ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for two Lead Developers / Feature Team Leads to join our automotive client and support the development and evolution of enterprise and cloud-based applications.

The two positions have slightly different technical focuses:

Both roles require strong technical leadership, collaboration skills, and the ability to work effectively in an international environment.

• Collaborate closely with architects, developers, product stakeholders, and other technical teams.

• Help identify and resolve technical challenges, dependencies, and risks.

• Support the transition and evolution from legacy technologies towards modern, scalable solutions.

• Participate in the design and development of cloud-based services and applications, depending on the area of focus.

REQUIREMENTS

• Strong professional experience in Java software development.

• Experience in a Lead Developer, Technical Lead, or similar technical leadership role.

• Strong knowledge of Java/Quarkus and modern Java development practices.

• Experience with Angular and frontend development.

• For the cloud-focused position: strong practical experience with AWS and cloud-native application development.

• For the legacy-focused position: strong experience with legacy Java applications and GlassFish, combined with an understanding of modernizing legacy systems.

• Good understanding of software architecture, design patterns, APIs, and distributed applications.

• Experience with modern development practices, version control, testing, and CI/CD.

• Ability to balance hands-on development with technical leadership and team coordination.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

• Fluency in English.

• Ability to work effectively with an architect and development team in an international environment.

• Willingness and readiness to travel as required by project or client needs is expected. This may include occasional domestic or international travel, sometimes on short notice.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Salary range: €4000 - €6000 (GROSS) / month.
