Location: Poland / Cyprus / Georgia / Serbia / Spain / Armenia / Portugal

Employment: fulltime

Position: Senior Software Engineer — App Modernization (Java)

We're building an AI-powered application modernization practice for major global financial institutions.

The work: take legacy enterprise applications — monoliths, on-prem deployments, decade-old frameworks — and move them to modern platforms (Kubernetes, cloud-native, containerized). Hundreds of applications, each with its own stack, quirks, and business constraints. Most happen to be Java, but not all.

What You Will Do

*▫️*Assess legacy applications end-to-end: architecture, dependencies, infrastructure, risk — using AI-assisted analysis tools

*▫️*Decide migration strategy for each app based on its characteristics, constraints, and business value

*▫️*Execute the full modernization: framework upgrades, dependency migration, containerization, CI/CD pipeline setup

*▫️*Deploy to target platforms — cloud services, or optimized on-prem — whatever makes sense for the app

*▫️*Shape the modernization practice itself: contribute patterns, templates, and lessons learned that make the next migration faster

*▫️*Collaborate with application teams who own the legacy systems

Required

*▫️*Strong Java/Spring expertise— the majority of the target portfolio is Java (10+years)

*▫️*Participation in modernization / tech transformation / legacy shift / migration to cloud / migration from legacy / tech upgrade / lift and shift / dockerization is a must

*▫️*Hands-on modernization experience— you've migrated enterprise applications from older frameworks, runtimes, or platforms to modern ones. Java is the most common target, but the next app could be anything

*▫️*Broad infrastructure knowledge

*▫️*Working knowledge of enterprise middleware and data infrastructure

*▫️*Open to AI-assisted workflows— we use Agentic AI and LLM tools daily as primary instruments

*▫️*Enterprise comfort— you've worked in large organizations with large-scale existing systems, change management, and compliance requirements; none of this is new to you

*▫️*Excellent written and spoken English

*▫️*Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field

Big Plus

*▫️*Experience with additional JVM or non-JVM backend stacks (.NET, Python, C++)

*▫️*Experience with AI/LLM tools specifically for code analysis, migration, or large-scale refactoring

Financial services, capital markets, or fintech background — our clients operate in regulated environments with algo trading, post-trade processing, and real-time risk systems

*▫️*Kubernetes deployment experience (EKS, Helm, ArgoCD)

*▫️*Cloud migration patterns (lift-and-shift, strangler fig, blue-green, database migration strategies)

*▫️*ServiceNow, Confluence, Jira fluency — the enterprise tooling ecosystem

Why This Role

*▫️*Build the practice from scratch

*▫️*AI-first engineering

*▫️*Real engineering challenges

*▫️*High autonomy

*▫️*Top-tier clients

*▫️*Modern target platforms
