  • Java 21 monolith
  • Remote within Germany Our client is a data integration platform serving more than 2,000 customers, helping them connect business systems, automate workflows, and exchange data across cloud and on-premise environments.

Their platform powers supply chains through real-time integration, automation, and intelligent data processing.

The codebase is a Java 21 monolith with no microservices and no Spring Boot but rather homegrown framework built on top of libraries such as Netty, Jetty, and JPA.

This role sits in a team, where the focus is not distributed systems or load balancing but using AI to modernize and clean up legacy tech debt + improve internal AI workflows within the codebase.
