You will have high standards for excellence, demonstrating best practices and guiding the team in technical execution.

Your skills and experience

• Extensive knowledge of Oracle PL/SQL, Java, Spring
• Exposure to front-end technologies such as JavaScript and test automation using Cucumber or similar
• Experienced developer in complex, business-facing applications
• Ability to deal with a monolithic application and help to develop a vision on how to decouple it gradually rather than rewriting the application from scratch

How we’ll support you

• Training and development to help you excel in your career
• Coaching and support from experts in your team
