Granbury Solutions is building a next generation technology stack for our restaurant and winery management platforms and we need your help.  We’re looking for Java Developers of all experience levels to help change the world of food and wine forever.  If you’re hip to Spring Boot and wish the higher ups would give you a chance to use it, it might be time to get some new higher ups.

We have a number of positions available on our restaurant point-of-sale and direct to consumer wine teams.  Our new tech stack is Spring Boot on top of Couchbase, Rabbit MQ and Elastic Search.  

You’ll work with people who are as nice as they are smart.  You’ll get the guidance you need and you won’t be shamed when you stumble across a problem you don’t know how to solve on your own.  You’ll deal with a minimum of corporate nonsense and get the freedom to do things right.  

And you’ll do all this from the comfort of your own home.  This is a remote position, but you’ll keep in touch with your team with daily virtual standups.  We’ll pick a spot on the map every so often and get together for a technical conference or in person design confab.  But most importantly, you’ll give hard working locally owned businesses a real chance in their struggle against the empire.  Seriously.
