Life as a Java Developer

We are building a development team, where backend and frontend developers work together, joke together and drink coffee together. A team we ourselves would like to work on. You will work on a configurator product with challenges similar to AI with a team of passionate and experienced senior developers just like you.

We do not expect you to be an expert in every stack component, we want someone who sees the whole picture - not just backend or frontend. On our team, you will touch a wide spectrum of work: from core product modules with complex constraint satisfaction algorithms, all the way to client-specific challenges to develop user-centered frontend solutions for enterprise-grade backend complexity.

Some days will be more fun than others, you will not always have an army of Juniors to pick up your least favorite tasks like in big firms. Still, the chaos is organized and the team is smart and helpful - you will learn a lot, grow a lot and work with genuine people who have vision and common sense.

Often Full Stack developers get hired to sit on one tech stack, usually backend, with a few frontend straps here and there. At Veloce, we know that the world is changing and no stack can remain stagnant for long. If you are interested to migrate to new libraries, use new approaches, work on the newest Java and Angular versions, see the bigger picture and take ownership of your decisions, we will work well together.
