Senior Java Developer

Project description

The client is a firm within the financial markets, developing in a dynamic environment - with the backing of a worldwide firm. The project is built around a digital voting system that enables investors to vote in real time, removing traditional deadlines for submitting votes several days ahead of a company meeting. This is not a traditional banking project but rather a startup spun out by the bank with a relatively small dev team working on it. Project stakeholders and team members are based in Kyiv, Tel Aviv and London.

Tech stack: Java8, Java11, Angular, Maven, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring Integration, Kafka, ActiveMQ, MSSQL, REST, JSON, Jenkins, TeamCity, OpenShift.

This is a 6-month opportunity with potential prolongation
