(Junior) Java Developer

Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes of a global logistics giant? At cargo-partner, we have built a success story by combining deep logistics expertise with smart digital solutions. Since 1983, we’ve been moving the world, and as of January 2024, we’ve taken a massive leap forward by joining the Nippon Express Group. By joining us, you are joining a Top 5 global logistics leader with a presence in over 50 countries and a team of more than 78,000 professionals. We offer the global reach of a major player with the agility of a small team. Logistics is often called the "invisible backbone" of the economy. If we do our job right, the world never notices. But behind every shipment, every plane, and every warehouse is a massive, pulsing network of software architecture. That’s where you come in. We are looking for a Junior Java Developer to join our Application Development Team,  who loves the "how" as much as the "what." You’ll be the developer who keeps our platforms running smoothly, our codebase clean, and our applications evolving with purpose. This is your chance to move far beyond routine tasks and step into true technical ownership. You’ll build and maintain backend services with Java, Quarkus, and Spring Boot, and craft intuitive frontend experiences using React and Vaadin. Working closely with senior developer, you’ll help refine requirements, shape solutions, and turn ideas into production ready features. We’re looking for a creator, not a passenger. If you’ve got that analytical itch to take a task from first idea to final commit, with accuracy and ownership, you’ll fit right in. If you’re done hearing “that’s how we’ve always done it” and ready to challenge the status quo with smarter code, keep reading.
