Java jobs in United Kingdom

We are looking for a Java Backend Developer (Hybrid based in Barcelona, Spain). If you consider yourself an awesome Java backend engineer with at least 5 years of experience, you are looking for new challenges, and you want to grow professionally and expand your career horizons, then we are looking for people like you.

We are looking for someone who has immediate availability to work with us. People who want to grow and stretch their limits. People with a "get things done and real" mindset. People who like to take responsibility.

Be part of a real agile team where decisions are taken by the team members. Decide how to get more and more efficient and effective together with your team. Collaborate with them to complete the development lifecycle of a new revolutionary feature and bring it to production. Celebrate the successes together and enjoy some drinks after work.

Get involved in the world of continuous delivery by using tools like Jenkins. Improve your development skills by resolving tough challenges. Get and give code reviews in BitBucket and check your code’s sanity using SonarQube and LINT. Take control of the evolution of your applications by using JIRA and its capabilities for development planning and project management. Stay alert to your application's health by using logs and metrics, ELK, and Grafana.

Our next step is evolving product operations. The platform infrastructure will move towards CaaS (Container as a Service), based on K8s, and to establish a DevOps model. If you like to take your first steps with cloud technologies or can already bring some experience with containers, pipelines, and public or private cloud operations to the table, then that will be a great fit. If you are eager to learn, that will also be fine. At Webfleet, we have started the migration to cloud infrastructure. There is a lot to do, a lot to learn, and a big topic to contribute to. Join our cloud professionals and shape the future of platform operations and infrastructure.
