About the role

Software developer role in an Agile environment focused on migrating legacy Java applications to modern cloud-based architecture on MongoDB, leveraging GenAI tools. Remote-based in France.

Responsibilities

  • Shape architecture and technology strategy across AMP modernization projects and workstreams; make complex technical decisions with limited supervision and connect engineering choices to customer and business outcomes
  • Lead the assessment and modernization of legacy Java applications by uncovering dependencies, embedded business logic, integration points, and operational constraints; recommend fit-for-purpose modernization paths rather than defaulting to lift-and-shift
  • Design, implement, and review production-quality solutions using Java and Spring Boot, including APIs, integrations, monolith decomposition, relational-to-document data modeling, stored-procedure transformation, schema evolution, and MongoDB operational practices
  • Establish safe, incremental delivery practices through explicit acceptance criteria, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, and rollback, dual-run, or other risk-control strategies; identify quality, security, performance, and reliability risks and guide teams to resolve them
  • Serve as a senior technical partner to customers, application owners, and account and project stakeholders by explaining complex topics clearly, aligning priorities, navigating disagreement, communicating trade-offs, and maintaining trust through high-risk change
  • Multiply the effectiveness of engineers by mentoring, raising engineering standards, creating reusable migration playbooks and documentation, applying GenAI advancements responsibly where valuable, and influencing project direction without relying on formal authority

Qualifications

  • Professional fluency in French is required
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Typically 8+ years of progressive experience designing, building, and delivering Java applications, including significant experience leading complex application modernization initiatives
  • Expert understanding of Java fundamentals, object-oriented design, concurrency, error handling, performance considerations, and maintainable software architecture; able to review code and guide design decisions across teams
  • Deep production experience with Spring Boot and related patterns for building resilient services, APIs, integrations, and testable distributed applications
  • Demonstrated ability to assess legacy estates, decompose monoliths, uncover dependencies and embedded business logic, and define practical modernization strategies with clear trade-offs
  • Strong experience with relational databases and SQL, including stored procedures, data dependencies, data migration, schema evolution, and relational-to-document modeling for MongoDB or comparable document databases
  • Proven history of delivering high-cadence modern applications using Agile methodologies, test-first development, CI/CD pipelines, Git-based version control, observability, and reliability practices; demonstrated success mentoring engineers and influencing technical outcomes across teams
