  • Defining and implementing security architectures (IAM, authentication, secrets management, network zoning, security policies)
  • Designing APIs (REST/OpenAPI, CDC) and asynchronous integrations (Kafka, AsyncAPI)
  • Ensuring quality through SonarQube, quality gates, and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD)
  • Acting as a technical advisor to stakeholders, development teams, and clients

Requirements

  • Hands-on expertise with Spring Boot, microservices, Docker, and Kubernetes
  • Experience in security architecture (IAM/authentication, secrets management, network segmentation)
  • Knowledge of REST/OpenAPI, Kafka, SonarQube, and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins)
  • Experience with Git and Bitbucket in multiple projects
  • German (C1 mandatory) and English (B2); French is a plus

Even if you don't check off every one of these boxes, we'd love to hear from you. Talk to one of our recruitment team to discuss what you might be able to bring to our projects.
