Job Summary
They’re seeking to hire a Senior Java Developer with excellent all-around Java skills to join their Software Development team in the Romanian office. The successful candidate will take the lead in their Protect team. This is an opportunity for a Senior Developer looking to further their career and take on new challenges as the Tech Lead of a small team.
You’ll work closely with a business-focused Product Manager to help shape the technical roadmap for the product. You’ll apply Agile Sprint Development methodologies to regularly go live with new features and innovative solutions, finding ways to deliver faster by selecting the best technologies and frameworks available.
You’ll need good technical communication and problem-solving skills to help mentor other members of the team to overcome challenges and deliver to the same high standards as you set yourself. You’ll need to be capable of expressing your ideas and complex technical solutions in non-technical terms understandable to the Product Manager.

The role offers an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience across a vast range of AWS Cloud Services in use across their technology stack.
Their growth with its enterprise client base requires that they focus on ensuring their solution continues to meet the increasing load and performance demands on the system as they continue to scale. Delivering data processing solutions that work at scale is a common requirement, as is scaling out existing parts of the system.
They are constantly innovating and improving their data collection engines, finding ways to improve their accuracy, and expanding coverage.
Their technology is built in-house, architected as a high scale distributed data collection and processing engine running across multiple microservices (Spring MVC / Spring Boot) within the AWS cloud stack (EC2, S3, RDS, SQS, Solr/ElasticSearch, ElasticBeanstalk – and more), using many popular open-source Java frameworks.

- This is a varied role, and the successful candidate will become a key part of the company's software development team who will experience all aspects of the software development lifecycle (tech design, coding, testing, bug fixing, deployment).
