## Job Description

Some heroes wear capes. Others write Java.

If you can tame legacy code, architect scalable systems, and know the difference between “it works” and “it’s production-ready,” then we need to talk.

We’re looking for a Senior Java Developer & Architect who’s ready to take on complex enterprise projects, influence technical direction, and build software that’s as elegant as it is powerful.

### Your Mission

- Transform complex business challenges into smart, scalable solutions.

- Build web and mobile applications that stand the test of time.

- Write clean, maintainable code your future teammates will thank you for.

- Lead architecture decisions and champion engineering best practices.

- Keep calm when production isn’t.

- Turn great ideas into even better software—one commit at a time.

### Your Tech Stack

If this list feels like home, you’re probably who we’re looking for:

- Java SE 8, 21 & 25

- Java EE 8

- EJB, JMS, JDBC & JNDI

- PostgreSQL

- Apache Kafka

- Docker

- Git

- Ubuntu

- JBoss Undertow

- GlassFish

### What You Bring

- 10+ years of software development experience.

- 10+ years working with SQL (PostgreSQL gets bonus points).

- 5+ years building robust Java applications.

- Enterprise architecture experience? We’d love to see it.

- A degree is a bonus—but exceptional skills and experience are what really count.
