Warsaw, Poland Contract 3+ yrs
Rate: 89 – 119 / hour (B2B)
We are looking for a skilled Java Engineer to join Flix on a freelance/service agreement basis (B2B contract). This is a contractor engagement to work on impactful, hands-on challenges in the domain of financial technology.
Scope of Services
Bring expertise in Java-based backend development. Work across Flix's finance technology environment to build and maintain critical internal applications — from revenue accounting, invoices processing to bus partner settlements and payment reconciliation.
About the Engagement
- Design, build, and maintain features for the internal data-heavy applications, supporting automated bus partner settlement generation across all FlixBus entities around the globe.
- Develop and enhance the internal services that allow finance and billing teams to manage bus partners' settlement-relevant data and track changes via event history.
- Communicate directly with business counterparts (finance, billing, and partner teams) to understand needs and shape solutions.
- Actively participate in product development, from refinement and technical design through delivery and operations.
- Implement and maintain event-driven data processing workflows using Kafka to support settlement operations.
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code practices and CI/CD pipelines on AWS, and run services on Docker/Kubernetes, with monitoring and observability (e.g. Datadog).
About You
- At least 3 years of experience as a Software Engineer, with exposure to data processing systems
- Proven experience working with Java in a commercial environment
- Experience with event-driven architectures, ideally Kafka
- Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure providers, ideally AWS
- Solid SQL knowledge
- Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes (or similar container orchestration tools) and CI/CD
- Familiarity with Snowflake or similar data warehousing solutions is a plus
- Experience in front-end technologies (e.g., JavaScript, HTML5, React.js, or Angular) is a plus
- Fluent in English
Cooperation model
- Cooperation based on a service agreement (B2B/freelance contract), not an employment contract.
- You will operate as an independent contractor, responsible for delivering agreed services and submitting invoices
- Location: open for contractors based in Poland
