Senior Software Engineer - Java / Microservices
Start date: ASAP
Contract type: B2B (145-170pln)
Work mode: 100% Remote
About the Team
You'll be joining a multidisciplinary team of senior engineers within a Consumer & Merchant domain, working on end-to-end parcel creation flows and some of the company's largest technical initiatives.
The team operates with high autonomy - engineers have real influence over architectural decisions and drive solutions from analysis all the way to production. The culture is built on knowledge sharing, mutual respect, and engineering excellence, with a genuinely friendly atmosphere.
Your Responsibilities
- Design and implement microservices following Hexagonal Architecture principles within a large-scale distributed system
- Drive topic analysis and requirement discovery - from business needs to solution architecture and delivery
- Build and maintain event-driven integrations using Kafka, Avro, and the Transactional Outbox pattern
- Write comprehensive automated tests: unit, integration, contract (Spock, Testcontainers, Spring Cloud Contract)
- Participate actively in code reviews and help raise the bar on code quality
- Work in a CI/CD environment: GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes + Helm (GitOps)
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code is the team standard) as a primary daily productivity tool - agentic, AI-first development is how this team operates
Language & Frameworks: Java 21, Spring Boot 3.x/4.x (MVC & WebFlux), Gradle
Databases: PostgreSQL (JPA/Hibernate, R2DBC), MongoDB
Messaging: Apache Kafka + Avro + Confluent Schema Registry
Patterns: Hexagonal Architecture, Microservices, Event-Driven Design, Transactional Outbox
Security: OAuth2 / JWT, Spring Security, OpenFGA
Testing: Spock Framework, Testcontainers, WireMock, REST-Assured, ArchUnit, PIT Mutation Testing
Infrastructure: GitLab CI, Docker, Kubernetes + Helm (GitOps)
Observability: Micrometer, Prometheus, SonarQube, Checkstyle
AI Tooling: Claude Code (mandatory) / GitHub Copilot / Cursor
What Makes This Role Challenging
- Complex distributed system - dozens of microservices with numerous communication channels; understanding the big picture is as important as writing good code
- Near-100% uptime requirement - business-critical systems where reliability and fault tolerance are non-negotiable
- High autonomy from day one - independently analyse topics, identify stakeholders, and deliver solutions end-to-end
- AI-first way of working - using Claude Code and agentic workflows to accelerate delivery is a core part of how the team operates, not a nice-to-have
