Lead Java Developer

Software Development company
Helsinki, Finland
Our client is a technology company building an app for food. Be it discovering or getting great meals – takeaway, home delivery or to the table – the company takes care of it for you. Pick a restaurant, build your order, choose delivery, takeaway or eat in and hit send. The HQ is in Helsinki, Finland, but the offices are located in over 15 countries.Right now, the Payments team is looking for an experienced Lead Back End Engineer to join their team. This team is at the heart of all things, ensuring money flows between the company, customers, restaurants and courier partners. 
The gist of it all is developing different payment solutions for different markets. The team is currently building a new microservice to get rid of the old payment flow. This is to be done with Kotlin, using the Spring framework. This is a super exciting time to join the team, as you'll be part of the troops making this change possible. The old payment flow is written in Python, so any experience with that is highly beneficial.
NOTE: The company is willing to consider only candidates with experience of working in the Finnish culture (so most probably you are from Finland :)).Must have:
  • Experience with Java 8+
  • Team leading experience
  • Professional level of English
  • Perfect communication skills
Nice to have:
  • Kotlin (highly preferred)
  • Can read Python
  • Microservices
  • Experience in FinTech
