Lead Developer (all genders) | Java

Your responsibilities

• As a Lead Developer (all genders) | Java, you hold technical responsibility for the team of developers in your projects.
• You define technical and architectural concepts and identify the suitable tools, methods, and technologies to find solutions for technical challenges. You keep the tech stack up to date and always guarantee your high quality standards.
• You still like to write code yourself, but you also like to conceptualize your projects from the beginning and make technological decisions.
• You dig into a CMS and develop everything – from API connectivity to the entire frontend – up to the point where you can operate the stack. You build complex backend systems and connect existing systems with newly developed single page applications, e.g. for large IoT platforms.
• To do this, you use modern programming languages and frameworks such as Java, Kotlin, Spring, but also Python.
• You are a professional leader in your area of expertise and evaluate the latest technologies, share your knowledge with colleagues, mentor juniors, set priorities, develop goals and thus actively drive further development.
• You work in interdisciplinary teams and advise your colleagues and customers as a technical contact person on new projects, products, and features. You understand customer requirements and carry out feasibility analyses and cost estimates in order to create custom-tailored offers and bridge the gap between customers and technology.
• You thrive in an interface position due to your comprehensive project view and always keep the needs of all project colleagues in mind.
• In cooperation with the respective team leaders, you contribute to the strategic orientation of the technology.

• Enjoyment of customer contact; you can provide professional advice both internally as well as externally.
• Dreaming Java and Spring in your sleep.
• Knowledge of common build tools and confidence with GitLab CI.
• The ability to develop efficient code as well as a proficiency with modern web technologies and frameworks.
• Familiarity and routine use of today's IT security standards.

• A passion for clean code, clean architecture, and complex IT systems.
• You use agile processes and professional methodologies such as Continuous Integration, Test Automation, Unit Testing, TDD and Peer Reviews.
• Ideally, you have experience implementing DevOps and Cloud projects.
