Java Back-end Developer

The operating model of our activities consists in injecting small development teams inside large IT projects with the purpose to enable and contribute to the creation of best-of-breed software systems and architectures as envisaged by business requirements and technological strategies. The development activities are managed by "Agile" processes and require the participation of all project participants along all the phases of planning, implementing, and validating the assigned activities.

The Job for the role of Java Back-end Developer

For each "Sprint" necessary for the realisation of the project, the candidate will interface with the planning managers (Scrum Master) to define the activities for which he/she will have implementation responsibility. The implementation phase includes the analysis and review of the business and technical requirements documented on Jira and Confluence systems, the development of the code for the realisation of the business logic, the writing of the automatic software test programs and the execution of the tests (unit testing) of what was accomplished.

Upon completion of the software development tasks, the candidate will collaborate with the operation team assigned to the project (DevOps) to support the integration of the completed software with other relevant components and services, the installation and configuration of the software on cloud architectures and the execution of acceptance tests (Integration Test/Acceptance Test).

The coordination of the project takes place through daily meetings involving all the organizations that contribute to the execution of the project. Since the different teams reside in different geographies, the meetings are held in English; the same is true for all asynchronous communications (messaging) and the drafting of the technical documentation.
