During the initial project, the engineer (you) will have to gain knowledge and skills in our system architecture, APIs, infrastructure, data layer, middleware, etc.

Technology stack:
The main system is built on Java with Dagger on the backend and Spring in API-layer, and hosted on AWS. The integrations need to align to this stack as much as possible
Java: Latest stable version.
Spring API: Focused solely on API development (no Spring Boot).
Ensure data export and system compatibility for all new integrations.
