Our client in the Information Technology and Services industry is looking for a Kotlin (or Java) Developer to work within the Developer Experience (DevX) Standards and Controls function, which is building a platform for control owners and development teams to manage and view their compliance with a range of software development controls.
The successful candidate will work on Kotlin and Java-based web applications and APIs across 2–3 applications and proofs of concept. Exact candidate allocation will depend on experience and fit. All applications have a microservice architecture built using modern coding techniques.
What you will do:
- Collaborate with developers, testers, and the wider organisation to build and run products.
- Design, develop, and implement back-end features according to backlog and priorities, with a small element of frontend development.
- Develop features using simple UI frameworks without requiring strictly frontend-focused development.
- Collaborate with the engineering team to design and launch new features.
- Proactively work with customers to resolve issues and respond to feature requests.
- Build APIs and microservices.
- Work in an Agile CI/CD environment to deliver rapid iterations at a sustained velocity.
- Participate actively as a team member through peer reviews and testing of other developers' code using automated test scripting.
- Apply strong technical and analytical troubleshooting skills to investigate and resolve development issues.
- Work with standard developer collaboration tools including GitHub or Bitbucket, Jira, and Confluence.
