• Make well-informed technical decisions that balance performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
• Design and deliver clean, optimized, and production-ready solutions.
• Drive projects forward independently — identify blockers, propose solutions, and follow through without waiting to be directed.
• Contribute actively to technical discussions, architecture reviews, and a culture of continuous improvement.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, taking responsibility not just for your code, but for the overall success of the product.

• 2–3+ years of professional Java development experience, with a strong focus on clean, maintainable code.
• Solid proficiency with the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring MVC).
• Strong command of Git, and build tools such as Maven or Gradle.
• Proven experience designing and consuming RESTful and SOAP APIs, both synchronous and asynchronous.
• Hands-on experience with microservices architecture and Docker.
• Familiarity with both relational and document-oriented databases.
• Good understanding of event-driven architecture and common software design patterns.
• Practical knowledge of DevOps methodologies and practices, including:
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipeline automation
• ArgoCD for GitOps-based continuous delivery
• Container orchestration with Kubernetes
• Log management and search with Elastic (ELK Stack)
• Metrics collection and alerting with Prometheus
• Monitoring and observability dashboards with Grafana
• Commitment to code quality through unit testing and constructive code reviews.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Upper-intermediate English or above (written and spoken).
  

• Competitive salary starting from €5,000 gross/month, with a final offer based on experience and skill set.
• Private health insurance (activated from end of trial period).
• Flexible working arrangements.
• Generous time-off policy including: birthday day off, tenure-based additional leave, paid self-learning days, and an annual personal trust day.
• A strong recognition culture — individual and team awards, prizes, and company-sponsored trips.
• Life milestone support: branded birthday gifts, financial support for weddings and newborns, compassionate leave and financial assistance during difficult times.
• Biannual company events and team activities.
