Fullstack Support Engineer (Java/React)

Grape Up is a consulting and technology company helping enterprises build mission-critical applications by leveraging AI, cloud-native technologies, and modern software delivery practices.

We’re looking for an experienced engineer to join a senior, dedicated team providing production support and evolution for a major automotive OEM’s connected-vehicle platform – a portfolio of web applications and microservices covering telematics, subscriptions, payments, and remote services. You’ll resolve real production issues, then use what you learn to make the platform measurably better: refactoring, breaking down legacy monolithic pieces, modernizing the stack, and raising the bar on observability and automation.

What to expect from this roleWe work in a shifted schedule (10:00–18:00), which allows the team to better align with global client time zones and ensure solid coverage for production operations. We’re looking for someone who’s comfortable with, or prefers this setup.

This role also involves occasional business travel, including an upcoming project kick-off at the client’s site in the USA. If you enjoy a mix of remote work and international on-site collaboration, this could be a great fit.
