## About the Role

* Would you enjoy working on a domain-agnostic core engine where flexibility, security and scalability constantly need to be balanced?, * At least 7+ years of experience as a backend engineer
 * Strong experience with Java (21) and Spring Boot
 * Experience working in complex backend or platform environments
 * Experience with microservices, event-driven systems or messaging

## Description

As a Senior Java Backend Engineer Utrecht, you work on the core of the platform: a configuration-driven workflow and data platform on which other teams build their domains. You develop software tooling and services that are directly used by internal engineering teams to build faster, safer and more consistently.

You'll tackle challenges around flexibility, scalability and reliability. Think about how domain logic is expressed through configuration, how mappings remain correct as the system grows, and how to design a platform that can be used by multiple teams simultaneously without introducing unnecessary complexity.

In addition, you collaborate closely with other teams across the organisation. You help them model their use cases, understand their needs and translate these into reusable, generic solutions within the platform.
