We require a Senior Back End Developer to join a project to rebuild a long standing on-prem system as a cloud-native application on Azure.
Stack
- Kotlin and Java 21 on Spring Boot. Kotlin preferred, strong Java engineers welcome if open to writing Kotlin.
- Azure
- PostgreSQL on the new side, SQL Server on the old, change data capture between them
- Managed message bus, event-driven throughout
The role
- Most senior backend person on a small team.
- You decide how the services are shaped and what everyone builds to.
- You work out how each area moves across from the old system without anyone noticing.
- Day to day you're alongside engineers who know the old system inside out.
What you'll need
- Proven capability with AI-assisted delivery. The vast majority of the code here is agent-written, so you need real experience of building this way and the seniority to direct it, review it properly and push back when it's wrong
- Substantial backend experience
- Real depth on the JVM with Spring Boot - Kotlin ideal, but strong Java with appetite to work in Kotlin works.
- Domain-driven design and messaging patterns
- PostgreSQL
- Kafka, Service Bus or Pub/Sub
- Shipped to a public cloud, Azure ideally
