At GE Vernova's Electrification Software Global Delivery Center in Bucharest, you'll work on the systems that keep energy markets running: trading, settlement, balancing, capacity auctions, and more.\nThese aren't proof-of-concept projects. They're large-scale, distributed platforms used across multiple countries to manage real energy flows in real time.\nIf you're someone who finds deep technical problems genuinely interesting - and who wants to see your work matter at a systems level - this role was designed with you in mind.\nJob Description\nWhat You'll Do\nYou'll join an R&D team in the Market Management System (MMS) department, building a modern, modular platform for electricity market operations. You'll own your work end-to-end - from architecture decisions to deployment - and contribute to a team that values craft, collaboration, and continuous improvement.\nDesign, build, and maintain high-quality Java code on a product used in live electricity markets across multiple regions.\nTake end-to-end ownership of the software lifecycle: solution design, architecture, coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.\nOptimize distributed systems for performance - working across transactions, caching, message queues, REST endpoints, and JVM profiling.\nCollaborate directly with business and domain experts to translate complex market rules and regulatory requirements into reliable, scalable software.\nContribute to team standards in code quality, CI/CD, and software design - and actively share what you know.\nTroubleshoot and resolve issues across the full stack, including database query performance, concurrency, and integration points.\nWho You Are\nYou're a seasoned Java engineer who thrives when the problems are hard and the stakes are high. You bring solid hands-on experience with enterprise systems, a sharp eye for performance, and the communication skills to explain complex solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences. You're comfortable owning your work and just as comfortable learning from the people around you.\nRequired\nSolid hands-on experience with Java 17+ and the Spring Boot ecosystem - including dependency injection, transactions, multithreading, concurrency, and aspect-oriented programming\nStrong proficiency in Hibernate / JPA: transactional behavior, query optimization, persistence best practices, and L1/L2 caching\nREST API development: design, error handling, and integration with front-end or third-party services\nWeb security fundamentals, including OWASP principles and secure authentication/authorization flows\nDatabase proficiency across relational databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL), including query tuning and transactional integrity\nJVM and database query profiling and performance optimization\nStrong written and spoken English communication skills - you're able to explain complex technical solutions clearly.\nPreferred\nExperience with distributed applications, messaging (JMS/MQ), workflow engines (Flowable/BPMN)\nDevOps/CI-CD tooling: Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Argo CD, Helm\nFront-end exposure: Angular, TypeScript\nScripting: Bash, Batch, Groovy.\nEducation\nA formal education and subsequent Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field is nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.\nWhat We Offer\nGE Vernova employees rise to the challenge of building a world that works. To support that, we offer benefits designed to reward strong performance and help you manage your personal and family needs.\nHybrid working model with flexible hours\nPrivate Medical Insurance (extendable to family members)\nAnnual performance-based salary review and annual bonus\nIncreasing vacation entitlement based on your work experience\nStructured onboarding with a dedicated one-month ramp-up period\nFull access to GE Vernova's learning platform, including Udemy and KodeKloud subscriptions\nWellbeing programme including health-focused events, free wellness apps, and a confidential employee assistance programme\nBookster subscription, corporate fitness discounts, meal vouchers, gift vouchers (Christmas and Easter), additional days off, and family benefits including children's events and gifts\nWe invest in your development with training programmes throughout the year and ongoing opportunities to grow your career through hands-on learning and structured support.\nOur Community\nThe GE Vernova Bucharest team is an active, connected community. Team members participate in personal development workshops, book clubs, sports competitions, volunteering, greening and afforestation initiatives, and events for employees' children. We're committed to an inclusive environment where every person feels accepted, respected, and able to contribute their best.\nAdditional Information\nRelocation Assistance Provided: No","description_format":"text","description_chars":4994,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Hybrid work","Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Hydroelectric","Power Grid","Industrial Machinery","Wind Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-22T14:54:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":18,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.512,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":49,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T16:20:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30793,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6165},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6165"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fge-vernova-sr-java-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1115092}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gevernova.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1115092},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
