to Have

• A track record of automating away your own toil.
• Strong experience with Java (Spring Boot or equivalent) and React.
• Hands-on knowledge of Kafka and Postgres — data modeling, query tuning, event handling.

Why You\u2019ll Love Working Here

• 100% remote with flexibility and trust.
• High-impact role in a fast-growing scaleup environment.
• Modern, cutting-edge tech stack with real room to experiment.
• Strong ownership and influence over frontend decisions.
• Supportive, collaborative team that values learning and initiative.
