Job description

We are seeking an experienced Software Architect with a strong hands-on engineering mindset and deep Java expertise, who will help shape and influence the technical direction of a large-scale microservices platform.

This is not a purely design-focused architecture role. It combines architecture design, hands-on Java development, and close collaboration with engineering teams and business stakeholders. We expect active involvement in implementation, code reviews, and technical decision-making.

You will be part of an international environment building modern digital services used by customers worldwide. You will work on a large-scale microservices platform, with real impact on technical decisions and the future evolution of the system.

💡 What You’ll Do:

  • Design and evolve microservices-based architecture in Java
  • Actively contribute to the development and implementation of new features
  • Define and promote technical standards and best practices across engineering teams
  • Lead architectural and technical discussions across projects
  • Conduct code reviews and ensure high code quality
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to clarify requirements and design optimal technical solutions
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and adoption of DevOps practices
  • Drive improvements in our cloud-native and containerized infrastructure
Requirements

🧠 What You Bring?

  • Several years of experience designing and developing enterprise Java applications
  • Strong knowledge of the Java ecosystem and Spring Boot framework
  • Hands-on experience with microservices architecture design and operations
  • Ability to combine architectural thinking with practical development work
  • Experience with Git workflows, including branching strategies and code review processes
  • Experience with CI/CD tools and delivery automation
  • Experience with Docker and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes or similar)
  • Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
  • Ability to communicate technical topics clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
  • Strong understanding of design patterns and modern architectural principles

⭐ Nice to have:

  • Experience with Content Delivery Networks (CDN), ideally Akamai
  • Experience in large-scale, customer-facing web platforms
Benefits

🎁 What We Offer?

  • 5 weeks of vacation + 6 sick days, and additional days off for long-term cooperation
  • Annual bonus of up to 20% of gross annual salary
  • Flexible working hours and hybrid model (3 days home office per week)
  • Company car for private use or car allowance
  • Multisport card and other leisure benefits
  • Meal allowance and additional benefits via Edenred system
  • Pension and life insurance contributions
  • Support for professional development, including training and certifications
  • Work on international projects using modern technologies
  • Option to purchase company shares under favorable conditions
  • Rewards for work anniversaries and long-term cooperation
  • Company events, health & wellbeing activities, and other employee benefits
