Why join us
Join DSV’s Global IT building next-gen Enterprise Products across Supply Chain, Data, and Platform capabilities.
We work in cross-functional platform & product teams with a flat hierarchy and a collaborative culture.
Our principles: We learn fast, design for scale, build pragmatically, and treat quality as a team sport.
The impact you’ll have
You’ll design, build, and operate scalable, secure microservices that power mission-critical logistics flows.
Your work will modernize our backend architecture (APIs, streaming, data access), improve reliability and performance, and raise engineering standards across teams.
What you’ll do
- Design & Development
- Build robust backend services in Java (21+) with Spring Boot 3 (REST APIs, data access, messaging).
- Implement event-driven streaming with Kafka (KStreams/KConnect), and request/response services.
- Design, implement, and maintain public APIs (REST/OpenAPI), and integrate vendor APIs with rate limiting & caching.
- Model and optimize data in MongoDB / PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query performance).
- Refactor legacy monolith components into microservices with clear boundaries and resilient communication.
Quality, Observability & Security
- Write unit/integration/contract tests (JUnit/Mockito/Testcontainers; load tests with Gatling where needed) and embed them in CI/CD.
- Ensure logging, metrics, tracing and alerts are implemented (ELK/Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) and integrated with central platforms.
- Follow secure coding practices; implement OIDC/OAuth2/RBAC, data privacy, and audit logging.
Delivery & Operations
- Build, test, and deploy via Jenkins/Argo/Azure DevOps pipelines, containerized with Docker, orchestrated on Kubernetes.
- Own services end-to-end: capacity/performance tuning, SLOs, on-call participation, and L3 incident/root-cause analysis.
Collaboration & Best Practices
- Partner with Product Owners, Solution Architects, Tech Leads, QA, and Frontend teams to refine requirements and shift-left on testability.
- Contribute to backend guild practices: reusable patterns, documentation, and shared libraries; mentor juniors informally.
Your toolkit
- Languages & Frameworks: Java 21+, Spring Boot 3+, Spring Data/JPA, Spring Security
- Streaming & Integration: Kafka (KStreams/KConnect), REST/OpenAPI; (GraphQL nice-to-have)
- Data: MongoDB 7+, PostgreSQL 12+
- CI/CD & Cloud-native: Jenkins, Argo, Azure DevOps; Docker; Kubernetes
- Observability: ELK, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry
- Testing: JUnit, Mockito, Testcontainers; Gatling (performance)
What you bring
- Experience: 6-10+ years in backend engineering, including Java/Spring Boot production systems at scale.
- Architecture: strong microservices design, domain modeling, and API design (REST/OpenAPI); event-driven systems with Kafka.
- Data: solid RDBMS and NoSQL foundations; performance profiling of queries and services.
- Delivery & Ops: CI/CD pipeline integration; containerization & Kubernetes familiarity; SRE-minded approach to observability, reliability, and security.
- Collaboration: clear communication, pragmatic problem-solving, and the ability to mentor peers.
What we offer:
- Permanent contract
- Private medical care
- English courses - financial or co-financed by company
