About You and this Role

Backend Software Engineer, with strong Java (or similar) knowledge and experience. You will work both on maintaining existing components and creating new ones. You’ll also participate not only in the implementation, but also in the definition of the work itself, and we expect you to give your opinion openly, both from the perspective of a user and as an engineer. You may also need to mentor less experienced developers, and lead the development of some of the team stories and tasks.

You’ll work with widespread frameworks and tools (OSGi, Gradle, JAX-RS, REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI…) and some in-house technologies (like our custom REST Builder). We don’t expect you to know everything, but you need strong learning abilities to equip yourself with the necessary knowledge.

Key Objectives

• You are willing to work in API infrastructure (GraphQL and REST), allowing teams across the world to build powerful APIs. You are an experienced Java developer, or you’ve worked with similar object oriented languages.
• You’re used to working with large codebases, as well as developing components from scratch.
• You have experience with software engineering best practices : simplicity, testing, coherence, reviews, estimation…
• You possess a broad understanding of common Computer Science concepts (algorithms, data structures, performance…).
• You’re willing to actively participate in the team dynamics, and provide feedback both from the technical and end user perspective when defining new features.
