Senior Java Back-end developer

The opportunity

The role can also be offered on a fully remote basis, if needed.

As a member of the Risk Technology Services technical team, you'll go beyond writing high-quality code – you will engage actively in architectural discussions, contribute to technical decisions, and take genuine end-to-end ownership of what you ship. From service design and API development to cloud infrastructure and delivery pipelines, you'll bring strong engineering fundamentals and a platform mindset to a team that builds and operates software together. We're looking for someone who is hands-on, collaborative, and makes the people around them better simply by doing great work.

Day-to-day responsibilities

• Work closely with a cross functional team on the delivery of new features and services; setting the standard and technical direction for Risk tech service.
• Own architecture and design decisions: service boundaries, APIs, cross-service contracts, and data models - balancing simplicity, reliability, security, and maintainability.
• Design database schemas and manage evolution through versioned migrations.
• Design and build RESTful APIs and asynchronous/event-driven integrations between services.
• Apply resilience patterns (retries, idempotency, circuit breakers) and champion test-driven development with strong coverage.
• Own delivery: contribute to CI/CD pipelines, containerization, cloud infrastructure, and observability.
• Diagnose complex issues across services and infrastructure; lead incident investigation and resolution.
• Run and participate in code reviews; mentor mid-level and junior developers.
• Establish and uphold coding standards, security practices, and design principles across the team.

Who are we looking for

• 4+ years of professional Java development experience
• Experience with modern Java (latest LTS) and a mindset of keeping up with the newest stable language features and tooling.
• Proficiency in Java and object-oriented (and ideally functional) programming principles.
• Strong experience with Spring Boot and the Spring ecosystem, including Spring Security / OAuth2.
• Solid SQL and relational database experience (e.g. PostgreSQL), including schema design and query optimization.
• Experience with a schema migration / database versioning tool (e.g. Flyway, Liquibase).
• Proven experience designing and building RESTful APIs and integrating distributed services.
• Experience with containers (e.g. Docker) and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI)
• Strong experience with automated testing - unit and integration (e.g. JUnit, Testcontainers).
• Solid grasp of software architecture and design patterns (e.g. clean/hexagonal architecture, DDD).
• Solid Understanding of secure coding, resilience, and observability in production systems.
• Confident use of Git and modern branching/merging workflows.
