OurFamilyWizard is a technology company on a mission to help families thrive across all of life’s circumstances. We bring together two leading family management brands: OurFamilyWizard, the world’s most trusted co-parenting application, and Cozi, the #1 family organizing app.
Cozi is the leading family calendar and organizing app, helping millions of families manage busy family life and receiving over 250,000 5-star ratings.

Nearly one million parents and family law practitioners have leveraged OurFamilyWizard to coordinate schedules, record documentation, exchange digital payments, and settle disputes. Together, the platforms provide a holistic set of solutions for all types of families.
As a Senior Java Engineer , you will directly contribute to features that make everyday life a little bit easier for families on their co-parenting journey. You will be part of a product team, and operate alongside a collaborative group of product managers, designers, QA analysts, automation engineers, and other web and mobile engineers working together to solve meaningful problems for parents, children, and practitioners. We are looking for an individual who is experienced in creating high quality software and has a deep knowledge of Relational Databases, Hibernate, and the Spring Framework. In addition, we value individuals familiar with microservices architecture who are passionate about solving problems.
Please note, we're only accepting applicants located in the United States and are unable to provide sponsorship at this time.
What You Will Accomplish
Getting to know teammates, technology, and tactics .
The first day will be spent partnering with your manager and a teammate to get your local environment set up and fixing a bug. The following 29 days will involve connecting with teammates across OurFamilyWizard and Cozi to gain a high-level understanding of how we prioritize, plan, build, and deliver value to families on our platform. You will build deeper connections with product and platform teammates as you get more immersed in the daily and weekly agile rituals, and the API guild. By the end of your first month, you will be acclimated to the operating rhythm and rituals of your product team and gain confidence by taking on increasingly complex tasks.
Try, learn, ship.
By day 60, you will be comfortable operating within our SDLC from planning through production releases. You will have a broad understanding of our backend architecture, and a deeper understanding of the services within your team’s area of ownership and the APIs that power our client experiences. By releasing regularly, you will have an impact on end users.
Solidifying the foundation.
Beyond the first couple of months, you will grow into an autonomous operator, capable of architecting solutions to complex problems that are consistent with our existing patterns and best practices with minimal supervision and support from others. You will partner with cross-functional engineering teammates, as well as your product manager, designer, and engineering manager to help build execution plans to build out new features that support our product and business strategy.
Accelerate growth.
With a solid foundational understanding of platform architecture, design patterns, and best practices you will have opportunities to inform and affect change at the platform level to further your ownership, impact, and growth.
