  • Strengthen product performance and client satisfaction through proactive troubleshooting, continuous improvement and the resolution of complex technical challenges that impact business success.

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years of experience developing Java-based software solutions, with demonstrated success delivering scalable, production-grade applications in enterprise environments.
  • Strong expertise in Spring Boot, RESTful APIs and modern web technologies, including HTML, CSS and JavaScript or TypeScript.
  • Proven ability to solve complex technical problems, diagnose issues effectively and deliver high-quality solutions that balance business needs with technical excellence.
  • Experience collaborating within Agile Scrum teams, contributing to shared goals while taking ownership of individual outcomes and deliverables.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to build productive relationships across engineering, quality assurance and business teams.

It's a bonus if you have
