Senior Backend Developer

About the project

The Pricing Integration Platform is a service facade that unifies the complex process of insurance policy calculations under a common API. It serves as the central calculation system used by other customer applications that collect information for insurance policies.

In this project, we process large amounts of data, develop a convenient API, orchestrate distributed tasks, manage parameter versioning, and implement calculators that must operate on substantial data volumes at lightning speed.

The current technology stack includes Java 17, Kotlin 1.8, Spring Boot 3, Spring Security, PostgreSQL, MyBatis, Spring Data, Flyway, Camunda 7, Kafka, RESTful API, Maven, MS Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes on the backend, and Angular 17, NGRx, Node.js, and Fastify on the frontend.

Your responsibilities

• Designing and implementing large, complex software applications based on RESTful microservices using Java, Kotlin, Spring, and JUnit.
• Collaborating within an Agile development team and working cross‑functionally with BAs, POs, QAs, Frontend Engineers, and UX Designers.
