Senior Software Engineer, Java

The role 

What you will do 

• Develop secure, reliable, and maintainable solutions for authentication, authorization, and session-related flows in a business-critical domain.
• Design and evolve backend solutions that meet both business and technical requirements, while proactively identifying risks and improvement opportunities related to security, reliability, and performance.
• Contribute to a high engineering bar through clean design, code reviews, testing, and pragmatic engineering practices.
• Take ownership from design to production: break down work, drive delivery, and support operational stability in production.
• Proactively improve quality by catching issues early through automation, validation, and shift-left testing practices.
• Make sound technical decisions and align effectively with teammates and stakeholders across product, architecture, and security.

Your experience 

• Strong experience building and evolving production-grade backend systems in Java.
• Solid experience with the Spring ecosystem, ideally Spring Boot, and designing APIs and service integrations in complex environments.
• Experience working with distributed systems and event-driven architecture, ideally with Kafka and/or Solace.
• Solid understanding of authentication and authorization concepts, including sessions, tokens, redirects, cookies, access control, and common implementation pitfalls.
• Knowledge of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect is a strong advantage.
• Strong secure development mindset, with the ability to identify risks, think through abuse cases, and apply secure-by-default principles in design and implementation.
• Good understanding of common application security practices such as OWASP principles, dependency/security scanning, and safe handling of sensitive data and PII.
• Experience with testing strategies such as integration testing, contract testing, and test automation.
• Comfortable reviewing code, giving and receiving feedback, and maintaining a high quality bar.
• Able to break down requirements and technical designs into clear deliverables, and sequence work in a way that reduces delivery and operational risk.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to represent the team clearly in technical and stakeholder discussions.
• Experience with production support, monitoring, incident handling, and driving improvements after incidents.
• Experience using CI/CD pipelines and engineering tools to improve code quality, security, and delivery confidence.
• Experience working with relational databases.
• Experience with performance testing and performance-aware design is an advantage.
