We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer who builds and operates production-grade Java services and the DevOps tooling around them. AI-assisted development is part of how we work day-to-day; experience shipping AI features into applications is welcome.

What you will work on
  • Design, build, and operate backend services in Java and Spring Boot
  • Develop and maintain microservices and the messaging / API surface between them
  • Own services through the full lifecycle — design, delivery, deployment, and operation
  • Strengthen the CI/CD, testing, and observability practices around the platform
  • Use AI tooling effectively in the day-to-day software development lifecycle
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and platform partners

Čo ti ponúkame

2 500 - 3 700 EUR/monthfrom 2.500 € per month - guaranteed 13th and 14th salary. The base salary starts at €2,500 gross per month, depending on the candidate’s seniority, and is guaranteed to be paid 14 times a year.
  • Are you an early bird, or do you prefer a quiet morning? Thanks to flexible working hours, at UNIQA GSC you can organize your day to suit your needs.
  • We offer new colleagues not only a warm welcome but also a welcome package. Are you curious about what it might contain?
  • To help you eat healthy and hearty meals, we’ll contribute €9.30 toward each lunch.
  • A €200 cafeteria credit—some appreciate the contribution toward sports, others toward massages, culture, books, or medication.
  • We have to keep learning throughout our lives, but thanks to in-house language courses in German and English, along with a language certificate paid for by your employer, it’s a little easier. You can also develop your skills through a wide range of professional training opportunities, which we’re also happy to support.
  • Your salary is fixed, and we’ll even add two extra paychecks. We guarantee all our employees a full 13th and 14th month’s salary.
  • Do you have children? We offer a bonus of €48.40 for each child.
  • You don’t have to worry about a decent retirement. We contribute to our employees’ third-pillar supplementary pension savings.
  • We’ve got your back in case of an accident and provide you with year-round accident insurance.
  • It’s always nice to meet up and chat with colleagues outside of work. That’s why we regularly organize events for employees, such as a Christmas party, a summer festival, a sports day, and various outings.
  • Not only our employees, but also their families will find something to enjoy. Children’s Day, St. Nicholas Day, and many other benefits are a given.
