Java Developer

🚀 PHP Java Developer Vacancy

📍 Location: Hoofddorp, The Netherlands

NOTE: Dutch is a necessity for this role

We are looking for a JAVA DEVELOPER for TECHSPIRE.

Working at Techspire:

At Techspire, we focus on delivering high-quality IT solutions. We don't see ourselves merely as programmers or developers—we are engineers at heart. Our approach goes beyond coding or development; we bring a full range of skills. Just like an engineer doesn't rely solely on a hammer, we use a comprehensive toolkit to seamlessly blend technology, business challenges, and the unique needs of our clients to create optimal solutions. Our strength lies in excelling across these three areas, combining technical expertise with the ability to engage deeply with our customers as trusted partners.

Who are you?

IT is a modern craft, and you are a true professional in the field. When your colleagues or friends are stuck, they turn to you for solutions. You don't just know how to use the tools—you understand how they work. You're not a purist, but you know how to strike the right balance between perfectionism and pragmatism.

While others stay behind their desks, you sit with your colleagues, including those who find IT challenging but essential. You listen to their needs, and together with your team, you create solutions that are elegant, efficient, and perfectly aligned with their goals. Technical dilemmas excite you—where others see obstacles, you already envision the solution.

You're fearless when it comes to learning new techniques and paradigms. You quickly grasp what your customers are doing and know how to add real value. As a consultant, you embody what every modern IT professional should be—technical, communicative, team player, and driven.

Beyond your profession, you are also someone who values life outside of work, carefully maintaining a healthy balance.

Requirements

• Completed at least HBO in a technical direction
• Fluency in Dutch and English
• At least 4 years of relevant and continuous work experience with Java
• You would like to see the inside of several companies and experience different corporate cultures (read: you don't mind secondment)
• Relevant experience with Java 17/Kotlin
• Demonstrable experience with Spring Framework
• Demonstrable experience with Spring Boot
• Microservices experience or JEE experience (e.g.: EJBs, JPA, JMS)
• Experience with Maven and/or Gradle
• GIT, CI/CD (Jenkins, Gitlab/Azure Devops)
• Web services with REST (bonus: SOAP or GraphQL
  
  
  

Benefits

At Techspire, we foster a culture where you can truly be yourself, and your personal goals are always considered. Instead of managers, we have coaches who inspire you to push beyond your comfort zone, knowing that's where real growth happens. We don't settle for routine—we embrace new challenges, both as a team and alongside our customers.

Stagnation comes from doing the same thing every day, and we're committed to helping you thrive in every aspect of your role. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, as we support and guide each other toward shared success. When you excel, we all succeed.

Career Opportunities

• At Techspire, we're dedicated to your career growth. You have the opportunity to advance in various directions—whether it's deepening your technical expertise to become a solution architect, tech lead, or even CTO, or focusing on leadership to become a team lead
• From the very start of your journey with us, we're interested in where you see yourself in five years, and we'll work together to help you get there. We'll create a plan that outlines the knowledge, roles, activities, and types of clients you'll need to grow. And if your goals change along the way? That's perfectly fine—we understand that life is full of changes
• But it doesn't stop there. As teams grow within Techspire, they can evolve into their own companies within the group. At that point, you could even become a partner or CTO, running the business with us, while we handle the back-office tasks like finance, operations, and legal, allowing you to focus on what you do best
  
  

Application process

If you're interested in joining us, we'd love to meet you. We don't conduct traditional interviews—that's too old-fashioned. Instead, we prefer to have an open conversation with our colleagues, discussing exciting technologies and what makes our work so enjoyable. If there's a connection on both sides, we'll move to the next step: a deeper conversation, not about technology, but about you.

We want to know who you are, your ambitions, and what truly motivates you. To guide this discussion, we'll ask you to complete an assessment, which will help us understand you better. Of course, we'll share the results with you, and they will form the basis of our conversation.

If we find a mutual fit, we'll be eager to make you an offer that makes you happy.
