## Description

Als Senior Java Backend Engineer krijg je een sleutelrol in de verdere uitbouw van het platform. Je werkt in domeinteams aan robuuste backendmodules, die draaien in een event-driven architectuur op basis van Java21, Spring Boot, Docker, RabbitMQ en AWS.

Je denkt mee over domeinmodellering, API-design, testbaarheid en schaalbaarheid. Omdat het platform juridische en financiële logica bevat, werk je aan systemen waarin foutloosheid, uitlegbaarheid en uitzonderingsverwerking cruciaal zijn.

Jij bepaalt samen met je team de standaarden, introduceert best practices, en helpt collega's groeien in hun vak. Je werkt in een multidisciplinair team met andere ervaren backend engineers en hebt veel autonomie over hoe je je werk vormgeeft.
