You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues from the ideation of features through to the conceptual and planning phases, and bring innovative and delightful designs to life.

• A good grip of building and designing HTTP APIs written in Java
• Clear understanding of Spring ecosystem and the way Spring applications are written

• We're open minded, and always keen to stand up and go the extra mile for the correct solution
• We care for your personal well-being and career development while actively supporting your educational needs
• We encourage regular conference visits and multiple chances to shine with George
• New Work is not just another buzz word to us. We proactively adapt to the ever-changing work environment of today
• A competitive and performance-related salary dependent on your professional and personal qualifications is granted - we are obliged by law to quote the minimum wage of CZK 81 000,- gross per month for this full time position. But this is just a formality, we are more than happy to discuss your actual expectations.
