As a Senior Java Software Developer you will have the opportunity to put your expertise to work by applying and further developing your technical and soft skills.
We believe that a senior developer is more than just a coder, so your responsibilities will range from requirements clarifications with the customer, to performing analyses and design, providing technical recommendations, developing the agreed solution to release and maintaining production after thorough testing. We also believe that a senior developer must be able to mentor and coach colleagues who are less experienced. In turn, they will also benefit from mentoring and coaching from colleagues who are more experienced.
