Experienced Back-end Developer
Location: Remote (across EU time-zone)
Type: Full-time
Contract: Employee contract
You’ll be joining the backend development of a live medical device SaaS platform used across Europe. Small team. High autonomy. Modern stack. And yes, we expect you to use AI tools. Seriously.
What’s in it for you?
Real ownership: you're not a ticket-taker, you take responsibility in the small team
Meaningful product: medical device compliance software that genuinely matters to patients
Remote first within the EU time zone:we care about output, not where you sit
Regulatory support included: QbD's expert team has your back on compliance questions
What you’ll be doing
IFUcare is a SaaS platform that delivers electronic Instructions for Use (eIFU) for medical devices - a regulated, high-stakes domain where what you ship genuinely matters. The platform runs on AWS, serves customers across multiple countries, and is actively evolving.
Initially, you'll own the entire backend across a newly to be developed platform: the APIs, the data layer and the integrations that keep the business running, and the evolution of the architecture as the platform grows. In the long run, you'll work alongside a frontend and backend developer and collaborate with a DevOps team and external customer teams.
The technology:
Backend - Must-have:
Java 25
Kotllin 2.3
Spring Boot 4
MySQL (Amazon Aurora)
REST / OpenAPI 3.0
JWT / OAuth2 / SSO
Docker, Jenkins, AWS
Frontend - Good-to-have:
React 18+ / Next.js 15
TypeScript
Redux Toolkit / TanStack Query
Tailwind CSS + Styled Components
i18next
What you bring
6-7+ years of backend experience, ideally in a SaaS product
Your Java / Spring Boot experience: it is your primary tool, you know it deeply, not just casually
Solid experience designing and consuming REST APIs, and working with relational databases (MySQL or similar)
Code quality is your priority and you find tests as important as the production code itself.
Comfortable owning a new codebase, contributing to an existing one and making architectural decisions
Familiar with AWS, CI/CD and containerized environments (Docker, Jenkins)
You actively use AI coding assistance (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor…) and it has genuinely changed how you work. You use AI as a coding helper but you still design the architecture and review anything the AI generates. You're well aware of AI hallucinations and know the importance of not only having 'code that works', but a high-quality and performant one.
Strong English: this is mainly a remote role and async communication is everything. However, we would like to meet our local team on a regular basis at one of our QbD offices in Belgium or in Spain.
You don't panic when you inherit legacy code; you figure it out
Experience in regulated industries or with EU MDR / eIFU is a genuine bonus, but absolutely not required. We have regulatory experts in-house who will support you on the compliance side.
Who you are
Our culture is driven by values If this sounds like you, you’ll fit right in:
You’re resilient and tackle challenges with a positive mindset
You’re curious and always up for learning something new
You have a no non-sense approach honest, clear, respectful
You’re innovative and bring ideas, not just opinions
And above all, you’re serious about your work, but not too serious about yourself
