Our client is modernizing their IT approach, involving many change programs and projects. One of these projects is to phase out the current middleware product and to implement a new integration platform in a future-proof way. The redevelopment of integrations is ongoing, and we are now looking for additional team members to strengthen the multidisciplinary project team and to gain traction in the coming months in order to realize project goals.

Function Scope

You will work as a dedicated project team member within the technical area of the project. The Senior Software Engineer is a crucial member of the project team and will be working from a ‘build it then run it’ perspective. The role involves designing, building, and supporting the testing and roll-out of Java applications replacing the APIs and data flows currently handled by the Middleware solution. The new applications are to be built using Open Source technologies and packages.
