JAVA Solution Architect

Are you an experienced JAVA Solution Architect? Have you taken charge of the redesign and rearchitecture of large monolithic JAVA based applications into microservices? Have you provided JAVA development teams with direction and architectural decisions in an Agile way? Are you interested in becoming part of a team that is responsible for API development, which enables developers to develop their own microservices? If so, this could be the perfect JAVA Solution Architect job for you!

You will join a specialist team based in Zurich that take responsibility for API development. You will work as a Senior JAVA Solution architect in this role, reporting directly into the Head of the team and working with another Architect to make architectural and design decisions. Alongside the developers in Zurich, there is also a near shore team that contribute to the ongoing development and growth of the platform. The team have developed an integration platform that enables developers to develop their own microservices and currently have circa 60 microservices in production.

They do this by following a strict Agile approach to development, making use of high test coverage and also Cucumber for BDD. The core competencies are strong JAVA development skills, good knowledge of the Spring framework (Boot, Integration), microservices and Kafka for streaming. Given the nature of their work, there is containerization using Docker & Kubernetes.

As part of this team you will get the best of both worlds in the sense that you will work for a large well funded firm, but get to operate without as much of the classic red tape associated with a large environment.
