Software Engineer - Java
Key Skills
Job Description
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 Java 17+)
- Solid experience with Spring Boot
- Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and system integrations
- 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.)
- We’re also open to engineers with a strong background in other languages (e.g. Kotlin, .NET, C++) plus at least ~3 years of recent, hands-on Java experience.
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
- Knowledge of Authentication and Authorization protocols (OIDC / OAuth2, etc)
- Experience with DevOps practices and tools (preferably Azure DevOps)
- Experience with public cloud (AWS and/or Azure)
- Infrastructure as Code experience (e.g. Terraform)
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams
Everyone we work with and consider working with has a right to equal treatment. The hiring and appraisal process at Schuberg Philis is designed to be thorough and equitable, implementing fair payment, benefits, and opportunities across all demographics.
It is our desire to be a company that brings together multiple nationalities, cultures, religions, genders, abilities, and talents within and across our teams. We welcome colleagues from diverse backgrounds to join Schuberg Philis and actively support diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.
Core Responsibilities
You will design, build, and maintain Java-based microservices and APIs to support mission-critical banking processes. Additionally, you will collaborate with DevOps teams to improve engineering practices, including CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and system reliability.
Requirements
The role requires strong hands-on experience with Java (preferably 17+) and Spring Boot, along with experience in building RESTful APIs. Candidates should have a track record of writing maintainable code and working within professional DevOps-oriented development teams.
About Schuberg Philis
Industry: Information Technology & Services
Company size: 201-500 employees
Some systems just have to work. They keep power grids stable, logistics moving, payments flowing, and vital public services online. You don’t hear much about them when they work, but when they stop, the impact is immediate, visible, and far-reaching. That’s exactly the kind of work we do. We design, build, and run IT systems that must be reliable, secure, and uncompromising because people depend on them every single day. We call it mission-critical IT. At Schuberg Philis, we go beyond traditional IT services by delivering promised outcomes, not just projects. Our Plan-Build-Run model means the same team takes ownership from start to finish: no handoffs, no middlemen. It’s how we’ve made 100% customer satisfaction not a goal, but a requirement. And it’s why 99.9% of our projects are delivered on time and on budget, helping customers realize solutions that are better, cheaper, and faster. Our engineers bring deep expertise in cloud, data & AI, software, and security, not as abstract offerings, but as the means to solve business-critical challenges. Whether it’s banks handling millions of transactions, logistics firms keeping supply chains running, or energy providers maintaining grid stability, customers trust us when failure is not an option. What sets us apart? - We engineer outcomes, not just deliver technology. - Our autonomous teams carry end-to-end responsibility. - We focus on long-term resilience and impact. This approach has made us the #1 ranked IT company in the Netherlands, according to Whitelane Research. Since 2000, we’ve built enduring partnerships across vital industries, delivering secure, scalable, and seamless solutions that keep society moving. We’re expanding across Europe with one clear mission: to be more than an IT provider. We’re a partner who understands your business inside out, and who is fully invested in your success.
