We're looking for an enthusiastic and driven Senior Java Engineer to join our Team Network Services, where you are at the heart of Network Planning - transforming the planned network into the actual network (inventory) that the entire company relies on. Part of your responsibilities will be to further automate the processes of generating rides, which are essential for all other domains such as operations, customer bookings, pricing, and sales.

To align our product with Flix's ambitious growth strategy, our team has begun transitioning to a Kotlin-based technology stack. This includes rethinking our PHP microservices and finalizing the decoupling of the monolith. Your expertise will be highly valued in this journey.

You will be part of a supportive, self-organized, cross-functional team of professionals, including a Product Owner and Backend / Full Stack Engineers, with support from UX/UI Specialists and an Agile Coach.

If you're eager to make a substantial impact in a vital area of our business, we'd love to have you on board!

Your Responsibilities – Paint the world green

As part of our team, you own and drive the development of our products that provide network data to downstream domains.
Being a T-shaped engineer, you contribute to backend development while being involved in all other aspects such as operations, testing and frontend.
You thrive in an agile environment.
You take ownership, plan and drive topics proactively, and communicate transparently.
You are a team player, working in a collaborative (hybrid) work mode that supports flexibility.
You value building quality into our product and delivering value to our users.
You think beyond the horizon, selecting the best tools and patterns for implementation.
You work confidently with our tech stack (Kotlin, PHP, Java, Kafka, MySql, React, GitLab CI/CD, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes).
