Job details:
We are hiring on behalf of a SaaS product company in the travel,
transportation and logistics space. This is a permanent role on their team.
WHAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY DO
· Read and reason about a large existing Java codebase, including the parts
you did not write and the parts nobody remembers writing
· Take a problem as a user reported it, work out what is actually wrong, and
fix it
· Write SQL, and make slow SQL fast
· Build and extend services using Spring Boot, Spring framework and JPA
repositories
· Work across the web layer when the fix lives there (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
· Operate in an environment where support and development sit side by side,
and some weeks lean more one way than the other
WHAT WE NEED
· Java and J2EE, in production, not just in training
· Spring Boot, Spring framework, JPA repositories
· RDBMS and SQL: writing queries, and optimising the ones that are too slow
· XML
· Solid object-oriented fundamentals
· The ability to debug and troubleshoot effectively, which here means
narrowing down a problem you have never seen before
· Strong communication and teamwork, because you will be talking to the
people who reported the problem, not just to other engineers
WHAT HELPS
· Web development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
· A willingness to pick up unfamiliar technology and adapt quickly. The stack
spans several years of decisions and you will meet all of them
WHAT HELPS
· Any work on travel, transport or logistics systems: airline or airport
operations, bookings, cargo, freight, fleet, hospitality. You will pick the
domain up here either way, but arriving with it is a real head start
· Web development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
· A willingness to pick up unfamiliar technology and adapt quickly. The stack
spans several years of decisions and you will meet all of them
THE HONEST PART
Parts of this stack are long-lived. MySQL 5.5 and J2EE are named in the
brief, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. If you only want greenfield
work, this is not your role and we would rather you knew that now. If you
like systems that have been running for years, carry real load, and are not
allowed to go down, this is unusually good work.
It is also a support and development role, both. Triage is part of the job,
not an interruption to it.
WHAT IS ON OFFER
· Deep domain expertise in travel, transportation and logistics
· A stable SaaS product company rather than a project shop
· Work alongside some of the biggest airlines, busiest airports, top tour and
cruise providers, well known hotel chains and large energy companies
· Medical benefits, flexible work life policies, transparent rewards and
recognition, and continuous learning and development
· A diverse, global team
