Senior Backend Java Developer (remote)

Job Purpose and Overview

We are looking for experienced Java developers to join our product team for BigPicture – one of the leading project management tools used by CEOs, directors, project managers and team leaders of over 12 000 companies worldwide.

How we work:

• 100% remote work (from Poland) - however, it is always open if you want to work from our modern Warsaw office
• In agile and lean we trust - we keep our Sprints effective, and our Scrum teams small and decisive in practices that suit them best
• Ownership - we want everyone on our team to feel empowered to grab the reins in their positions and help push the company forward
• Daily communication with our product owners and UX / UI researchers and designers - who make informed business decisions based on continuous users behaviour monitoring
• Short time to market - we have major feature release every month
• Startup atmosphere with direct informal communication with everyone at the company and with elastic working hours - all to keep you comfortable and simply happy to be with us - get to know the BigPicture team better here and here

What You Will Do

• Designing and implementing new functionalities for our products and maintaining existing ones
• Ensuring high code quality - through tests (unit, integration, e2e), code reviews and team brainstorming
• Working on features with product owners, UX / UI designers and frontend developers
• Sharing knowledge with other developers and helping them grow
• Technically supporting our customers (5-10% of your time)

Technical highlights:

• Add your value to complex yet well-designed application, having over 100 modules and fully-fledged Domain-Driven Design (ubiquitous language, aggregates, domain events etc.)
• Practice your craftsmanship in good design (clean code, SOLID, Inversion of Control) and in various architectures (hexagonal, event-driven, pipes&filters, modular monoliths, microservices and more)
• Thoroughly test what you build: with unit, integration and e2e tests (Spock, JUnit, Mockito, AssertJ, REST Assured, WireMock, Testcontainers, Cypress)
• Learn our advanced cloud (SaaS) architecture: serving thousands of tenants (multitenant architecture), continuously monitored and profiled (ELK, async-profiler), and with state of the art release process (feature flags, canary releases). We use AWS and GCP. Help us advance our cloud architecture further
• Practice other cool approaches and tools like reactive programming, Event Sourcing, Apache Kafka or Redis
• Feel safe with our extensive CI process that automatically runs unit, integration, e2e, architecture, migration and performance tests on your commits
• And for all of you frontend lovers out there: it’s worth knowing that this is one of the largest and most ambitious Angular projects in Poland

What We Would Like to See

• Practical knowledge of design principles, design patterns and architectures - what problems they solve (& what introduce), how to implement them - see our take on DIP, DI and IoC (Javeloper), plus some of our OOP best practices (GeeCon)
• The inherent need for tidiness in the code - on module, package, class and method levels (both in production and test code) - see our approach to modularity (JDD)
• Experience in designing legible, sustainable and expandable solutions
• Established knowledge of Java, Spring, Hibernate / JPA, SQL DBs and REST
• Proficiency in your favourite IDE, in Git, Maven, Docker, Spock, JUnit, Mockito
• High problem-solving skills and hands-on approach (being eager to brainstorm, experiment and learn from mistakes)
• Willingness and determination for self-development and further education
• Good English skills (B2 or higher)

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of object-oriented programming, recently known as Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
• Established knowledge of the architecture of complex web solutions, ideally including cloud (SaaS) solutions - see how our on premise and cloud products are designed (Confitura)
• Experience in robust systems integrations: caching, concurrency & reactiveness, throttling, authorisation
• Practice in monitoring, profiling and optimising production systems
• Leadership skills: focus on efficient teamwork, mentoring & knowledge sharing, ensuring good atmosphere

How we will help you grow:

• Free access to 2 e-learning platforms
• Internal tech guilds that meet on a weekly basis for knowledge sharing
• Regular, internal, one-week long, fully-paid hackathons - to give you a chance to play with what currently drives you most
• Possibility to engage in mentor-mentee relationship with whoever other developer you find valuable to learn from
• Personal competency matrix to help you plan your growth path and then navigate through it
• Availability to take part in tech events sponsored by us – like Confitura, Devoxx, or Code Europe

What We Offer

• Salary (employment contract, UoP): 17 000 - 24 500 PLN gross/month
• Possibility to apply for 50% tax deductible costs on creative works (AKUP/IP tax-deductible costs)
• Indefinite employment contract from day one, no trial periods
• Every Appfire employee is eligible for company equity
• 26 paid days off, regardless of years of experience
• Wellness days – additional time-off each month to recharge and take care of yourself (1 day per month)
