Java Software Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: Java Software Architect (Java/Spring Boot, SDLC architecture, GenAI/LLM integration, DevSecOps)

Description

Design and evolve the software development process architecture (SDLC) integrated with GenAI/LLM. Combine architecture and hands-on development to automate delivery, improve code quality, and raise security standards aligned with Secure by Design and DevSecOps. Lead integration of GenAI/LLM into DevOps/DevSecOps workflows and support complex engineering components.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop architecture for new and existing Java and Spring Boot solutions
• Design and optimize the end-to-end SDLC (requirements, design, development, testing, documentation, deployment)
• Integrate GenAI/LLM tools and models into software manufacturing and DevOps/DevSecOps environment
• Design security mechanisms (authentication, authorization, access control, secret management) and embed DevSecOps practices into CI/CD
• Create architectural documentation, modeling, and engineering standards
• Build Proof of Concept for new technologies and support teams in implementing the most complex components
• Audit existing systems to identify technical debt and security gaps and recommend improvements
• Monitor effectiveness of delivered solutions and optimize developer team workflows
• Promote secure and high-quality development practices and share knowledge with teams
• Collaborate with technical and business teams to translate architectural and security requirements into solutions

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience designing and programming complex backend systems in Java, including 2+ years as an Architect/Tech Lead/Senior Developer responsible for solution design
• Practical, hands-on Java and Spring knowledge, especially Spring Boot, Spring Security, and Spring Cloud
• Experience with distributed and microservices architecture
• Integration experience using REST API, gRPC, and event-driven solutions (Kafka or RabbitMQ)
• Strong knowledge of SDLC and practices related to quality, security, and automation
• Knowledge of Secure by Design and security standards (OWASP ASVS, OWASP SAMM)
• Practical DevSecOps and CI/CD experience (e.g., Jenkins or similar)
• Knowledge of SAST, DAST, and SCA approaches/tools (e.g., SonarQube, Acunetix, JFrog)
• Practical knowledge of OAuth2, OpenID Connect, JWT, and SAML plus secrets management
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift
• Practical knowledge of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL or Oracle) and NoSQL
• Ability to model and document architecture (UML or C4)
• Knowledge of code quality and automated testing across the application
• Understanding of frontend technologies (Angular, HTML5, CSS) for integration and presentation-layer security

Benefits

• Long-term projects and stability; opportunities to grow across multiple IT areas
• Flexible engagement forms (B2B, employment contract, or contract work)
• Benefits: Medicover (extended with dentistry), FitProfit, English language lessons
• F45 gym training at the office
• Internal referral program
• Funding for IT certifications
• Work style depends on project: hybrid, remote, or onsite
• Company events and integration trips
• Charitable support (e.g., Szlachetna Paczka) and participation in #PomagamyNexio
