As a Java Developer...
You are the craftsman behind our most robust backend applications! Within our passionate technical teams, your mission is to design and develop custom, high-performance, and scalable solutions based on the Java ecosystem. On a daily basis, you will:
* Design and develop high-performance web applications and backend microservices using Java and the Spring Boot framework.
* Create and integrate secure RESTful APIs to seamlessly connect our various platforms and services.
* Guarantee code quality by writing unit and integration tests, and actively participating in peer Code Reviews.
* Optimize application performance and handle complex modeling and queries for databases (SQL and/or NoSQL).
* Deploy solutions following DevOps and CI/CD best practices (Docker, GitLab CI).
* Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (Scrum) and collaborate closely with architects, Product Owners, and front-end developers.
Your profile
Holding a degree in IT or computer science, you have at least 3 years of successful experience in Java backend development, ideally within a digital agency or IT services environment.
* You have a perfect mastery of Java (recent versions) and its flagship ecosystem, particularly the Spring framework (Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data).
* You are comfortable with modern software architecture principles (microservices, event-driven architectures) and version control with Git.
* You have a strong Clean Code culture, rigorously apply SOLID principles, and are convinced of the absolute importance of automated testing.
* Endowed with a true team spirit, you enjoy sharing your technical knowledge, mentoring junior developers, and learning from the community.
* Your technological curiosity, autonomy, and desire to push the boundaries of open source make you the ideal candidate. Fluency in English (French or Dutch is a great asset in Brussels) is essential to collaborate effectively.
