Senior Java Backend Engineer - Remote & Ownership

My client blends deep engineering execution with a relentless focus on software quality and performance. They work as an embedded technical partner rather than a detached advisory firm, building high impact systems alongside their customers.

This is a role for engineers who want real ownership, strong technical influence, and the chance to shape modern backend architecture end to end.

What you will do

• Build and own high quality backend services using modern Java and Spring Boot

• Take full responsibility for delivery, performance, and long term maintainability

• Contribute actively to architecture discussions and technical decision making

• Work closely with teams as a trusted engineering partner, not just a consultant

Must have skills

• Strong Java experience, ideally Java 21 or above

• Solid database knowledge and experience working with complex data driven systems

• Positive mindset, proactive collaboration, and end to end ownership of services

Nice to have

• Event driven microservices experience, Kafka is a bonus

• CI/CD knowledge, Dev Ops or tooling experience is a plus

What senior means here

Senior engineers in this team are deeply involved in architecture, take full ownership of the services they build, contribute meaningfully in technical discussions, and maintain a mindset of continuous learning and improvement.

• Remote first, with Nürnberg as the team hub

If you want a role where engineering quality, autonomy, and technical depth are genuinely valued, this is an excellent opportunity.
