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 participate in the implementation, as well as in the definition of the work itself, and we expect you to share your opinion openly, both from the perspective of a user and as an engineer. 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), enabling teams across the world to build powerful features.
• You’re an experienced Java developer, or you’ve worked with similar object oriented languages.
• You’re used to working with big 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.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience writing enterprise-level code in one or more programming languages.
• You have strong learning skills; if you don’t know something, you’re willing (and capable) of learning it.
• Fully comfortable working in English and Spanish, both written and spoken. Some teammates will be in the Americas, Asia or Europe.
• Good communication skills. You can clearly explain complex technical subjects to other people.

Preferred Qualifications

• You have worked in API infrastructure before.
• Understand and share the values of agile development.
• You are open to write TypeScript for our frontend applications too (API Explorer and API Builder).
• It's a big plus if you’re a contributor to open source, hackathons, meetups or related to coding.

What We Offer

• Perks: Health Care Plan, food Card, kindergarten Assistance, Gym Membership and an additional perks of your own choice: Transport Card, Office Parking Space, Digital Voucher (800€ annually)
• English lessons (2 hours / week)
• Hybrid work model
• Continuous learning and training: internal and external courses, a technical library, participation in national and international conferences
• International, multicultural and diverse environment
• Working at a leading open source company
