Role Details  

We are looking for a high-level Java Specialist to lead the development of our backend systems on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The ideal candidate is a master of the Java ecosystem, capable of building high-performance services and automating their deployment via modern CI/CD practices. While you will handle database setup and data modeling, your primary focus will be on core Java logic, system architecture, and infrastructure automation.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer (m/f/d) your key responsibilities will be:

• Lead the design and implementation of high‑performance, multi‑threaded backend services using Java 17/21+ and the Spring Boot ecosystem, ensuring architectural quality, scalability, and low‑latency operation.
• Architect, deploy, and operate cloud‑native solutions on GCP leveraging GKE (Kubernetes), Cloud Run, and Pub/Sub to deliver reliable, event‑driven, and scalable environments.
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI) to fully automate testing, integration, and production deployments for safe and frequent releases.
• Design efficient data models and storage solutions across relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases, including optimized SQL/NoSQL queries, indexing strategies, and schema design.
• Develop tooling and automation using Python to support internal workflows, improve developer productivity, and streamline data processing or operational tasks.

We are looking for 

• Degree in Computer Science or a related field, with 15+ years of backend-heavy experience.
• Deep expertise in JVM internals, multithreading, Streams API, and design patterns (SOLID).
• Proven experience with Google Cloud infrastructure and cloud-native services.
• Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Working knowledge for backend support, automation, or scripting.
