Software Engineer - Java

Location: Schiphol-Rijk, North Holland, Netherlands

Department: Technology

Work on the mission-critical Java back end

At Schuberg Philis, we don’t just deliver IT solutions, we design, build, and run mission-critical systems that our customers rely on every single day. From infrastructure to cloud-native platforms, every layer of technology is crafted with one goal in mind: uncompromising reliability and excellence. We take pride in working shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers, ensuring their most vital operations run smoothly, no matter how complex the challenge.

We are looking for an experienced Java Software Engineer to work with one of our biggest banking customers, delivering business value using cloud technologies and a DevOps way of working.

As a Java software engineer, you will be responsible for the development of core business features for our customer and for improving its software delivery capabilities, working closely with internal stakeholders and other DevOps teams. You will work daily within a DevOps team where your colleagues will expect you to maintain a wide overview while guarding aspects like quality, security, and planning.

What you’ll do:

• Design, build and run Java-based micro-services and APIs that support business‑critical banking processes
• Work end-to-end: from clarifying requirements and refining user stories to development, testing, deployment and operations
• Collaborate closely with other DevOps teams, architects and business stakeholders to deliver secure, reliable and scalable solutions
• Contribute to improving engineering practices: code quality, testing, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and automation
• Help the team keep production stable, with a strong focus on reliability, security, observability and incident prevention
• Stay up to date with modern engineering practices and bring in ideas to improve the platform and the way we work

Ideally, you have:

• Strong hands-on Java experience (preferably 6+ years)
• Solid experience with Spring Boot
• Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and system integrations
• Experience with authentication/authorization standards (OAuth2, OIDC)
• Experience with public cloud (AWS and/or Azure)
• Experience with Java-based microservices in production
• A track record of writing testable, maintainable, high-quality code
• Experience working in a professional development team (code reviews, CI/CD, etc.)

What would be a great plus for us? 

• You don’t need all of these. Having some of them – or strong interest and the ability to learn – is a plus:
• Experience with Kotlin or other JVM languages
• Experience with DevOps practices and tools (preferably Azure DevOps)
• Infrastructure as Code experience (e.g. Terraform)
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams
