About Xolo
At Xolo, we believe solopreneurs deserve better. We've spent the last decade simplifying entrepreneurship - removing bureaucracy, automating admin, and enabling thousands of people across the globe to build and run their businesses on their own terms.

Our pioneering products are designed for freelancers, consultants, and microentrepreneurs who want to focus on their craft - not the paperwork. With more than 100 team members globally, we're building the best possible version of solopreneurship.

About The Role
We're looking for a Product Engineer who's motivated by technical challenges and real user impact. You'll help build and maintain core systems - from backend services to frontend interfaces - shaping a platform that gives entrepreneurs more freedom and less admin. It's a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a startup environment, values ownership, and enjoys cross-team collaboration and solving problems at scale.

As a Product Engineer At Xolo, You Will

  • Design, build, and maintain backend and frontend services that power Xolo's company-management platform.
  • Own features end-to-end – code, infrastructure, observability, and iterative improvements. You are in charge.
  • Turn accounting regulations into elegant automated workflows together with Product, Design, and our in‑house tax experts.
  • Thrive in a startup environment: identify bottlenecks, tackle technical debt, and ship small, safe, continuous changes.

You are the one we are looking for if you:

  • You are comfortable writing in Java, and Spring Boot, or can't wait to level up fast.

  • Experience with Kotlin and clojure is welcome too (We enjoy being challenged)

  • Python scripting is a big plus, especially if you're happy to dive into the JVM stack once in a while.

  • SQL comes naturally to you, and you design schemas that hold up under real user load. Experience with PostgreSQL is a plus.

  • You've worked with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and are eager to deepen your knowledge of networking, CI/CD, containers, and more.
  • You enjoy diving into edge cases and solving tricky problems — whether sketching ideas with an LLM or crafting every line of code yourself. You deliver clean, thoughtful solutions. "Works on my machine" is a bug, not an excuse. You build observability into your work and follow issues through end-to-end.
  • You're a quick and eager learner who shares knowledge openly and values shipping working software over endless debating.
  • You manage your work independently: you unblock yourself, communicate proactively, and rarely become a bottleneck.
  • You understand the importance of your work's impact, not just how it functions, but how it serves customers and the company.

Our technology (Always Evolving)

  • Java 21 | Spring Boot | PostgreSQL | AWS (EKS, S3, Lambda, Textract)
  • Apache Pulsar | Weaviate | Grafana + Prometheus + Loki | Terraform and GitHub Actions
  • Spring MVC + JSP/HTML5/SASS/JS frontend (future plans with React)

Why work at Xolo?

  • A team of Mavericks: We aspire to challenge the norm by encouraging bold thinking and embracing the unconventional. As a member of our team, you'll have the freedom to take risks, explore new ideas, and challenge the status quo.
  • We run like Clockwork: While we champion innovation, we also believe in operational excellence. Our processes are designed to be smart, efficient, and finely tuned.
  • Our Big-hearted nature: You'll work alongside mission-driven individuals who not only bring brilliance to the table but also lead with empathy. We believe that great work is built on strong relationships, and we're always ready to help, listen, and grow together.
  • At Xolo, autonomy isn't a perk—it's a given: We trust you to decide when and where you work. We value your autonomy and offer the flexibility to shape your workday in a way that suits your lifestyle.

Xolo Interview Process
Our interview process is designed to ensure a great fit for both you and the company. It typically includes the following stages:

  • 40-minute screening call with the recruiter.
  • 45-Minute interview with the COO -Cultural fit, team collaboration, and ways‑of‑working.
  • 60-minute engineering and architecture discussion.
