• Problem Solving and Innovation: Investigate complex technical and business challenges, proactively identify solutions, and contribute to the continuous improvement of development practices, products, and client outcomes.

Requirements

• Backbase Experience: At least 2 years of hands‑on commercial experience integrating, extending, or implementing the Backbase Digital Banking Platform in production environments, with the ability to describe a commercial project and your personal contributions.
• Java and Spring: At least 5 years of production‑level experience with Java, Spring, and related extensions such as Spring MVC, Spring Boot, and Spring Security.
• Backend Technologies: Strong experience with SOAP and RESTful web services, XML, JSON, RAML, microservices architectures, and enterprise integration patterns, including frameworks such as Apache Camel.
• Distributed and Cloud Systems: Experience developing large‑scale distributed systems and working with SaaS platforms or service‑oriented architectures, together with cloud and container technologies such as AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, or Kubernetes.
• Testing and Engineering Practices: Experience with JUnit‑based unit testing, Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration, and source control technologies such as Git and Subversion.
• Application Infrastructure: Familiarity with enterprise application servers such as Tomcat, WebSphere, WebLogic, or JBoss, as well as systems and applications that manage sensitive information.
• Industry and Professional Services Experience: Background in financial services or professional services, with experience working in an agency or consulting environment where client interaction and consultative delivery are important.
• Technical Education: A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or a related field is required.
• Communication and Collaboration: Strong analytical, problem‑solving, teamwork, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, participate in peer code reviews, and collaborate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Professional Mindset: A proactive, engaged, adaptable approach to work, combined with a passion for technology, a commitment to clean and maintainable code, and the ability to learn new technologies and concepts quickly.
