Remote Java Engineer

AODocs is a software company created in 2012 that makes a Content Services SaaS platform. It is included by Gartner (in its Magic Quadrant) and Forrester (in its Wave) as one of the top and most innovative players in the content services space, in a market populated by legacy on‐premises competitors like IBM FileNet, Documentum, and OpenText that are approaching end of life. Our product is used by large organizations such as Google, Veolia or Colgate to control their critical documents, protecting them against costly human errors while accelerating key business processes. Our client's main use cases are document control for large engineering projects, standard operating procedures, quality management, consulting and audit reports, and more generally, all business processes involving important documents in professional services, healthcare, HR, procurement, legal, and more.

The generative AI wave represents an important opportunity for AODocs, as more and more companies realize that AI assistants cannot work on messy information. AODocs' ability to control documents and their versions can be used to ensure AI assistants only work on the right, validated content, thus allowing AODocs to benefit from the AI market traction.

We are looking for a highly motivated Backend Engineer to join our growing team! The Backend Engineer is responsible for the end‐to‐end development of core parts of our web apps.

Work on the integration with Office 365 and other Microsoft products such as Teams.

Reduce our technical legacy, reduce our dependency on AppEngine, plan the migration toward a more recent version of Java (we run mainly Java 8).

Fix what slows down our release cycle in the code.

Added a new identity system allowing users to connect with Microsoft accounts and soon with "normal" emails and passwords.

Implemented an object storage service to act as a middle layer between AODocs and any storage we would like to add to it.
