## Description

As a Senior Java Developer Rotterdam, you work on the further development and improvement of the platform, with Core Java 25, Docker, AWS and SQL. You develop independently, take responsibility for quality and maintainability, and get to truly understand the existing codebase and its own technical solutions.

Your added value is in the bigger picture. You spot technical improvements and make concrete proposals, and you clearly explain the pros and cons. You contribute to the Java migration, to better development tooling, and to the architecture behind GenAI features and the integration of acquired systems. You help shape the roadmap and guard the balance between architecture decisions for the short and long term.

You do that together. You work with experienced engineers, share knowledge and ideas, and build support for change. Improvements here come from what the product and the organisation genuinely need.
