Senior Java Software Developer (m/f/d)

About the Job

Are you a passionate Java developer looking to modernize critical systems and make a real impact? Join our growing hub in Spain at Allianz Technology and help us drive innovative solutions for the KLS (Kollektivleben System), our end-to-end industry solution for the Swiss Group Life business (BVG). In this role, you will be a senior Java engineer who thinks end-to-end — bridging stable core systems with modern cloud-native innovation, collaborating with global colleagues, and shaping the direction and culture of a new team.

What you'll do

• Analyze and assess Java-based software development tasks and complex requirements according to project specifications, contributing to the modernization of current systems and gateways.
• Develop and implement software requirements and interfaces within the KLS environment using Java 12 to 21 (occasionally older Java versions), and JBoss / Spring Boot.
• Drive the transition of legacy Java systems to modern cloud services and develop new insurance products for the B2B/B2C sectors, leveraging the latest features of the Java ecosystem.
• Optimize platform processes through automation and AI-driven solutions, actively using AI tools to boost your own productivity and foster innovation within the team.
• Implement thorough unit tests using JUnit and write clean, disciplined Java code that adheres to high application standards and agile practices.
• Collaborate closely with business teams to co-create solutions that directly address organizational needs, working alongside Solution Designers and Product Owners in a two-week agile sprint framework.

What you'll bring

• Willingness to develop knowledge about the Allianz Suisse-specific group life model and its foundation; experience in group life insurance business is a plus.
• Around 5 years of professional experience in Java development, software design, and technical implementation with excellent proficiency in Java 12 to 21 (occasionally older Java versions), Spring Boot/JBoss, REST APIs, and unit testing frameworks (JUnit).
• Practical experience or strong familiarity with modern technologies such as Kafka, Camunda, or Azure cloud services are strong pluses.
• Daily proficiency with Java developer tools including Eclipse/IntelliJ, JIRA, DBeaver, and Github. General familiarity with DevOps practices, such as CI/CD pipelines (Maven, Jenkins), Git workflows, and containerization using Docker.
• Fluent English, written and spoken, is a must, along with comfort working in fully English-speaking environments; a highly motivated, independent problem-solver and proactive communicator who embraces collaboration across international teams.
• Familiarity with AI and machine learning tools and a genuine interest in applying them to optimize Java development workflows and business processes.

What we offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
• From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
• Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
