We are hiring on behalf of a SaaS product company in the travel,

transportation and logistics space. This is a permanent role on their team.

WHAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY DO

· Read and reason about a large existing Java codebase, including the parts

you did not write and the parts nobody remembers writing

· Take a problem as a user reported it, work out what is actually wrong, and

fix it

· Write SQL, and make slow SQL rapid

· Build and extend services using Spring Boot, Spring framework and JPA

repositories

· Work across the web layer when the fix lives there (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

· Operate in an environment where support and development sit side by side,

and some weeks lean more one way than the other

WHAT WE NEED

· Java and J2EE, in production, not just in training

· Spring Boot, Spring framework, JPA repositories

· RDBMS and SQL: writing queries, and optimising the ones that are too slow

· XML

· Solid object-oriented fundamentals

· The ability to debug and troubleshoot effectively, which here means

narrowing down a problem you have never seen before





· Strong communication and teamwork, because you will be talking to the

people who reported the problem, not just to other engineers

WHAT HELPS

· Web development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

· A willingness to pick up unfamiliar technology and adapt quickly. The stack

spans several years of decisions and you will meet all of them

THE HONEST PART

Parts of this stack are long-lived. MySQL 5.5 and J2EE are named in the

brief, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. If you only want greenfield

work, this is not your role and we would rather you knew that now. If you

like systems that have been running for years, carry real load, and are not

allowed to go down, this is unusually good work.

It is also a support and development role, both. Triage is part of the job,

not an interruption to it.

WHAT IS ON OFFER

· Deep domain expertise in travel, transportation and logistics

· A stable SaaS product
