Technical Highlights
Add your value to a complex yet well-designed application (BigPicture), having over 100 modules and fully-fledged Domain-Driven Design (ubiquitous language, aggregates, domain events etc.).
Practice your craftsmanship in good design (clean code, SOLID, Inversion of Control) and in various architectures (hexagonal, event-driven, pipes&filters, modular monoliths, microservices and more).
Dive deep into a heavy backend stack built on Java and Spring, while utilizing AWS to scale our advanced cloud (SaaS) architecture serving thousands of tenants.
Work across the full stack by connecting robust backend services with modern frontend components using TypeScript, Angular, or React.
Build cutting-edge AI features, including AI chatbots, automated data quality systems, and dynamic reporting tools.
Supercharge your workflow using state-of-the-art AI tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and modern LLMs for code generation, refactoring, and architectural brainstorming.
Thoroughly test what you build: with unit, integration and e2e tests (Spock, JUnit, Mockito, AssertJ, REST Assured, WireMock, Testcontainers, Cypress).
Feel safe with our extensive CI process that automatically runs unit, integration, e2e, architecture, migration and performance tests on your commit.
