Backend Developer (Java / Kotlin / Spring)

About the position

Our long-standing client from Switzerland needs four Backend Developers. These positions will be responsible for the implementation of enterprise-grade software products. If you are looking for a long-term commitment and a new challenge, make sure you apply!

What will you do?

• Developing new exciting web products, interfaces, and integrations
• Building new features / APIs and enhancing existing ones
• Cooperating within an Agile Scrum team
• Learn how to write small features and deploy them

What’s the necessary experience level?

• 5+ years of experience in backend development in JDK based technologies
• Experience in software design and architecture
• 3+ years of experience in an enterprise-grade customer / product development set-up (or the ability to quickly adopt the skills necessary for designing, documenting, and hardening software for sustainable and maintainable products)

What about your skills?

• Get-the-work-done attitude
• Problem-solving skills
• Awareness for privacy and data security concerns of large international companies
• Sense for technology choices with respect to long term maintainability and scalability of the development work force (recent, but mature technologies rather than "latest and greatest" niche frameworks), in order to assure long-term maintainability of the code base
• "Coding-for-the-people" attitude—Readable code is a priority (keep in mind that others need to jump in easily as well in the future)

Would be a plus!

• Knowledge of JBoss Drools is a big plus
• Experience in DevOps (Kubernetes, Docker, etc.)
• Skills in Single Sign-On mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, SAML, etc.), preferable in combination with Spring Security
• Experience with OpenAPI

• Room to develop and express your creativity, inventiveness, and problem-solving skills
• A chance to work with (and learn) a vast variety of technologies, not just “bleeding-edge”, but also mature and widely used ones
• Collaboration with senior peer colleagues from diverse international and academic backgrounds that love to teach and learn
• A chance to take over the responsibility for certain processes (depending on your expertise and experience level)
• Make between 2,000-3,000 € per month
• Positive working atmosphere amongst competent, highly motivated, and open-minded colleagues
• Short decision paths and room for your own creativity
