Software Developer, Backend Developer, Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Developer at Harris ERP, you write and review code every week, make sound architectural calls, and help lead a small team, including local and overseas developers, as we continue investing in and evolving our offerings.

This role reports directly to the VP of Research & Development and works closely with product, QA, Tech Ops and other teams across the Harris ERP portfolio.

• Develop and execute strategies to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Customer Support department, aligned with company objectives and customer needs.
• Collaborate with the VP of Operations to define operational goals, develop KPIs, and create roadmaps to achieve targets.

• Design, build, and ship production code using modern Java frameworks and enterprise-grade engineering practices. You’ll be expected to stay in the codebase, not just review it.
• Own non-trivial pieces of the modernization effort end to end: from technical design through code review, testing, and production rollout.
• Make pragmatic architectural decisions that balance modernization goals against delivery timelines and the realities of a live, revenue-generating product.

• Provide day-to-day direction, coaching, and technical mentorship to a small team of local and overseas developers, setting priorities, unblocking work, and holding a consistent quality bar across time zones.
• Partner with the VP of R&D on staffing needs, performance feedback, and career growth conversations for your teammates; formal HR actions (hiring, compensation, formal reviews) are owned by the VP, with your direct input.
• Build working rhythms, async updates, documentation habits, and review cadences that make distributed collaboration with overseas developers effective.

• Use, and help your team use, AI coding assistants and agentic tools as a standing part of your own workflow for scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, and code review.
• Identify where MCP-based tooling and AI agents can replace brittle flat-file integrations or manual operational work.
• Provide timely operational reporting to support ongoing validation of current and newly implemented processes.

After 6 Months:

• You’ve shipped meaningful, production-quality contributions to the codebase and understand the City Suite platform well enough to make independent design calls.
• You’ve built a working relationship with the local and overseas developers on your team, with clear expectations and a review process everyone understands.
• You’ve identified at least one area of the platform ready for modernization and proposed — or implemented — its replacement.

• You own a meaningful slice of the platform in production — architecture, code quality, and operational health included.
• The patterns and standards you’ve set are visible in the team's code, and newer or outsourced developers are ramping up faster because of documentation and mentorship you’ve put in place.
• AI-assisted workflows are a normal part of how your team ships code, and you can point to concrete time saved or quality improved as a result.

• A track record of designing and shipping production-grade backend services in Java or a comparable modern, statically-typed language. We care about what you’ve built, not a specific year count.
• Experience owning REST API design and integration work in a real production system.
• Experience providing technical direction or mentorship to other developers, formally or informally, including reviewing others’ code and helping them grow.
• Comfort working directly with distributed or outsourced development teams across time zones, with strong async, written communication.
• Active, hands-on use of AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) as part of your regular development workflow.
• Solid grounding in relational database design and SQL.

• Experience building software within an AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC), or contributing to a team that has adopted one.
• Direct experience with Quarkus, Jakarta EE, Hibernate, Map Struct,…
