About Surveillance & Regulatory

Application: db-SIS

db-SIS is the front gate into the Surveillance Domain and the glue between all the Surveillance Controls that analyze the transactions. This is the place where it is decided which Surveillance Controls need to be run and where the analyses are being consolidated into one final decision. Big amounts of data (millions of messages per day) need to move fast (some as fast as 200ms) and reliable. Data loss is not an option and self-healing is mandatory.

The production version (6 years old) is built on a microservice architecture using Spring Boot and Apache Camel with MQ as a backbone.

The first iteration of new db-SIS has been designed and built in an Event Driven style with Kafka as a backbone.

About the Role

We are looking for another Java Engineer colleague in the Surveillance Area to help us build the subsequent iterations of dbSIS (Surveillance Insulation Services) in an Event Driven style with Kafka as the Backbone but also keep alive the current version which has been in production for the last 6 years.

We need a colleague that likes building software and is comfortable with taking design decisions at component level, but also doesn’t shy away from doing more mundane activities such as catering to OSS vulnerabilities or Java versions upgrade.

You are aware of the importance of resilience and fault tolerance and take it into account when writing code.

You are eager to support your colleagues with your knowledge and experience whether they are more junior or more senior and you don’t shy away from asking advice.

While you have knowledge of Spring Boot, it is very important you have no challenges building applications without Spring.

• Good experience with Java (min. 5 years)
• Ability to design and build components
• Ability to test your application through and out
• Knowledge of working with OpenShift/Kubernetes or other containerization products
• Willingness to share your experience and explain your technical decisions to less experience engineers or non-technical colleagues
• Have a DevOps/SRE approach when designing/building the applications
• Willingness to learn what you don’t know from your colleagues or on your own
• Working knowledge with relational databases

We would really love you to know:

• Kafka
• MQ
• Apache Camel
• Spring Boot
• OpenShift
• REST

Nice to have:

• BDD
• OpenAPI
• Gradle
• Jenkins

Key Responsibilities:

• Design/Build/Enhance software components (legacy and the new design)
• Documentation
• Build tests (junit or automation tests)
• Deploy applications through the environments all the way into Production
• Be on call for Production Support
• Troubleshooting
