Full Stack Java Developer
Brussels-Capital
Digital - Development
Reference number: 89279

Step into cross-functional teams where big ideas meet real-world impact. From healthcare to transport, energy to the public sector, you’ll help design, build, and deliver robust digital products that matter. Build full-stack web applications across different projects, clients, and industries. One month you're helping a logistics company optimize their warehouse management, the next you're building a payment platform for fintech, or developing public sector digital services. Same-ish tech stack, always new problems to solve.

We're looking for a Full Stack Java Developer to join our consulting team. You'll work on diverse projects with different clients, which means you'll never get bored solving the same problem twice.

  • You build backend services with Java and Spring Boot, designing APIs that actually make sense.
  • You develop frontend interfaces using React, Angular, or Vue—whatever the project needs.
  • You design RESTful APIs and work with databases to make data flow smoothly.
  • You write tests because untested code is just a fancy way of saying "it works on my machine."
  • You deploy with Docker and CI/CD, because manual deployments are so 2010.
  • You work in Agile teams, collaborating with developers, designers, and product owners across different client environments.
  • You adapt quickly to new codebases, tech stacks, and business domains—consulting life means variety.

What are we looking for?

  • You have 3+ years of Full Stack Java development experience.
  • You know Java (11+) and Spring Boot inside out.
  • You're comfortable with at least one modern JavaScript framework (React, Angular, Vue).
  • You understand HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+) and can make things look decent.
  • You can design and build RESTful APIs that other developers won't curse at.
  • You write SQL and work with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar).
  • You use Git like a normal person (no force-pushing to main, please).
  • You've worked in Agile/Scrum teams and know how sprints actually work.
  • You are proficient in English and Dutch or French
Nice-to-Have
  • Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift experience
  • Cloud platform knowledge (Azure, AWS, GCP)
  • Microservices architecture experience
  • CI/CD pipeline setup (GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps)
  • TypeScript skills
  • Testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockito, Jest, Cypress)
  • NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis)
  • OAuth2/OIDC authentication

What do we offer?

  • Enjoy a competitive salary package with extra perks that recognize your talent.
  • Advance your career with a clear growth path, coaching, and mentoring to support you.
  • Thrive in a dynamic and supportive environment where you can truly make an impact.
  • Work when and where you perform best, ensuring an optimal work-life balance.
  • Choose a flexible transport solution, from a company car to a public transport subscription.
  • Expand your network and enjoy unforgettable moments at exclusive events and afterworks.
  • Grow your skills with external courses and our in-house Pauwels Academy.
  • Work on exciting projects with industry leaders in Life Sciences, Engineering & Digital.
  • Seize opportunities at every level, from a strong start to career acceleration and expert collaboration.
