We are currently looking for a Senior Java Developer with experience in Liferay DXP to join one of our long-term public sector projects for a European Institution. You'll contribute to a highly visible, large-scale platform handling a large document volume, built for performance, availability, and scalability in a distributed, cloud-based environment.

• Take part in code reviews, update technical documentation, and assist with CI/CD processes.
• Actively contribute to performance optimizations and the evolution of the architecture.

Our roles require in-person time to encourage collaboration, learning, and relationship-building with clients, colleagues, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
