Confident handling of relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, DB2)
Experience with testing frameworks (e.g. JUnit, Mockito, WireMock)
Familiarity with modern development processes (Git, code reviews, CI/CD)
Experience with cloud environments (e.g. Azure) and REST interfaces is a plus
Knowledge of bill-of-materials systems, e.g. from mechanical or automotive engineering, is a plus but not required

Independent, self-organized way of working
Strong communication skills and enjoyment of teamwork
Enthusiasm for taking on responsibility and supporting your team both technically and professionally
