Job Description
About the Backend Java Developer Role
Join Robert Half's esteemed client in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as a Backend Java Developer on an exciting long-term contract. This pivotal role offers the chance to architect scalable, high-performance backend systems using Java and Kotlin. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams including product managers, designers, and QA specialists to deliver features that drive business success.
