ReciMe is a recipe app revolutionizing how cooks organize, plan and shop their recipes. Our smart importing tool enables users to aggregate all their recipes in one platform within seconds - whether those recipes came from an Instagram video, recipe blog or grandma’s recipe box.

We’ve been a Top 10 app in the US App Store’s Food category for months and were recently featured on The Drew Barrymore Show.

Now, we’re looking for a Backend Developer with Java experience to join our small team!

🚀 What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate directly with our CTO (Nic) and co-founder (Christine) as the lead for ReciMe’s backend, driving new innovative features and improvements in scalability, latency, and data architecture.
  • Own and deliver key projects like:
  • Designing and leading the rollout of a multilingual localization system.
  • Developing a fully integrated, shoppable grocery list feature.
  • Integrating with external supermarket APIs.
  • Research, evaluate, and implement new technologies - including generative AI.
  • Debugging edge cases, enhancing parsing accuracy, and optimizing performance to support thousands of diverse recipes.

💪 What You Bring

  • A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of backend development experience using Java and the Spring framework (or equivalent).
  • Experience using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to solve engineering problems and accelerate development workflows.
  • Strong familiarity with LLMs or NLP frameworks to implement AI-driven features.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure and services, ideally on AWS.
  • Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing tools (e.g. Bitbucket Pipelines, Terraform).
  • Detail-oriented problem-solver with excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • Proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and ORM tools like Hibernate.
  • Confidence working with RESTful APIs and third-party integrations (e.g., Firebase).
  • Ability to create and maintain API documentation (e.g., Postman, Notion).
  • Strong Git skills and familiarity with agile development practices (e.g., Jira).
  • Bonus: Startup experience or a desire to wear many hats and own your work.

🤝 Details

  • Full-time role
  • Fully remote, working with a team across the US, Australia, Philippines and Brazil
