About the Role:

As a Senior Backend Engineer in Wrike’s Solutions Unit, you’ll build and evolve backend services that power key enterprise workflows - especially around resource management - workload, capacity planning, utilisation analytics, asset scheduling. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering peers to design robust solutions that make work more efficient for our ideal customer profiles (ICPs), from fast-growing startups to large enterprises. Your work will directly support Wrike’s mission to become the leading workflow solution provider through differentiated capabilities and a highly customizable platform.

Your Impact:

Design, build, and improve backend features - from new services to enhancements of existing functionality.
Tackle complex technical and product challenges, collaborating with your team to refine and validate solutions.
Estimate work, write automated tests, and perform code reviews to ensure high technical quality and maintainability.
Contribute to iterative, fast-paced delivery using best practices in design, testing, and deployment.
Use AI tools daily (e.g., coding agents, automation) to accelerate development, improve quality, and reduce manual work.
Influence product decisions by sharing technical insights and customer-centric perspectives with Product Managers.
Help evolve our architecture as we continue moving toward a microservice-based, highly scalable platform.
Continuously learn and actively support the growth and development of your teammates.

Your Qualifications:

Strong, hands-on software development experience with Java (3+), Spring (including IoC concepts), REST APIs, and SQL.
Confident working with both relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational (Redis) databases.
Experience with modern unit and integration testing frameworks, and solid understanding of the Java web stack (HTTP, filters, servlets, web security).
Proven experience working in product teams, collaborating closely with cross-functional partners.
Excellent English communication skills, with the ability to clearly share ideas and present solutions in team settings.
A proactive, collaborative attitude and a passion for solving real customer problems.
Strong interest in improving technical systems and processes, not just building features.
Curiosity about AI and regular use of AI tools to enhance your development workflow.

Standout Qualities:

Hands-on experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., Angular, React, or Vue), TypeScript, HTTP requests, and REST APIs.
Ability to design and architect complex web applications and backend systems independently.
Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and core JavaScript concepts.
Experience collaborating with Product Managers and Designers during Product Discovery.
Previous experience building solutions for enterprise customers or within enterprise environments.
Proven track record of designing robust, scalable, and secure system architectures.

Our Work Style:

Cross-functional Scrum teams where every voice matters and teams are central to decision-making.
Daily collaboration across FE, BE, QA, UI/UX, and Product to deliver end-to-end value.
Strong investment in architecture, CI/CD, and internal tooling to support daily deployments with minimal friction.
Backend engineers are expected to drive technical improvements, contribute to architectural evolution, and help shape product direction.
Ongoing transition toward microservice architecture, giving product teams greater ownership and flexibility, supported by dedicated technical teams.
Hybrid work setup with access to great office locations, supported by modern tools and AI-assisted workflows.
