Lifted, an Upwork Company™ is hiring a Mid-Level Engineer

We are seeking a Mid-Level Engineer to support a live production hiring-event platform used by client-facing teams and end users. This role is highly production-focused and requires someone who can diagnose issues quickly, work across backend and frontend systems, collaborate with support and go-to-market teams, and take ownership of code changes from investigation through deployment. The ideal candidate has strong Java/Spring Boot backend experience, secondary Django/Python experience, React frontend experience, and the ability to troubleshoot complex production issues across distributed systems. This person should be comfortable working independently, handling ambiguity, prioritizing urgent client-impacting issues, and communicating clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Enterprise experience strongly preferred. Key Responsibilities - Analyze and resolve production issues related to live hiring events and event workflows. - Debug malfunctioning or misconfigured product features across backend, frontend, data, and integration layers. - Work closely with client-facing support teams and go-to-market stakeholders to triage and resolve support tickets. - Monitor production systems and respond quickly to alerts, performance degradation, or system health concerns. - Support timely issue resolution in alignment with established SLAs. - Maintain and update event logic as dependencies, systems, and business requirements change. - Support architecture changes and system integrations that may impact event functionality. - Own code changes through build, merge, deployment, and post-deployment validation. - Communicate clearly and concisely when working through ambiguous production issues. - Use data and system signals to troubleshoot production behavior and identify root causes.
