Medior/Senior Java Software Engineer

Do you want to build scalable software that helps entrepreneurs access the financing and services they need, while shaping the engineering landscape behind it? Join Rabobank as a Medior/Senior Java Software Engineer.

As a Medior/Senior Java Software Engineer, you help Rabobank transform towards a segment-agnostic process landscape for entrepreneurs. Our ambition is to give customers fast and easy access to insights into their loans and credit solutions through an Automated, Guided & Tailored approach.

You design, build and operate scalable services and work closely with fellow engineers to develop smart solutions that can be deployed at scale. You take ownership of the technology you build, keep our stack and dependencies up to date and contribute to a strong engineering culture.

You will also challenge existing ways of working and continuously look for opportunities to make our software, processes and engineering practices better.

Practical examples

• Design and build scalable Java services and APIs within a distributed, event-driven landscape.
• Maintain and improve services and dependencies together with your own and other engineering teams.
• Prevent and resolve production incidents in line with agreed SLAs and identify their root causes.
• Improve our technology stack and engineering processes with solutions that can be applied at scale.
• Contribute to technical discussions, design reviews, guilds, chapters and other engineering communities.

Top responsibilities

• Build and operate reliable, scalable and fault-tolerant Java services.
• Take ownership of your applications, from design and development to production and continuous improvement.
• Strengthen our engineering culture by challenging existing solutions, sharing knowledge and collaborating across teams.

Together we achieve more than alone

At Rabobank, software engineering is a team effort. You work in an agile environment together with software engineers and other specialists and collaborate with different back-end and front-end teams that consume your services.

You are encouraged to take initiative, explore new technologies with your fellow engineers and contribute to guilds, chapters and workgroups. Continuous learning is an important part of the way we work. You develop your own expertise while helping the engineers around you grow as well.

Your profile

You combine strong software engineering skills with curiosity, ownership and a collaborative mindset. You see possibilities rather than obstacles and are comfortable taking the initiative instead of waiting for somebody else to solve a problem.

For this position, we are looking for someone with:

• A relevant bachelor's degree and approximately 5 to 8 years of software engineering experience, including experience designing and operating distributed systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with Java 17 or higher and Spring 3.5+, preferably combined with microservices, event-driven architecture, Domain-Driven Design and an API-first approach.
• Solid knowledge of distributed systems, including scalability, fault tolerance, high availability, consistency, replication and partitioning, with experience using Kafka or a comparable streaming platform.
• Hands-on experience with cloud and platform engineering, preferably AWS, combined with Kubernetes, CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code technologies such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Experience with databases and production engineering, including relational and NoSQL databases and observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry or Splunk.

Experience with technologies such as Redis, Memcached or Pulsar, operating large-scale event-streaming platforms, or contributing to open-source distributed-systems projects is an advantage.

You are comfortable communicating in English. Dutch is considered an advantage.

Please note that we have a preferred candidate for this position.
