This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role for someone who already writes solid Java and wants to grow fast in a modern cloud environment.\nYou will build and maintain the services behind our multi-tenant SaaS platform, working shoulder to shoulder with the squad's Digital Architect, who will review your code, guide your technical decisions, and help you level up, and other software developers. We are looking for someone who writes clean, tested code, asks good questions, takes feedback well, and finishes what they start.\nPrimary mission: Deliver well-tested, production-ready backend features for our cloud-native SaaS products, under the technical guidance of the squad's Digital Architect.\n Key stakeholders: Digital Architect (direct manager), Squad Software Developers, Product Manager, Data/AI Engineers.\n Employment type: Full-time\nJobs to Be Done:\nLead the Frontend Engineering Team: Manage, grow, and set the technical direction for all frontend engineers. Own hiring, code review standards, individual development plans, and the allocation of frontend capacity across squads and platform work.\nFeature Development: Implement backend features and REST APIs in Java (Spring Boot) for our SaaS products, from a defined ticket through to a running service in production.\nTesting as Part of the Work: Write unit and integration tests for everything you build. Tests are part of the deliverable, not a separate task to be done later.\nCode Review Participation: Submit small, reviewable pull requests and act on review feedback quickly. Review your peers' code and learn from theirs.\nBug Fixing & Support: Investigate and fix defects in your squad's services, including reproducing issues from logs and traces, and supporting releases when your code is involved.\nData Layer Work: Write and optimise SQL queries, design straightforward schemas and migrations, and work with the platform's persistence layer under guidance.\nCloud-Native Delivery: Containerise and ship your services through the squad's existing CI/CD pipelines; understand what happens to your code after the merge.\nCollaboration: Work with the Product Manager to clarify requirements before coding, and with Data/AI Engineers when your services consume or expose data and model outputs.\nDocumentation: Keep API contracts and technical notes current for the components you own.\nEducation Requirements:\nMinimum: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent verifiable hands-on software engineering experience.\nPreferred: Relevant technical certification in software engineering or cloud platforms.\nLicenses/Accreditations (nice to have): GCP or equivalent AWS/Azure certifications related to either Software Engineering / Solutions Architecting\nExperience:\nYears of experience: 3+ years of hands-on backend development, with Java as the primary language in a professional setting.\nDomain exposure: Building and running web or SaaS applications; REST API development; relational databases; working in a cloud environment (Google Cloud preferred, AWS/Azure acceptable); containerisation (Docker).\nWays of working: Experience working in an agile squad with version control, pull-request-based review, and an automated build and deployment pipeline.\nNice to have: Exposure to multi-tenant applications, message queues or event-driven patterns, observability tooling, or basic Python.\nSkills and Competencies\nTechnical: Java (Java 17+, solid command of the language and its ecosystem) - Must-have\n Spring Boot (REST controllers, dependency injection, configuration, data access) - Must-have\n Automated Testing (JUnit, mocking, integration tests) - Must-have\nSQL and Relational Data Modelling - Nice-to-have\nGit and Pull-Request Workflow - Must-have\n REST API Design & Implementation - Nice-to-have (strongly preferred)\n Docker & Containerised Deployment - Nice-to-have (strongly preferred)\n Cloud Platforms (GCP: Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, or equivalents on AWS/Azure) - Nice-to-have\n Foundational Python (enough to read a data pipeline and collaborate with Data/AI engineers) - Nice-to-have\n\nBehavioural: Ownership of assigned work through to production, willingness to ask early rather than stay blocked, receptiveness to code review, attention to detail, clear written English, and genuine curiosity about how the wider platform works.\nTools/Systems: Git, CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Google Cloud Build, etc.), Docker, Jira, Confluence, relational and non-relational DB engines.\nKey Performance Indicators (KPIs):\nDesign System Adoption: Share of product UI built from design-system components rather than bespoke markup. Target: > 85%\nDelivery Consistency: Assigned sprint items completed and merged within the sprint. Target: 85%\nCode Review Efficiency: Pull requests merged without major rework, and review feedback addressed promptly. Target: 80% merged without major rework\nTest Coverage Contribution: Test coverage of new and modified code in the squad's repositories. Target: >80% on new code\nProduction Stability: Critical or high-severity defects in production traced to own delivered code. Target: < 2 per quarter\nTechnical Growth: Progression against an agreed development plan set with the Senior Software Developer. Target: Reviewed quarterly\nWhy Join Us?\nCareer growth: You will work alongside senior engineers who review your code and invest in your development, on a real SaaS platform with real customers rather than internal tooling. There is a clear path towards Senior Software Developer and Digital Architect for people who deliver and grow.\nCulture: Engineering-first and builder mindset. We value working software and hands-on validation over endless theoretical debates. Small squads, short feedback loops, and modern technology chosen on merit.\nRewards: Competitive tax-free salary in Qatar, comprehensive health benefits, relocation assistance, and modern workplace perks, among others.\nMobility Information\nPlease note that any applicant who is not a citizen of the country of the vacancy will be subject to compliance with the applicable immigration requirements to legally work in that country.\nJob Posting End Date:\nnoviembre-1-2026","description_format":"text","description_chars":6387,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":true}]},"benefits":["Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Energy Storage","Power Grid","Solar Energy","Wind Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T14:19:41Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":89,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.886,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":14,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-06T05:45:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/iberdrola-backend-software-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/iberdrola-backend-software-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-06T22:07:13Z","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","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2288,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2712,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":5398},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5398"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fiberdrola-backend-software-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Fiberdrola-backend-software-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Fiberdrola-backend-software-developer"},{"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/iberdrola-backend-software-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fiberdrola-backend-software-developer"}]}
