Java Developer

Job Description

We are looking for someone who is passionate about developing high-performance Java applications!

Full-time Amersfoort

As an experienced Java Developer, you have a wide range of opportunities. Are you looking for a job with plenty of ways to challenge and improve yourself? Do you value working for a company that supports your professional development and offers working on a mission-critical SaaS suite?

Or maybe you refuse to compromise and just want it all

That, and more, is what Sqills offers you. At Sqills we are looking for Java Developers who want to work with the latest techniques and want to continue to challenge themselves.

Our approach

This position is for our LOPD team. This DevOps team works on the microservice that puts together the customer proposition to ensure they can travel from A to B with the best possible offer. This microservice is a high-performance backend application written in Java that is built on top of immutable data structures and in a very functional coding style. But the teams responsibility does not stop there. They also develop other applications in Java and are in charge of their own CI/CD development pipelines and other tooling that help support our daily responsibilities. In addition to Java, the team also codes in Kotlin and Go.

At Sqills teams have the freedom to spend time exploring new technologies that they can use to improve the performance of their microservices. LOPD makes sure to  do so continuously.

Sqills uses Terraform, Kubernetes, and a number of other tools to manage the infrastructure (Infrastructure as Code). Our infrastructure is a combination of traditional services, AWS Lambda, and managed services such as DynamoDB, RDS, AmazonMQ, CloudWatch, and ELB.

We monitor services in production using OpenTelemetry, New Relic, and PagerDuty. We also have a custom-built frontend that integrates these monitoring tools and visualises fully distributed traces to help us analyse errors in our microservice landscape.

Secure development, architecture, performance, and resiliency are the cornerstones common to the different teams. This ensures that our software will continue to meet and exceed expectations in the future.

We are always looking to improve our code, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and quality. We share all workloads within the team and try to make the best use of everyone's strengths. We love to share our knowledge and help each other achieve our goals.

Your key responsibilities

• Collaborating on software used to find and book seats for major international travel brands like Eurostar, Renfe, and SNCF.

• Optimising the processing of asynchronous requests for high-availability, high-performance components.

• Improving development pipelines or helping analyse new feature requests.

• Continuously refactoring code to improve its quality and performance.

Are you a match?

• Do you have what it takes to work on a mission critical Java microservice?

• Are you passionate about  refactoring code and making it shine?

• Do you enjoy  working in a team that welcomes new perspectives and is eager to hear your ideas?

• Do you get a warm feeling when thinking about learning a new programming language or technology?

• Are you proficient in  in Dutch and/or English and possess strong communication skills?

• Do you  thrive in a work hard and play hard culture with team outings, company events, VrijMiBo, BBL (Brown Bag Lunch), LPP (Loempia Pang Pang), FFF (Fat Frying Fridays) and more abbreviations you dont understand yet?

If this sounds like you, wed love to meet you!
