WE ARE DEXT

We build powerful tools that boost accountants' productivity, profitability, and impact-restoring their most valuable resource: time. With more time, they can focus on delivering outstanding value to their clients.

Accountants and bookkeepers are the backbone of every successful business. For over a decade, we've empowered them with innovative technology that drives performance and prepares them for the challenges of today and tomorrow.

We take pride in our strong work ethic and core values. Quality and balanced development are central to everything we do, guided by simplicity and pragmatism.

Architecture and stack

Our core systems are built with Ruby on Rails, ensuring reliability and scalability. Python powers our machine-learning initiatives. The stack includes a large-scale web application, several smaller services, and mobile apps for both Android and iOS.

Team, challenges and you

Our development team is primarily based in Bulgaria, with remote members in Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgas, Varna, and Ruse. Everyone chooses where they work best.

We keep things lean with Kanban boards and 10-minute daily stand-ups. Product owners provide thorough (sometimes overly detailed) specs. Code quality and best practices are a top priority—lessons learned from experience. Our leadership supports this approach and ensures we have the time to address technical debt when needed.

What we're looking for

We're looking for an experienced Java developer to design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance applications. In this role, you'll play a key part in ensuring the reliability, security, and efficiency of our software solutions. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams-including product managers, designers, and QA engineers, to deliver robust, high-quality products. Your expertise will help drive technical excellence, contribute to architectural decisions, and continuously improve our development practices.


What you'll do

  • Build and maintain reliable, high-quality Java applications
  • Take part in the full development cycle - from gathering requirements to design, coding, testing, and deployment
  • Improve application speed, scalability, and security
  • Work closely with developers, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver effective software solutions
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and fix bugs and technical issues follow best practices like code reviews, testing, and clear documentation
  • Stay current with new technologies and apply them when they add value



What competencies we do expect

Skills & Experience

  • Strong proficiency in Java
  • Hands-on experience with RESTful API design and development
  • Familiarity with front-end frameworks like React or Vue.js
  • Understanding of micro-services architecture and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS)
  • Experience with DevOps tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins
  • Solid debugging and problem-solving skills
  • Great communication and collaboration abilities


Knowledge & Background

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Understanding of relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and automation tools
  • Exposure to Agile methodologies and modern development best practices


What we’re looking for

We’re seeking a passionate developer who values clean, high-quality code and takes pride in doing things the right way. If you enjoy writing tests, crafting well-structured abstractions, and refining code until it’s just right, you’ll fit right in. We welcome experienced engineers who are curious, eager to learn, and ready to take on meaningful technical challenges. If this sounds like you, we’d love to connect!



Benefits

Here’s what you can enjoy as part of our team:

  • 26 days of paid time off – including a special day off for your birthday
  • Fully remote work – work from wherever suits you best
  • Flexible hours – shape your schedule around your life
  • Volunteer days – take time to give back to causes you care about
  • Personal learning budget – invest in your professional growth

View company profile

Dext, formerly known as Receipt Bank, embarked on its journey in 2010 with a clear mission: to simplify the financial administration that often bogs down business owners, accountants, and bookkeepers. The founders recognized the immense potential of technology to liberate professionals from tedious manual data entry, allowing them to dedicate their valuable time to strategic growth and client advisory. What began as a focused effort to automate receipt capture quickly blossomed into a comprehensive suite of tools designed to make accounting effortless. The company pioneered bookkeeping automation, leveraging the power of data, technology, and applied artificial intelligence to enhance productivity and efficiency for its users. This commitment to innovation and simplicity became the cornerstone of Dext's philosophy, enabling businesses and their financial advisors to make informed decisions with real-time insights.

Over the years, Dext has undergone significant transformation and global expansion. The initial AI-driven receipt capture tool, a flagship product, set the stage for a broader vision. Recognizing the evolving needs of the accounting industry, Dext expanded its offerings to include a range of industry-leading accounting products. This evolution was more than just an expansion of services; it was a deepening of Dext's commitment to empowering the people behind businesses. The company understood that while technology was advancing rapidly, the human element – the expertise of accountants and bookkeepers – remained irreplaceable. Dext positioned itself not as a replacement for these professionals, but as a powerful ally, providing them with the advanced tools needed to navigate the complexities of modern finance. This approach resonated deeply within the industry, addressing the common anxiety about technology rendering traditional roles obsolete and instead fostering a narrative of empowerment and collaboration. Today, Dext stands as a global leader, serving over a million users and partnering with thousands of accounting and bookkeeping firms worldwide, continually striving to make business better by powering the people who power it.
