Senior Backend Developer

We design and enhance a core insurance platform that covers nearly every aspect of our primary insurance operations. The system leverages Java 17 as its foundation, with Groovy for specialized business rules, Vaadin for user interfaces, Oracle DB as the primary database, and REST/SOAP services for external integrations.

Our development approach emphasizes clean and modular architecture, utilizing Guice for dependency injection, adhering to Clean Architecture principles, and adopting a plugin-based framework for implementing new features. We prioritize system stability through comprehensive unit, integration, and web service tests, complemented by continuous refactoring efforts.
