Java Fullstack Developer

At Mindera, we craft software with people we love.

As an experienced developer within Mindera, you need to have an excellent understanding of how to define and deliver solutions iteratively and collaboratively. You’ll be challenged to solve complex problems and build seamless user interactions to world-class standards.

When you join Mindera, we welcome you into a fun and politics-free work culture, built on the principles of lean and self-organisation.

At Mindera, we encourage the use of AI to assist with coding and related tasks. We find that a person’s skill in engineering and software craft has a big impact on long-term successful delivery, with or without AI. Our goal in the interview process is to understand the candidate’s knowledge and skill with engineering.

If you need to, or plan to use AI, please be transparent with us when you're using it, to avoid issues and misunderstandings that can either impact your chance of securing the role or impact your success at Mindera.
