Java Tech Lead (SAAS product)

Intro:

We’re inviting a Tech Lead (JAVA) to join our team and help build a scalable ERP product serving tens of thousands of companies and individuals. Join us if you want to leave a meaningful footprint in society.

We are now entering an exciting new chapter: transforming our established ERP expertise into a modern, international SaaS business. In 2024, we launched RIVILE ERP, a cloud-native business management platform designed around automation, integrations, scalability and modern web technologies. Our ambition is to take the product beyond Lithuania and build a SaaS platform capable of serving businesses in international markets.

For a Tech Lead, this means joining at a particularly interesting stage — the product already has a strong business foundation and real customers, while the technology and architecture are still evolving. You will have the opportunity to influence architectural decisions, engineering practices and the evolution of a scalable, multi-tenant SaaS platform rather than simply maintaining a mature legacy product.

Our recruitment process consists of just two meetings:

1. Technical interview with HR, the Head of Engineering, and the Architect (remote). During this meeting, we briefly introduce our organization, the team, and the role, while also discussing your experience and assessing your technical knowledge.
2. Final interview with the CEO and the Head Of Engineering (preferably in person). This meeting is focused on aligning expectations from both sides and making sure we are a good match for working together.

The team:
Our engineering team consists of 19 developers across three teams: Frontend (5), Domain (10) and Platform (4). Each team has its own area of responsibility, but we work closely together, share knowledge, and help each other solve challenges.
You’ll be joining our Platform Team, a small team of four where everyone has a voice and the opportunity to make an impact. We value ownership, independence, and quality over simply getting things done quickly. We’re a friendly team that enjoys open discussions, welcomes constructive and honest feedback, and believes that good ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their role or experience.

We encourage everyone to take initiative, challenge existing approaches, and see things through to the end. While we make important decisions together, we also trust each other to work independently and take responsibility for the results. As a Tech Lead, you’ll be part of this culture – helping others grow, sharing knowledge, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.
