Java Software Developer

We are looking for someone who is passionate about software development!

Full-time

As an experienced Java Software Developer, you have a wide range of opportunities. Do you look for a job with variation? One that challenges you? Do you go for a good employer? Perhaps work on a mission‑critical SaaS suite? Or maybe you want the freedom to pick up new tools and techniques along the way?

Or maybe you refuse to compromise and just want it all…

That, and more, is what Sqills can offer you. At Sqills we are looking for an experienced Java Software Developer who wants to work with the latest techniques and continue challenging themselves.

At Sqills, our team works with a modern JVM stack, primarily Java and Kotlin. We use Jet Brains IDEs such as Intelli

J IDEA, and for our CI/CD pipelines we use Git Lab.

We use Terraform, Cloud Development Kit and Kubernetes, among others, to manage the infrastructure within AWS. We build Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and we use a combination of traditional services, Lambda, and managed services such as Dynamo

DB, SQS, SNS, RDS, Amazon

MQ, Cloud Watch, Event Bridge and ELB.

We monitor services in production using New Relic, Sentry, Event Bridge, and Pager Duty. We have developed our proprietary management platform, created by our dedicated platform team, which is built on top of our operational and infrastructure services. This platform seamlessly integrates monitoring tools and provides visualisation of fully distributed traces. This functionality aids us in analysing errors within our microservice landscape.

Secure development, architecture, performance, and resiliency are the pillars of our development process. This ensures that our software will continue to meet and exceed expectations in the future.

• You will be part of one of the Agile Dev Ops teams. Teams consist of a combination of Developers, Testers and a Product Owner. As a team, you are responsible for the complete development and management cycle.

• Together you work on (backend) microservices in the AWS Cloud, written in Java and Kotlin. Because you work with software that handles hundreds of requests per second (high performance), your work continues to be challenging.

• Some of the things you are responsible for include:

  • Designing and implementing Java/Kotlin microservices for S3 Passenger;

  • Translating functionalities into software solutions and bridging the gap between desired functionality and technical solutions;

  • At Sqills we focus on quality. This is reflected in the ownership our team members have for their own microservices, but also in the fact that we have extensive requirements for developing components.

• Because our software offers the complete inventory, reservation and ticketing suite for our international customers, our focus on quality is especially important.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field (e.g. HBO ICT, Computer Science, Business Intelligence, Technical Management);

• Solid experience with Java and/or Kotlin;

• Experience with SaaS applications; experience with microservice architecture is a plus;

• Knowledge of AWS is a plus;

• Experience with the build / deploy pipeline;

• Passionate about the following concepts: serverless, monitoring, secure development, high performance and high availability;

• A curious approach to work — you are someone who enjoys sharing new knowledge;

• Good communication skills in English;

• Experience with JIRA; experience with Ascii Doc is a plus.

• Join an enthusiastic, diverse, and agile team of more than 240 colleagues worldwide;

• Enjoy a flat structure environment with high responsibility and the ability to make an impact;

• Work in an open, challenging environment with ambitious professionals from different backgrounds;

• Take advantage of exciting travel and growth opportunities within Sqills and the larger Siemens Mobility organisation;

• Participate in inspiring company outings with colleagues from North America, Europe, and beyond.
