About project:
We are looking for Backend Java Developers to join a project delivered for our international client operating in the sustainability and ESG domain. The client is a well-established global organization with a strong presence in Europe, supporting complex internal business operations through modern digital platforms and enterprise applications.
This role is a great opportunity to work on a live production application undergoing a major modernization and migration initiative. You will contribute to the migration of an existing internal application from legacy Python-based processing pipelines into the client’s standardized Java backend platform and enterprise architecture. The project is not greenfield and not pure maintenance — it combines modernization, migration, and continuous delivery within an active business environment.
You will be:
-
develop, maintain, and improve enterprise-grade backend applications using Java,
-
support the migration of existing Python-based backend logic and processing pipelines into modern Java services,
-
design, build, and maintain REST APIs and backend integrations supporting frontend applications and internal business processes,
-
contribute to microservices-based architecture and backend modernization initiatives,
-
collaborate with frontend engineers and internal customer teams to deliver scalable and maintainable solutions,
-
translate business and technical requirements into robust backend implementations,
-
ensure high code quality through code reviews, automated testing, debugging, and performance optimization,
-
create and maintain unit and integration tests for backend services and APIs,
-
participate in technical discussions related to architecture, scalability, reliability, and system integrations,
-
support continuous improvement of engineering standards, backend development practices, and delivery workflows.
Your profile:
- commercial experience as a Backend Java Developer in enterprise application environments,
- strong hands-on experience with Java as the primary backend technology,
- practical experience with Spring Boot and modern backend application development,
- good understanding of REST APIs and microservices architecture,
- experience working with backend integrations and distributed systems,
- experience with MSSQL or other relational database systems,
- strong understanding of unit testing and integration testing practices,
- experience working with CI/CD and delivery workflows, preferably using Azure DevOps,
- good understanding of software engineering best practices, maintainability, and clean code principles,
- experience with Git and standard software development workflows,
- strong communication and collaboration skills in international engineering environments,
-
practical experience using AI-powered assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to improve productivity, quality, or decision-making in software delivery,
-
work from the European Union region and a work permit are required.
Nice to have:
- experience migrating legacy backend systems into modern Java-based platforms,
- experience working in large enterprise or internal platform environments,
- knowledge of Python or Airflow-based processing environments,
- knowledge of containerized environments and backend deployment practices,
- experience with messaging systems, asynchronous processing, or event-driven architectures,
- exposure to sustainability, ESG, or data-processing related applications,
-
experience applying GenAI in a more structured way within the SDLC, including defined workflows, prompt patterns, or tool integrations embedded into daily work,
- interest in and familiarity with emerging AI-driven practices (e.g. agent-based workflows, automation patterns, AI-augmented development), with a willingness to explore and experiment beyond standard approaches.
