We're looking for a senior Java backend engineer who's comfortable owning technical decisions and shaping how a system evolves.

You'll be working on the Healthcare Information Portal – a digital platform which healthcare providers use to collect and manage patient data and do invoicing. It is a complex domain where engineers own specific components, collaborate closely across the full system and where your design choices have a lasting impact. This is not a ticket-execution role.

• Technical design of new features and services (end-to-end) in collaboration with the Architecture Team and other Software Engineers
• Refine and estimate use cases in close collaboration with Business Analysts and the Product Owner
• Implement domain and cross-cutting services
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring – raising the team's overall capability
• Contribute to technology and tooling decisions for new solutions

• 7+ years of hands-on backend experience with Java and Spring Boot in production environments
• Strong grasp of software design: you have opinions about architecture and can articulate them clearly
• Comfortable with evolving systems – you can navigate ambiguity, challenge assumptions and adapt as requirements shift
• Solid understanding of REST API design and distributed systems patterns
• Experience with messaging and event-driven architectures
• Proactive communicator within the engineering team - you share knowledge and contribute to collective technical growth (we hold regular tech sessions)
• Kubernetes and container orchestration experience – you understand the deployment side and take end-to-end responsibility of what you build
• Fluent in English, German or French is a plus

Java 25, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Postgre

SQL, Rabbit

MQ, Kubernetes, Gradle.

• 40h / week
• 2 days home office per week
• Multicultural team
• Free parking
• Language trainings

A stimulating environment helps to find cool solutions to challenging complex requirements. We work in small agile teams where you can have impact and influence. You will find sharp engineers to have inspiring discussions with. We are solution-driven, but we don’t neglect the fun factor.

We look forward to receiving your application by e-mail!
