MODERN JAVA DEVELOPER (M/F/D)

Our software is modern and powerful, and it is the “heart” of North Data. It is written in “Modern Java”, that is, using current Java technology with a clean code base and an emphasis on functional style. Our environment is Github and Google Cloud. We’re very pragmatic in our development approach - no scrum or daily standups - and try to use best development practices as much as possible.
Ideally, you love to explore problems yourself. For example, if we encounter a new country data source, there is no one here to write a specification for you!
We’re looking for both senior and junior level developers.
