Porto, Portugal | Product Engineering

Why SOFICO?

At SOFICO, we’re shaping the future of mobility — and we’re doing it together.

We are an international Belgian software product company developing Miles, our enterprise platform for automotive finance, leasing, fleet and mobility.

Miles supports complex business processes throughout the full lifecycle of a finance or leasing contract — from quotation and pricing to contract management, billing, assets, services and integrations.

For our growing Product Engineering team in Porto, we are looking for Java backend engineers who want to help evolve Miles and build software that is used as part of a long-term international product.

Your role

As a Software Engineer in our Product organisation, you’ll work on the continued development of Miles and its backend capabilities.

This is a hands-on product development role where you’ll translate business and domain requirements into Java services, APIs and microservice-based solutions.

You won’t simply implement isolated technical tasks. You’ll work closely with other engineers, analysts and internal consumers to understand the business problem behind a feature, contribute to the technical solution and take ownership of what you build.

You’ll be working in a complex enterprise domain where maintainability, scalability, reliability and long-term product evolution matter.

Our engineering landscape includes a large Java ecosystem and an increasing focus on modern backend services, APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture and cloud-native development.

What will you do?

• Design, develop and maintain Java backend services within Miles;
• Translate complex business and domain requirements into scalable software solutions;
• Develop and evolve REST APIs used by other Miles components and integrations;
• Contribute to our microservice architecture and apply Domain-Driven Design principles where appropriate;
• Work with internal API consumers and integrations with external systems;
• Work with synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns depending on the use case;
• Take ownership of functionality from design and implementation through testing, release and production;
• Investigate and resolve issues in existing backend services;
• Write clean, maintainable and well-tested code;
