Senior Java Developer

Overview:

Ready to put your Java skills to work on exciting projects? We're looking for a Senior Java Developer to join our team. You'll use your expertise in Java, Spring Framework, and Hibernate to build great software that makes a real difference. We're a group of friendly developers who enjoy solving tough problems together. You'll play a big part in our projects, sharing your ideas and helping make our code the best it can be. If you love Java and might be interested in trying out Kotlin down the road, we'd be thrilled to meet you. Come grow with us in a supportive environment where your contributions really matter.

Strong Java, Spring expertise are essential, along with a willingness to embrace Kotlin. We're already using Kotlin for new projects, and we're committed to supporting your growth. You'll be given time to ramp up with Kotlin while working on existing Java codebases, with the goal of becoming comfortable with both languages.
