Senior Java Developer

Description

Ciklum is looking for a Senior Java Developer to join our team full-time in Pakistan.

We are a leading global product engineering and digital services company that unites 4000+ seasoned professionals globally on various projects in healthcare, fintech, travel, sportswear, entertainment, and security. Ciklum delivers high-impact technology solutions to Fortune 500 and fast-growing organisations worldwide.

About the role:

As a Senior Java Developer, become a part of a cross-functional development team working for the DSV.

About the client:

DSV is one of the very best performing companies in the transport and logistics industry. +85,000 employees in more than 90 countries work passionately to deliver great customer experiences and high-quality services – as part of the operation or in a variety of supporting roles. If you have drive and talent and enjoy responsibility, we’ll give you the support you need to explore your potential and forward your career.

About the Project:

Do you want to build scalable applications with modern cloud technologies? Do you believe value is best created in cross-functional teams with direct user access?

Innovating and designing new products as well as tweaking and maturing existing ones, you will cooperate with data scientists, DevOps engineers, ML engineers, frontend developers, data engineers, business experts and other specialists to create the digital products of tomorrow.

Join a team focused on our most valuable digital products

You will join the Digital Enterprise Transformation team. The purpose of our team is to build advanced end-to-end products that create direct business value for DSV’s divisions, including:

• Customs declaration automation
• Vendor invoices automation
• Booking transparency
• Address validation
• ETA prediction

The use cases we solve tend to have a high degree of complexity, requiring non-deterministic problem solving (i.e., the use of ML/AI), near real-time data processing, a need for high availability, vertical and horizontal scalability, and an extremely high volume of transactions.

However, fancy technologies and accurate ML models do not solve the issues at hand alone. We strive to combine our competencies to build holistic solutions where the underlying complexity is hidden for the user to create simple and value-adding experiences. We do this with close, ongoing dialogue with our end-users – that is one of the benefits of having the users internally in the organization!

Our new unit is characterized by having a startup mindset, and it is divided into cross-functional product teams with a mix of career starters and highly experienced colleagues. We strive to base our work on knowledge and insight rather than hierarchical structures, and we make sure that our decisions are based on conversations between people with different competencies rather than one individual.

Build high-quality software with fault tolerance and scalability

As our next Senior Java Developer, you will use the right tools in the toolbox to solve the issues at hand. You will engage in solution architecture discussions as well as building, testing, and deploying the software using our standard CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities

• Building micro services for processing data, reading/writing to the database, exposing data to other applications, and more
• Using the architectural patterns that are relevant for a specific context such as event-based data streaming, request-response web services, file transport jobs, and more
• Making sure that relevant logs are created, are understandable, are shared with our central logging platform, and that the necessary alerts are setup
• Testing your software from a functional, quality, fault-tolerance, performance, and scalability perspective
• Building security features into the solution such as federated authentication and authorization, role-based access control, and similar
• Engaging in a “guild” for backend developers to share knowledge, technical patterns and ways of working across product teams
• And much more…
