Job description

Our Mission is Empowering Companies to Attract Top Talent

At Recruitics, we are a leader in Recruitment Marketing, dedicated to transforming talent attraction and conversion through innovative, data-driven strategies and Saas solutions. Our mission is to empower employers with cutting-edge Recruitment Marketing tools that optimize hiring strategies and improve outcomes. As pioneers in the recruitment technology space, we leverage modern technology to revolutionize job advertising, continually pushing the boundaries of design, data, and user experience to deliver exceptional value to our clients.

Job Description

We’re looking for a Lead Full Stack Engineer to take the reins on our Integrations Team, which connects our internal systems and client platforms (like ATS and HRIS systems) through robust APIs, scalable microservices, and smart data pipelines. This isn’t a plug-and-play job. You’ll architect the core services that enable seamless interoperability for our analytics and automation platforms— Vision and AI Analyst—while mentoring engineers and ensuring high standards across the stack.

If you’re excited by deep system design, API architecture, and leading development for client-facing integrations at scale, this is your seat at the table.

Key Responsibilities

  • Technical Leadership: Own the technical strategy and execution for all integration services, setting direction on architecture, design patterns, and scalability.
  • Full Stack Ownership: Lead backend service development in Java/Kotlin + Spring Boot, while guiding and contributing to key frontend components built with React.
  • Systems Integration: Design and implement APIs and microservices that integrate with external ATS and HR systems, ensuring secure, scalable data flow.
  • Mentorship & Collaboration: Mentor engineers across the team, foster a culture of quality and ownership, and collaborate with Product, DevOps, and client-facing teams.
  • Infrastructure & DevOps: Drive deployment excellence in Kubernetes environments, working closely with our platform team to ensure high availability and automation.
  • Data Strategy: Oversee integration with both NoSQL (MongoDB) and relational databases, ensuring the right storage decisions are made at the right scale.
  • Observability & Performance: Champion monitoring, logging, and tracing strategies to ensure system visibility and performance across services.
  • Innovation: Identify new tools, frameworks, and methods to improve how we integrate, scale, and operate, especially around automation and client onboarding.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in full stack or backend software engineering, with 2+ years in a technical leadership or staff/lead role.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Java or Kotlin, with hands-on experience in Spring Boot and distributed systems.
  • Strong frontend understanding and ability to contribute to React applications where needed.
  • Extensive experience designing and integrating with RESTful APIs, ideally involving third-party platforms like ATS, HRIS, or payroll systems.
  • Strong experience with Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Solid experience with MongoDB and relational DBs (Postgres/MySQL).
  • Proven success leading engineering efforts with cross-functional impact.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical teams.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Apache Airflow or other data orchestration tools.
  • Prior work in HR tech or recruitment platforms.
  • Knowledge of data security and compliance standards related to candidate/employer data.
  • Experience with event-driven architecture or service mesh patterns.

Why Join Us?

At Recruitics, you’ll have the opportunity to take full ownership of design within a cutting-edge team focused on leveraging AI and data to transform the recruitment marketing landscape. You’ll be joining a creative and collaborative environment where your work  will directly impact our clients’ success and you will have opportunities for career growth, professional development and continuous learning.

We believe in rewarding great talent with more than just a paycheck. Along with a competitive salary and performance-driven bonuses, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that covers all the essentials: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and a standout 401K program with a discretionary company match. Enjoy well-deserved breaks with above-average paid time-off, parental leave, and employees’ support programs. Additionally, we provide two exciting perks: Winter Recess, offering a full week off between Christmas and New Year’s, and Summer Fridays, where you’ll have 6-hour workdays on Fridays during the summer months. Whether you prefer working fully remote or collaborating in person at our vibrant offices in New York, Chicago, or Atlanta, we’re committed to your well-being and creating a work environment that supports your personal and professional life.
