ABOUT THE JOB

The Senior Java Developer will be responsible for implementing new features, fixing bugs, and improving and refactoring code.

However, much of the teams tasks are also not strictly web-related and may challenge you in other ways (e.g. data analytics, network communication, database optimization, etc.). You will have a lot of independence and agency while working, but will communicate with other colleagues daily and often work with them directly to solve coding issues.
