Senior API Java Engineer in Utrecht

In 2010 we created the bol.com Open API, for external developers to build upon. In 2014 we launched our own official mobile bol.com app for Android & iOS and which then became the no.1 consumer of the bol.com Open API. Nowadays our bol.com apps are installed on more than 1 million mobile phones and are heavily used. We are currently working on a completely new bol.com Open API based on a different architecture.

We have an open position for an experienced API craftsman that has a clear vision on API development and all subjects involved such as; versioning, security, throttling, authentication, aggregation of data, API testing and documentation. As a Java Software Engineer you have experience in building reactive and resilient APIs.

Who you are
As a Senior Java Developer your technical experience is the basis but equally important is your personality. You have a clear opinion on API related subjects and are willing to share this. On the same time you are open to other suggestions and options. You communicate clearly. You want to be completely responsible for what you have built, as the team will take responsibility all the way up to Production. You enjoy a dynamic environment and perform well autonomously. You work closely together with our Software Engineers, Information Analyst, Architect and Product Owner. Agile and/or Scrum experience preferred!
