Portugal onlyTITLE: Senior Fullstack Developer (React/Node.js/Java Spring Boot) - Full Remote Portugal
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We're looking for a Senior Fullstack Developer to join a well-established, engineering-driven software consultancy known for its collaborative, politics-free culture built on lean principles and self-organisation. This is an opportunity to work alongside a highly skilled, autonomous team that values craftsmanship, ownership, and continuous learning over rigid hierarchy. You'll help build fluid, responsive user interfaces and resilient backend services for multiple platforms, solving complex technical problems to world-class standards. Occasional travel (0-15% of your time) may be required depending on the project and client needs.
PROJECT & CONTEXT
You'll be embedded in a team responsible for the full software delivery lifecycle — from local development through to production — working on asynchronous, event-driven workflows and modern cloud-native services. The role spans both frontend and backend, requiring strong fundamentals across the stack, a testing-first mindset, and curiosity about containerization and modern DevOps practices. You'll work within agile teams (Scrum/Kanban), contributing to a codebase that prioritizes performance, security, and resilience.

- Experience with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban)
- Fluent in English (required)
NICE TO HAVE (Preferred)
- Exposure to containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
