Experienced Back-end Developer

Location: Remote (across EU time-zone)
Type: Full-time
Contract: Employee contract

Youll be joining the backend development of a live medical device SaaS platform used across Europe. Small team. High autonomy. Modern stack. And yes we expect you to use AI tools. Seriously.

• Real ownership: youre not a ticket-taker you take responsibility in the small team

• Meaningful product: medical device compliance software that genuinely matters to patients

• Remote first within the EU time zone: we care about output not where you sit

• Regulatory support included: QbDs expert team has your back on compliance questions

IFUcare is a SaaS platform that delivers electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) for medical devices - a regulated high-stakes domain where what you ship genuinely matters. The platform runs on AWS serves customers across multiple countries and is actively evolving.

Initially youll own the entire backend across a newly to be developed platform: the APIs the data layer and the integrations that keep the business running and the evolution of the architecture as the platform the long run youll work alongside a frontend and backend developer and collaborate with a DevOps team and external customer teams.

The technology:

Backend Must-have:

• Java 25

• Kotllin 2.3

• Spring Boot 4

• MySQL (Amazon Aurora)

• REST / OpenAPI 3.0

• JWT / OAuth2 / SSO

• Docker Jenkins AWS

Frontend Good-to-have:

• React 18 / 15

• TypeScript

• Redux Toolkit / TanStack Query

• Tailwind CSS Styled Components

• i18next

• 67 years of backend experience ideally in a SaaS product

• Your Java / Spring Boot experience: it is your primary tool you know it deeply not just casually

• Solid experience designing and consuming REST APIs and working with relational databases (MySQL or similar)

• Code quality is your priority and you find tests as important as the production code itself.

• Comfortable owning a new codebase contributing to an existing one and making architectural decisions

• Familiar with AWS CI/CD and containerized environments (Docker Jenkins)

• You actively use AI coding assistance (Claude Code Copilot Cursor) and it has genuinely changed how you work. You use AI as a coding helper but you still design the architecture and review anything the AI generates. Youre well aware of AI hallucinations and know the importance of not only having code that works but a high-quality and performant one.

• Strong English: this is mainly a remote role and async communication is everything. However we would like to meet our local team on a regular basis at one of our QbD offices in Belgium or in Spain.

• You dont panic when you inherit legacy code; you figure it out
