Descrição da oferta de emprego

Damia is a specialist tech recruitment agency in Portugal, focused on technology, product, and engineering roles. We work with funded scaleups, international companies building teams in Portugal, and established tech organisations scaling critical hires.

Our approach is consultative, not transactional. Every mandate runs through a structured methodology, from strategic discovery and talent mapping to curated shortlists and post-hire follow-up, led by senior recruiters who understand the market and the roles they recruit for.

We are part of the Triveris Group ecosystem alongside We Are META and Landing.Jobs, giving us reach across the full spectrum of tech talent in Portugal.

Damia handles direct hires on behalf of our clients.

Their mission is to increase clinical capacity so healthcare professionals can focus on what matters most – the patients. Healthcare teams are either stretched thin by work that can be automated or weighed down by waste that can be avoided. The company's intelligent automated platform uses hospital data and patient conversations to turn chaos into useful and efficient interactions.

How they work

They build conversational AI agents, intelligent clinical pathways, and care orchestration tools that empower clinicians to work at their full potential — deployed across leading hospitals in Europe, with 100K+ lives impacted and over 1 million clinical interactions mediated.

What you’ll do

Collaborate with the architect to design microservices:Work closely with the architect to understand product requirements and translate them into a technical solution using microservices architecture — defining service boundaries, APIs, data models, and communication protocols.
Develop and maintain microservices:Translate the designed architecture into well-written, clean, maintainable, and testable code using Java 17 and Spring Boot 3. Ensure services are performant, scalable, and secure.
Contribute to AWS cloud infrastructure:Participate in designing, deploying, and maintaining the AWS cloud infrastructure that supports the SaaS application.
Showcase implemented solutions:Communicate and demonstrate technical solutions during sprint reviews — presentations, demos, or documentation that explain design choices, functionality, and trade-offs.
Define and uphold coding conventions:Work with the team to establish and maintain clear, consistent coding standards — identifying areas for improvement and documenting agreed-upon practices.
Ownership mentality: You ship and maintain what you build.
Autonomous but collaborative:Capable of owning initiatives while working effectively with cross-functional teams (product, design, ops, etc.).
Product-focused:You care about the why as much as the how behind every feature.
