Job description

Work on the mission-critical Java back end

At Schuberg Philis, we don’t just deliver IT solutions, we design, build, and run mission-critical systems that our customers rely on every single day. From infrastructure to cloud-native platforms, every layer of technology is crafted with one goal in mind: uncompromising reliability and excellence. We take pride in working shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers, ensuring their most vital operations run smoothly, no matter how complex the challenge.

We are looking for an experienced Java Software Engineer to work with one of our biggest banking customers, delivering business value using cloud technologies and a DevOps way of working.

As a Java software engineer, you will be responsible for the development of core business features for our customer and for improving its software delivery capabilities, working closely with internal stakeholders and other DevOps teams. You will work daily within a DevOps team where your colleagues will expect you to maintain a wide overview while guarding aspects like quality, security, and planning.

What you’ll do:

• Design, build and run Java-based micro-services and APIs that support business‑critical banking processes
• Work end-to-end: from clarifying requirements and refining user stories to development, testing, deployment and operations
• Collaborate closely with other DevOps teams, architects and business stakeholders to deliver secure, reliable and scalable solutions
• Contribute to improving engineering practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and automation
• Help the team keep production stable, with a strong focus on reliability, security, observability and incident prevention
• Stay up to date with modern engineering practices and bring in ideas to improve the platform and the way we work

Ideally, you have:

• Strong hands‑on Java experience (preferably Java 17+)
• Solid experience with Spring Boot
• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and system integrations
• Experience with Java‑based microservices in production
• A track record of writing testable, maintainable, high‑quality code
• Experience working in a professional development team (code reviews, CI/CD, etc.)
• We’re also open to engineers with a strong background in other languages (e.g. Kotlin, .NET, C++) plus at least ~3 years of recent, hands‑on Java experience.

What would be a great plus for us?

• You don’t need all of these. Having some of them – or strong interest and the ability to learn – is a plus:
• Experience with Kotlin or other JVM languages
• Knowledge of Authentication and Authorization protocols (OIDC / OAuth2, etc)
• Experience with DevOps practices and tools (preferably Azure DevOps)
• Experience with public cloud (AWS and/or Azure)
• Infrastructure as Code experience (e.g. Terraform)
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams

Everyone we work with and consider working with has a right to equal treatment. The hiring and appraisal process at Schuberg Philis is designed to be thorough and equitable, implementing fair payment, benefits, and opportunities across all demographics.

It is our desire to be a company that brings together multiple nationalities, cultures, religions, genders, abilities, and talents within and across our teams. We welcome colleagues from diverse backgrounds to join Schuberg Philis and actively support diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
