The role involves leading technical initiatives and coaching other developers while contributing to building an architecture where frontend, BFF, and backend services are interconnected in a scalable and sustainable manner. You will work in a scaled agile environment, where multiple teams collaborate to deliver the whole.

The role involves:

• Leading the design and development of complex backend solutions in Java/Spring Boot.
• Building and further developing APIs and microservices with a focus on performance, security, and availability.
• Creating and enhancing a robust architecture that connects frontend, BFF, and backend services, with clear interfaces and scalability in focus.
• Coaching, supporting, and inspiring colleagues to elevate the team's technical level.
• Ensuring stable operations through monitoring and incident management.
• Driving improvements in architecture, code quality, and methodology.
• Contributing to technical strategy and coordination between teams.
• Actively participating and collaborating cross-functionally in a scaled agile environment.

We would like you to have:

• Relevant academic education at the college or university level (or equivalent experience).
• Experience in designing and building architecture that connects front-end, BFF, and backend services.
• Development and architecture: Java, Spring Boot, API development, relational databases.
