Madrid is buzzing right now — and this role is for the engineers who still know how to win with the “classic kit.”
A high-traffic, real-world platform in Madrid is looking for a hands-on Java Developer to work on a mission-critical codebase running on Java 7 / Java 8. If you enjoy solving tough problems in mature systems—performance, stability, clean refactoring, and careful delivery—this one will feel like home.
You must speak Spanish (team and stakeholders) and a little English.
Open to people already in Madrid or relocating to Madrid.
What you’ll be doing
- Building and maintaining core backend services in Java 7/8
- Debugging, improving performance, and shipping safely in a production environment
- Working with legacy constraints while still applying modern engineering discipline (testing, clean code, pragmatic refactors)
- Collaborating closely with a local Madrid-based team (hybrid)
What they’re looking for
- Strong commercial experience with Java 7 and/or Java 8 (this is the point of the role)
- Backend fundamentals: APIs, data access, reliability, troubleshooting
- Comfort working in older stacks without complaining—calm, methodical, professional
- Spanish (working proficiency minimum), English (conversational)
Why Madrid / why now
- Join a stable, serious engineering team in Madrid while the city is on a high
- Work that actually matters: systems people rely on, not throwaway projects
- Great fit for engineers who like depth over hype
