Spring Boot service engineers
Typed modules, starters, and configuration that survive the next feature, not a single Application.java that became the API.

Java / Spring Boot developers who ship enterprise services
A Java hire is not “someone who can annotate a controller.” iQud engineers ship Spring Boot modules, Spring Security, and service boundaries that survive the next feature, not a single Application.java that grew into production.

The Java / Spring Boot seats we actually staff
“Java” is not one job. We match on the service your product needs: the same stacks behind iQud’s live Software Development, Cloud, PostgreSQL, and MySQL pages.
01 02 Secure APIs, not a filter that grew up
Spring Security, sessions, and tokens in the client session. We will not let an unreviewed SecurityFilterChain become production by accident.
03 Microservices that stay bounded
Spring Cloud, service contracts, and cutovers treated as product work, not a fleet of copies of the same monolith.
04 High-throughput backends
APIs and workers designed for banking- and healthcare-grade load: retries, idempotency, and an owner in standup.
05 Data layers the next module can live with
Postgres or MySQL schemas, JPA mappings, and indexes designed so the next feature does not fight last quarter’s entity graph.
06 When Python, Node, or a mixed backend seat is better
A data-adjacent Python service or a NestJS module fleet still wants a different hire. We will say so on the intro call instead of forcing a Java-only seat.
Tools they open on day one
Every tile is a live iQud technology or service page. The strip below is the backend catalog around Java and Spring Boot, the same domain these engineers already ship.
Back End
From intro call to a merged PR
A Java / Spring Boot hire should be shipping a route or a module in your repo, not sitting in a two-month onboarding theatre while the service contract stays a rumour.
1 Map the service gap
Spring Boot vs a wider Java stack, Postgres vs MySQL, seniority, overlap hours, and what “done in 30 days” looks like on the API.
2 Shortlist real engineers
We match available Java / Spring specialists to your brief and share relevant API, security, or microservice work.
3 You interview
Meet the human who will join standup. Validate how they talk through a versioned route, a failed job, and the last unreviewed SecurityFilterChain they actually owned.
4 First sprint in your tools
Repo access, environments, and a first pull request, typically inside a week once you say go.
Start with one seat. Grow if the backlog says so.
Most clients embed a single Java or Spring Boot engineer first. A pair or a service split only when the work actually needs it.
One embedded engineer
A Java / Spring Boot specialist joins your squad, takes direction from your lead, and works in your rituals.
Best forClosing an API velocity gap without a new vendor process
Dedicated Java / Spring seat
A stable owner for the API, a microservice fleet, or the module tree, with senior review on the sprint.
Best forA product that needs a named Java / Spring owner
Scoped service initiative
A defined slice: Spring Boot migration, a new bounded context, or a security cutover with contracts already in motion.
Best forA milestone you can point at, not an open-ended bench
Java / Spring Boot hiring rates, in writing
Two ways to staff a Java / Spring Boot engineer. Hourly for spikes and defined tickets. A dedicated monthly seat when you want someone in your standup every day, at a lower effective rate than running the clock.
Hire by the hour
$20/ hour
Flexible Java / Spring capacity for API spikes, reviews, and scoped tickets. You only pay for hours worked.
- Same Java / Spring engineers as a monthly seat
- Best for overflow, a route fix, or a single module
- Start fast, pause when the spike is done
- Billed against actual hours, not a retainer
Best value
Hire for a month
$2,000/ month
A named Java / Spring Boot engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated service capacity, with senior review in the cadence.
A full-time month at $20 is $3,200. This seat is $2,000.
- Named engineer in your repo, environments, and standup
- API and microservice work in the same engagement
- Month-to-month. No annual lock-in.
- Lower cost than the same hours billed at $20
Rates are for dedicated Java / Spring Boot engineers (Spring Boot, Spring Security, APIs). Seniority mix and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call. We will not quote a stack we do not already ship.
Why product teams staff Java / Spring Boot here
A mediocre Java developer produces a demo that works on their laptop. These engineers produce a service that survives real traffic, real contracts, and your next quarter of routes.
Spring modules, not “Java who can add @RestController”
They live in Boot starters, SecurityFilterChain, and why last week’s 500s came from a handler that should have been a validator.
Your repo, your cloud, your hours
GIFT City overlap with Europe and the US. Service reviews happen live when your leads are online.
Senior eyes on the sprint
Mid-level speed without unsupervised schema drift. Review is part of the engagement, not an extra SKU.
Ten clients a quarter, on purpose
We do not run a revolving bench. Capacity is limited so the engineer you interview is the one in standup.
Java / Spring Boot hiring questions
Start with one. Most clients embed a single senior or mid-level Java or Spring Boot engineer, then add a pair if the API backlog justifies it.
Both. A Java seat is services, APIs, and domain work. A Spring Boot seat is modules, security, and microservices on top of Java. We will only shortlist engineers on stacks we already ship.
That is a backend hire, not this seat. Say so on the intro call and we will not force a Java-only profile onto a mixed service bench.
After we map the role and you approve the hire, first pull requests typically land within a week, faster when the repo and environments are ready.
Yes. GitHub, Jira, your cloud, your standups. We do not invent a parallel process unless you ask for one.
Hourly ($20) is for spikes and defined tickets. You pay only for hours worked. The monthly seat ($2,000) is a named Java / Spring Boot engineer on your sprint, about 160 hours of dedicated capacity. The same month billed hourly would be $3,200. Seniority and overlap hours are confirmed on the intro call.
Give the product a Java / Spring engineer who can ship the API
Tell us Spring Boot vs a wider Java stack, the data layer, and the first route you want in production. We’ll come back with a named profile, a start window, and a two-week plan.
