Senior Java Back-end Developer (full remote)

About AODocs

We are a SaaS software as a service company, and our content service platform AODocs is used by 500 customers, including large enterprises like Equifax, Solvay or Air Liquide to manage their business critical documents. AODocs ensures that information is easily accessible by the people who need it, while being protected against unauthorized content and human errors, and that business processes are properly followed, with full traceability. For example, AODocs helps Google ensure the design documents of its data centers are properly controlled, accelerating the construction projects while avoiding costly mistakes.

AODocs is a growing and profitable company, recognized (by top analyst firm Gartner, and by its own customers) as one of the most modern solutions in a market populated by legacy, pre-cloud systems like OpenText, IBM Filenet, Hyland and others. This market is now being disrupted by the new generative AI technologies, which allows software to understand the content of a company's documents, and thus to automate tasks that previously required human work, such as document tagging, data extraction from unstructured text, or analysis of complex documents.

We believe the generative AI will dramatically change the way companies create and use their business content, and since the beginning of the year, we have made it a priority to integrate this new technology in our product. The combination of the generative AI capabilities to understand and generate text, with our existing document management and workflow features, enables a large number of high value use cases, from contracts management to RFP responses, audit reports, or recruitment processes.

Our team is made of passionate and dedicated people who love to innovate. We work in a very collaborative and transparent manner : we believe that good ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their formal job role.

The position

Do you like having some creative freedom where your ideas can be easily discussed and implemented in a small and dynamic company? How about being able to have a high impact on a product with millions of users? Do you like the possibilities offered by new cloud technologies, especially serverless? You’ve knocked at the right door.

We are looking for a highly motivated Backend Engineer to join our growing team! The Backend Engineer is responsible for the end to end development of core parts of our webapps. We expect you to help us take our products and our team to the next technical level and to teach us something we don’t know.

We’re a transparent organization. Important metrics and numbers are communicated to all team members. Decisions are discussed collaboratively, not behind closed doors. If you value being part of the discussions on how to shape the future of the product, by giving your input, weighing in and being heard, then you might just be happy to work with us.

You will work closely with the Product and Frontend teams, sometimes in squads, and with ad hoc teams meant to quickly address specific matters.

Our infrastructure is entirely on the cloud on Google Cloud Platform. We use Firebase, AppEngine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub / Sub. We code mainly in Java and a bit of Javascript, and Go.

Core responsibilities :

• Implementing substantial features, fixing bugs
• Taking part in the operations team to make sure we do not go below our 99,87% uptime
