Wrike is the most powerful work management platform. Built for teams and organizations looking to collaborate, create, and exceed every day, Wrike brings everyone and all work into a single place to remove complexity, increase productivity, and free people up to focus on their most purposeful work.

Our vision: A world where everyone is free to focus on their most purposeful work, together.

About the role:

Wrike is building a new generation of engineers who pair solid Java fundamentals with genuine, hands-on AI fluency. This isn’t a fixed lane for a 10-year veteran. It’s a newly created talent track for someone who already builds with AI as a natural part of their job- and wants to grow into full end-to-end ownership over the next year or two, with a clear, supported path to do so.
We evaluate this role on what you’ve actually built and how you work, not on years of tenure. If you have a strong Java base and real curiosity about AI-assisted development- not just awareness of it- this is worth a conversation.

You’ll sit inside one of our cross-functional Scrum teams and work on real product features from day one- not isolated tickets handed down with every decision pre-made. You’ll get more ownership as you demonstrate it: starting with clearly-scoped backend work and growing toward the kind of end-to-end, full-stack ownership our senior builders have.
AI tools are not optional here. You’re expected to work AI-native from day one: using them daily as part of your toolkit, experimenting, and deliberately getting better at AI-assisted development to remove friction from your workflow.

Your Impact:

Build and ship backend features in Java/Spring, with growing exposure to the full stack as you take on more scope across modern frontend technologies (TypeScript, React 19) and legacy components
Work directly with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude/Codex, our internal AI portal, and MCP) as a daily part of how you build- experimenting and finding new ways to save real time
Write automated tests, take part in code reviews, and contribute to task estimation and technical planning
Navigate an existing, living codebase- learning what to reuse, where rebuilding makes sense, and how to hold the line against tech debt
Take increasing ownership of features as you build trust- this is a growth track designed to transition you into a full end-to-end owner
Work closely with senior engineers and teams, picking up the critical thinking and judgment calls that come with full system ownership

Your Qualifications:

A solid foundation in backend engineering, with comfort in Java (21), Spring, REST APIs, and SQL, TypeScript, React 19
Genuine curiosity about and active use of AI coding tools- not avoidance, not just “awareness,” but a desire to push past the learning curve
Evidence of things you’ve actually built and shipped, even at a smaller scope- we care more about what you’ve done than your title or years of experience
A growth mindset: comfortable navigating a non-trivial codebase and taking on more ambiguity as you prove you can handle it
Good collaboration instincts- you ask questions, raise issues early, and work seamlessly within a cross-functional team

Our stack:

Java (21), Spring, REST APIs, SQL
TypeScript, React 19, Redux, Dart
PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ
Unit/integration testing, Java web stack
AI tooling: Cursor, Claude/Codex, Zencoder, internal AI portal, internal MCP

Who Is Wrike and Our Culture

We’re a team of innovators and creators who solve the complex work problems of today and tomorrow.

Hybrid work mode

Wrike is our people, not a place. With 1,000+ employees collaborating across nearly every time zone, we support talent through 10 global hubs — Australia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, France, India, Ireland, Japan, and the United States — offering flexible ways of working that include remote work, hybrid environments, and co-working spaces across many locations.

While flexibility looks different across teams and regions, employees located near certain hubs — particularly in Prague (CZ), Nicosia (CY), Bangalore (IN), and Rennes (FR) — are generally expected to collaborate in person around 2–3 days per week, balancing the flexibility of distributed work with opportunities for in-person collaboration and connection.
