— solution-oriented mindset;
— excellent communication skills;
— Upper-Intermediate English level (oral, written);

The Role
As a Java developer, you build and maintain the glue between touchpoints (websites, in-store kiosks, device touchscreen, apps, etc.) and cloud-native solutions. These can be third-party API-based SaaS/PaaS solutions of partners that you configure and extend, but also (micro)services and applications that you yourself build using public cloud services.
Occasionally you would even take the whole stack into your hands and create end-to-end solutions together with a team of colleagues working in different disciplines, ranging from cloud engineers (infra) to UI developers and from Business Analysts to Quality Assurance Engineers. Solutions involve integrations with frontends, third-party API’s like Payment and back-office systems, which act as systems of record for business-critical data.
All of this, you do within the context of MACH architectures (Microservices, API-first, Headless, and Cloud-Native) leveraging SaaS and FaaS platforms like Commercetools, Contentstack, Contentful, Vue Storefront, and Fantastic.
You have a keen eye for performance, stability, and traceability in everything you do and seek only the highest quality in code. Besides that, you don’t scare away easily from maintaining and running your own applications on a day-to-day basis, being responsible for (infra-as-code) deployments, and aligning with the cloud engineering team to get stuff done when responsibilities cross into their territory. You are a self-starter and can work both in larger-scale teams as well as individually.
As a consultant, you are expected to develop expertise both in technology and in communicating complex concepts and rationale to non-techies. We’ll encourage and support this with frequent opportunities to share ideas internally. We also have consultants frequently deliver at regional, national and global conferences.
