Job description

We're looking for a Backend Developer to help us build UXfolio, our flagship product. UXfolio is a website builder with a clear mission: help junior UX designers build lovable UX portfolios that turn their career dreams into reality.

You'll be contributing to this mission in a small team of 3 product designers, 4 developers, 2 marketers, and a determined product lead. Together, we cultivate a supportive and open-minded environment that celebrates uniqueness, efficiency, and drive. Our work and product strategy are guided by four core values: easy – we reject overcomplication; different – we think outside the box; delightful – we go beyond just getting it done; and stable – we build things that last.

What you bring

  • You have strong experience using Spring with Java/Kotlin.

  • You have experience designing and building RESTful APIs.

  • You are comfortable working with NoSQL databases (preferably MongoDB) and understand data modeling, indexing, and aggregation pipelines.

  • You have experience with containerization or cloud platforms (e.g., Docker, AWS, GCP, or Heroku).

  • You have experience using Git.

  • You are familiar with CI/CD pipelines and build automation (e.g., GitHub Actions).

  • You have a good understanding of application performance, scalability, and security principles.

  • You are familiar with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a frontend framework (it's a plus if you have experience with , but experience with React or Angular is also relevant).

  • You are comfortable exploring, evaluating, and integrating AI-powered capabilities and services into backend systems.

  • You are a team player and ready to exchange ideas, learn from others, and share your knowledge with your team members.

  • You have great communication skills and are fluent in English.

  • You are based in Hungary and available to visit our Budapest office twice a week.


What you'll do

  • Build user-friendly web applications.

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable and reliable backend services.

  • Take ownership of product features from concept to deployment, focusing on backend architecture and integrations.

  • Develop and maintain RESTful APIs that power our frontend applications.

  • Work with databases (MongoDB) to design efficient data models and ensure performance and data integrity.

  • Contribute to configuring and improving our cloud infrastructure and deployment processes.

  • Collaborate closely with frontend and product teams to deliver complete, high-quality features.

  • Be part of product decisions (e.g., what features we build).

  • Experiment with new technologies and tools.


The stack we use

  • Backend: Spring Framework (we use Kotlin, but it's perfectly fine if you know Java and are open to learning Kotlin).

  • Frontend (optional): , but experience with React or Angular is also relevant.

  • Deployment: Heroku for hosting our main application.

  • Infrastructure: DigitalOcean for external services like our Keycloak authentication server and Caddy reverse proxies.

  • Third-party integrations: AWS S3 for image storage and Stripe for payments.

  • Version control: Git.

  • CI/CD: GitHub pipelines.

  • Design: Figma for UI.

Job requirements

It is not a problem if you don't have experience with all the technologies in the stack, but you have to be ready to learn them rapidly.
