• Company: Binance
• Location: Singapore (Remote)
• Job Type: Full-time

About the Role:

Binance is seeking an experienced Java Backend Developer (mid to senior level) to join a greenfield project, meaning you’ll build systems from scratch, not just maintain existing ones. You'll work across the full software development lifecycle — from gathering requirements to design, development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and build scalable, reliable Java-based backend systems.
• Work with teams across functions to define system needs and architecture.
• Develop and optimize backend infrastructure components like databases, servers, and networks.
• Implement automated deployment, monitoring, and alerting systems for greater reliability.
• Identify and fix performance bottlenecks and other system problems.
• Apply caching, load balancing, and optimization techniques.
• Write and maintain clear documentation on system architecture and deployment processes.
• Monitor system health, troubleshoot, and roll out updates to maintain uninterrupted service.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on Java development experience (deep JVM ecosystem understanding).
• Strong expertise in MySQL and familiarity with at least one NoSQL database.
• Solid experience designing distributed systems and familiarity with at least one messaging middleware (like Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.), including understanding the underlying design principles.
• Ability to handle stressful situations and learn new technologies quickly.
• Excellent cross-team communication skills.

Why Binance:

• Work on innovative, fast-paced projects shaping the blockchain future.
• Collaborate with global, top-tier talent in a flat and user-first environment.
• Autonomy and ownership of your projects.
• Excellent opportunities for career growth and continuous learning.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Remote work flexibility (depending on team requirements).

Summary:

This position is ideal for senior backend engineers who love working in high-performance, distributed environments and want to build new systems from the ground up while being part of the fastest-moving company in crypto.
