Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for an experienced Java engineer who’s excited to build high-performance systems, solve complex problems, and deliver features that make a real impact
- 5+ years of backend development experience, with deep expertise in Java
- Proven ability to solve complex problems, debug efficiently, and build high-quality systems

- Bonus points for experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, or data-driven APIs
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach — you enjoy working across teams

What the job involves
- We’re building the future of revenue intelligence — and our backend engineers are at the heart of it. As a Backend Engineer at Gong, you’ll tackle meaningful technical challenges, design systems at scale, and help shape products that transform how companies understand their customers
- Design and build backend services and APIs using Java, with a focus on scalability, reliability, and performance

- Play an active role in shaping Gong’s backend architecture as we scale
Our take
In the world of sales, relying on traditional methods like CRM notes for customer insights can be a time-consuming nightmare. Sales reps often spend hours sifting through data, yet crucial details get lost and decisions end up being based on guesswork. Recognizing this challenge, Gong founders saw the potential of AI to bridge the information gap.
Gong's innovative solution goes beyond simply recording customer interactions, it analyzes them as well. Gong identifies potential red flags and offers recommendations on the fly, helping reps navigate conversations toward successful closures.
With a proven track record and a global customer base that includes tech giants like LinkedIn, Slack, and Shopify, Gong is making its mark on the industry. The company is now focused on expanding its reach internationally and forging new partnerships, solidifying its position as a leader in AI-powered sales intelligence.
