Backend Engineer (Kotlin)

About us

Since 2002, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the US. Built in New York City, our document management tool is used by county clerks, title companies and small law offices.

The role

ES Software is hiring a Backend Engineer (Kotlin) to work remotely from India. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. We hire in India through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.
