Java Developer (Backend) - remote

We are a remote startup (headquartered in Canada) building a smart, curious, and driven team that’s making software to help sales reps sell better.

Prospect is a lead generation app that helps you find contact data right inside your browser in real time. The best sales teams from the top tech companies worldwide use Prospect to crush their sales targets.

You enjoy writing beautiful code. You care not just about whether the code works, but you think deeply about how well it performs, and how it will be understood by future developers.

You like shipping things. You realize that building excellent products is a marathon, not a sprint, and regularly make improvements in iterations.

You are an excellent communicator. You realize that working remotely requires thoughtful communication and you do so through great written communication.

You self-manage and are open to feedback. You enjoy taking a goal and figuring out how to ship it without heavy direction and regular check-ins.

You are product and customer-centric. Whether it is a bug fix, perf improvement, or a new feature, you realize that every line of code is an opportunity to make a user’s experience better.

We are currently a team of 7 developers. Our roles are divided based on the projects we work on.

We work in 4-week long development cycles in which we focus on adding new features, fixing bugs, or making improvements. After each cycle, we have a 2-week cool-off which we use to work on anything we would like to as well as plan for the next cycle.
