Tech Lead (Java)

Yes, you can! That's our attitude towards our work, ambitions, ideas, and relationships. We at Luminor believe that anyone has the potential to achieve big things and encourage everyone to achieve them, professionally and personally.

Whoever you are and whatever your role is, with Luminor, you will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a local banking champion.

We are looking for a Tech Lead (Java) to play a key role in the design and delivery of new corporate lending ecosystem. The position combines strong technical leadership with hands‑on contribution.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking ownership, likes to participate in making architectural decisions and defining engineering standards, as well as guiding and supporting other team members in execution phase. You are a good match if you are also not afraid to roll up your sleeves and dive into complicated problems when others get stuck, or participate in everyday engineering tasks to get things done!

You will join a team of experienced engineers and contribute to building pan-Baltic systems that are business‑critical, in a domain where correctness, stability, and scalability truly matter.

• Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and engineering pride in Corporate Lending technology team.

• Technically lead and mentor a team of Java developers, perform code reviews, define coding standards, and facilitate sharing the best practices.

• Represent the Corporate Lending domain in cross‑team architectural discussions. Lead technical design discussions and help to make pragmatic trade‑offs between business needs, risk, and long‑term sustainability.

• Stay hands‑on where it matters most, be it developing new features, investigating complex technical issues, or doing a deep dive into why a legacy system process failed.

• Help make sensible decisions, needed to keep the legacy systems “lights on” while investing most of the efforts into getting the new ecosystem ready.

• Minimum of 5 years of practical experience as a full stack engineer developing and deploying Java applications.

• At least 2 years of experience as a Tech Lead, Solution Architect, or senior Java engineer working with complex highly integrated systems.

• Excellent knowledge of Java, Spring Framework, and Spring Boot.

• Solid hands‑on experience with microservice‑based architectures and API‑driven systems.

• A pragmatic mindset – you care about clean, maintainable solutions rather than theoretical perfection.

• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Experience in banking, lending, or other highly regulated domains is an advantage.

• Fluent English in spoken and written communication due to working on a Pan-Baltic level.

Our Technology Stack:

• Back-end: Java 21+(LTS), Spring Boot / Spring Framework; microservices architecture

• Front-end: React and Svelte

• APIs & integration: REST APIs, event-driven integration (Kafka)

• Data: relational databases (PostgreSQL), caching (Redis)

• Cloud & runtime: containerized workloads (Docker), Kubernetes, AWS

• CI/CD & quality: GitLab CI, automated pipelines, unit/integration tests, code quality & security scanning

• Observability: Prometheus/Grafana stack with OpenTelemetry.

You'll have the chance to play a key technical leadership role in a complex and meaningful business domain, and work side-by-side with an experienced technology delivery team.

• Flexibility. Flexible working hours, Hybrid work, and the possibility to work from anywhere in the EU, Iceland, Switzerland, and the UK (in total 90 days per year)

• International teams. Teams that go outside Pan-Baltic borders, where people value challenging work together with good humor and having fun

• Culture. You’ll be joining a team where things move fast, ideas flow freely, and change is part of the everyday. It’s a dynamic environment that keeps you learning, growing, and never bored

• More vacation. Additional weeks of vacation are available to all employees who have been in the company for 1 year or more
