Why join us

Join DSV’s Global IT building next‑gen Enterprise Products across Supply Chain, Data, and Platform capabilities.

We work in cross‑functional platform & product teams with a flat hierarchy and a collaborative culture.
Our principles: We learn fast, design for scale, build pragmatically, and treat quality as a team sport.

The impact you’ll have

You’ll design, build, and operate scalable, secure microservices that power mission‑critical logistics flows.

Your work will modernize our backend architecture (APIs, streaming, data access), improve reliability and performance, and raise engineering standards across teams.

What you’ll do

  • Design & Development
  • Build robust backend services in Java (21+) with Spring Boot 3 (REST APIs, data access, messaging).
  • Implement event‑driven streaming with Kafka (KStreams/KConnect), and request/response services.
  • Design, implement, and maintain public APIs (REST/OpenAPI), and integrate vendor APIs with rate limiting & caching.
  • Model and optimize data in MongoDB / PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query performance).
  • Refactor legacy monolith components into microservices with clear boundaries and resilient communication.

Quality, Observability & Security

    • Write unit/integration/contract tests (JUnit/Mockito/Testcontainers; load tests with Gatling where needed) and embed them in CI/CD.
    • Ensure logging, metrics, tracing and alerts are implemented (ELK/Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) and integrated with central platforms.
    • Follow secure coding practices; implement OIDC/OAuth2/RBAC, data privacy, and audit logging.

Delivery & Operations

    • Build, test, and deploy via Jenkins/Argo/Azure DevOps pipelines, containerized with Docker, orchestrated on Kubernetes.
    • Own services end‑to‑end: capacity/performance tuning, SLOs, on‑call participation, and L3 incident/root‑cause analysis.

Collaboration & Best Practices

    • Partner with Product Owners, Solution Architects, Tech Leads, QA, and Frontend teams to refine requirements and shift‑left on testability.
    • Contribute to backend guild practices: reusable patterns, documentation, and shared libraries; mentor juniors informally.

Your toolkit

  • Languages & Frameworks: Java 21+, Spring Boot 3+, Spring Data/JPA, Spring Security
  • Streaming & Integration: Kafka (KStreams/KConnect), REST/OpenAPI; (GraphQL nice‑to‑have)
  • Data: MongoDB 7+, PostgreSQL 12+
  • CI/CD & Cloud‑native Jenkins, Argo, Azure DevOps; Docker; Kubernetes
  • Observability: ELK, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry
  • Testing: JUnit, Mockito, Testcontainers; Gatling (performance)

What you bring

  • Experience: 6–10+ years in backend engineering, including Java/Spring Boot production systems at scale.
  • Architecture: strong microservices design, domain modeling, and API design (REST/OpenAPI); event‑driven systems with Kafka.
  • Data: solid RDBMS and NoSQL foundations; performance profiling of queries and services.
  • Delivery & Ops: CI/CD pipeline integration; containerization & Kubernetes familiarity; SRE‑minded approach to observability, reliability, and security.
  • Collaboration: clear communication, pragmatic problem‑solving, and the ability to mentor peers.

What we offer:

  • Permanent contract
  • Private medical care
  • English courses - financial or co-financed by company
  • Food allowance
  • Work schedule 35h/week
  • Hybrid work
  • Comprehensive onboarding program
  • Buddy
  • Good access to public transports
