Java Developer at Yandex Tracker

Yandex Tracker is not just a tool, it is first and foremost a product for collaboration for any business. We help manage processes in a wide variety of spheres: from IT startups to oil rigs — anywhere there is a need to manage chaos and build workflows.

Tracker was born in fire: existing solutions couldn't handle Yandex's scale — we built our own platform. Since then, we have grown from an internal tool into a top product on the Russian market.

But the challenge is only beginning: we need awesome and ambitious folks to compete with industry giants. This is not about maintenance — it's about creating a product that will make waves in the industry.

We are looking for someone who cares. Someone who wants not just to code, but to create, influence, and grow. If you are ready to be a driver of change, not a passive performer, this role is for you.

About the team

We are not just colleagues – we are a team that values results and meaningful work. Here's what characterizes us:

• Focus on development. We have built our processes so that meetings and ceremonies take up no more than 15% of the time. This allows developers to concentrate on launching projects and features, not on endless calls.
• Speed and ambition. We proved that the impossible is possible – we completely changed the architecture of a key component in just one quarter.
• Proximity to customers. We regularly meet with customers face-to-face. We particularly enjoy visits to our friends from the brewery.
• Team spirit. Our corporate life is vibrant: pizza parties, rooftop hangouts, karaoke in the office, team games of CS and streetball outside.
• Flexibility and mobility. As a distributed team, we actively use the opportunity for business trips for live communication and collaborative work.

What tasks await you

Conquering On-Premise Tracker is a leader in the SaaS market, but we aren't stopping. Our new challenge is the on-premise market. This is a huge, untapped territory with no success stories. We will become pioneers and set a new standard for the entire industry.

Tracker for Everyone, Not Just IT We are breaking the stereotype that Tracker is a tool exclusively for developers. Our mission is to revolutionize simplicity and convenience so that specialists from any field can effectively manage their tasks with our product.

We expect that you

• Have solid experience, and it's more than just CRUD. You've already moved beyond standard tasks, delved into architecture, fought for milliseconds of performance, or handled complex integrations
• Take responsibility upon yourself. For you, doing a task means seeing it through to the end and making sure everything works as it should
• Are a source of ideas: you see what can be improved, don't stay silent about it, propose solutions, and are ready to lead them
• Know how to negotiate, are open to dialogue, respect others' opinions, and can defend your own position with arguments
• Are results-oriented, not process-oriented, always ask 'why?' to make sure we are doing the right things

We are looking for people with healthy career ambitions. We have all the opportunities for your growth — from leveling up technical skills to developing as a mentor and leader. The main thing is your desire.

Important: this role is not for those seeking a quiet harbor and minimal responsibility. We are looking for those ready to influence the future of our product.
