Senior Software Engineer (Java)

Nexthink is the leader in digital employee experience management software. The company provides IT leaders with unprecedented insight allowing them to see, diagnose and fix issues at scale impacting employees anywhere, with any application or network, before employees notice the issue. As the first solution to allow IT to progress from reactive problem solving to proactive optimization, Nexthink enables its more than 1,200 customers to provide better digital experiences to more than 15 million employees.

The New Data Backend team works with various internal components and services that feed the core functionality of the Nexthink product. For example, they integrate data received from endpoint devices, making it available to other product services for further analysis and processing to get insights on the digital employee experience.

Join a small team of diverse and experienced engineers that has full understanding of the components they build or use. The components built by the team are fully owned by the team, right from the requirements and design phase, all the way through implementation, validation and deployment (though there is a dedicated Operations team that handles the production environments). You’ll be part of a group that embraces DevOps and CI/CD principles, tries to automate everything they can, cares for code quality and maintainability, and is working together to build a world-class cloud platform with modern technologies and practices.

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer, you will:

• Work with existing data pipelines, enriching it and bringing more value to the customers.
• Find ways to improve the existing pipelines, with the freedom to implement very local changes, but also to propose and implement the full redesign of existing pipelines.

• Help the team maintain the high code quality standards and improve best practices.
• Work with the agile iterative/incremental mindset.
• Be open-minded to learn new technologies and programming languages when needed.
• Drive complex projects with minimal oversight, delivering features iteratively.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in software development.
• Strong experience with scalable software architecture: microservices, APIs (e.g.: REST, gRPC), container deployment (e.g.: Docker, Kubernetes, Istio) and messaging architectures (e.g. Kafka). Concrete experience with Kafka and Kafka streams is a plus.
• Passion for and experience in building resilient, secure and scalable services.
• Experience with public cloud providers, preferably AWS.
• Very solid knowledge of core Java (other programming languages are a plus), including how to deal with multithreading issues.
• Solid experience with Spring or Micronaut.

• Familiarity with Jenkins, Git, and with configuration management systems like Terraform.
• Experience working in an Agile environment, excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to take ownership over tasks, work with specification, work closely together with Product Managers and other teams, and chase information when necessary.
