The role

At Sogeti, you get the space to grow beyond just writing code. As a Lead Java Developer, you work on complex, scalable solutions and actively determine the technical direction within projects. You combine hands-on development with making thoughtful architectural choices, improving quality, and guiding colleagues in their development.

You work with modern technologies such as cloud, CI/CD, and microservices and contribute to solutions that truly matter at large organizations in the Netherlands. At the same time, you are part of a strong Java community, in which knowledge sharing, certification, and substantive depth are central.

Whether you want to grow towards architecture or want to further develop as a technical leader: here you get the space, the trust, and the substance to get the most out of yourself.

Through your experience and vision, you bring structure, improve delivery, and help teams grow in maturity.

Additionally, you look beyond the technology alone. You think along with the client, understand the business context, and know how to link technical solutions to real value.

You get the freedom to further deepen your technical path, continue working hands-on with modern technologies, and continuously develop yourself, both as a developer and in your role towards technical leadership.

What you'll do

  • Working on challenging Java projects at leading organizations, where scalability, performance, and quality are central;
  • The space to translate your technical vision into architecture, design patterns, and best practices;
  • Collaborating with a strong Java community of specialists who share knowledge and continuously make each other better;
  • Unlimited training budget and access to certifications, conferences, and meet-ups;
  • Personal guidance via a dedicated People Manager and a clear development plan;
  • Modern working environment with a focus on cloud, CI/CD, microservices, and clean code.
