Overview:

We are seeking a highly proactive and experienced Java Developer to join our team focused on workflow integration and support. This role goes beyond conventional coding – the ideal candidate will bring strong domain understanding, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to tackle niche issues through creative problem-solving and trial-and-error exploration.

You’ll be working closely with Business Analysts to interpret and implement business workflows, supporting an advanced orchestration engine.

Key Responsibilities:

* Collaborate closely with Business Analysts to translate business workflows into technically feasible solutions using Flowable or similar workflow engines.
* Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve complex integration and orchestration issues in a Java-based environment.
* Handle edge cases and nuanced Flowable behavior through self-driven experimentation and detailed analysis.
* Provide targeted coding support, primarily focused on testing (both tooling and application-level tests) and ensuring system robustness.
* Liaise with architecture and platform teams to align workflows with broader system constraints and capabilities.
* Document workflows, edge case handling, and test strategies clearly and effectively.

Required Skills & Experience:

* Proven experience as a Java Developer (mid-to-senior level), with solid hands-on skills in Java 11+.
* Familiarity with Python for scripting or support tooling is highly desirable.
* Experience working with Kafka or similar messaging platforms.
* Strong background in software testing, including test automation tools, strategy development, and writing high-quality test cases.
* Demonstrated ability to work independently, troubleshoot novel problems, and iterate quickly on complex technical issues.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills – ability to work closely with non-developers to co-design practical solutions.
* Prior experience with Flowable, Camunda, or another BPM/workflow engine is a significant advantage.
* Banking or Finance industry experience is a MUST.

Nice to Have:

* Background in business process modeling or orchestration platforms.
* Experience in systems integration or microservice-based architectures.
* Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
