- You understand, analyze, define, develop, and fulfil quality requirements for planned functionalities in close cooperation with product owners, designers and the development team.
- You implement both frontend (Angular) and backend (Java Spring Boot) components, ensuring seamless integration and a consistent user experience. You participate in code reviews and uphold coding standards in close cooperation with the team.
- You design and implement technical concepts in modern microservice architecture and interact with RESTful APIs.
- You develop responsive UI components, integrate them with backend services, and ensure accessibility and performance.
- You write and maintain unit and integration tests to ensure high quality and prevent regressions.
- You deploy and test implementations across all environments using CI/CD pipelines and container technologies.

- Proficiency with SQL databases (preferably PostgreSQL) and basic data‑modelling skills.
- Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments (Docker; Kubernetes exposure is a plus).
- Experience writing unit and integration tests, using JUnit (backend) and common frontend testing frameworks (Jasmine/Karma or Jest).
- Familiarity with DevOps practices and tooling for build, deployment, monitoring, and operational support.
- Solid knowledge of Git‑based version control (Git, Bitbucket) and common branching / PR workflows.
- Comfortable working in agile teams (Scrum or Kanban) and using Agile tools such as JIRA, Confluence, or Azure DevOps.
- Strong analytical skills, quick comprehension, problem‑solving ability, and an open, collaborative teamwork mindset.
- Fluent English for effective communication across locations and time zones.
- Understanding of security best practices, identity/authorization concepts (OAuth2/OIDC), and secure coding principles.
