Why SOFICO?
At SOFICO, we’re shaping the future of mobility - and we’re doing it together. Our software, Miles, is a leading platform that enables companies worldwide to manage their leasing, fleet, and mobility operations in one integrated system. Every day, we help our customers work smarter, more efficiently, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.
Behind that impact is a close-knit, international team that values collaboration, ownership, and continuous growth. We move forward with ambition but stay grounded in a culture where people support each other and take pride in what they build.
As our platform continues to grow, secure identity and access across our products and services is becoming increasingly important.
From our office in Ghent, we’re looking for a Senior Java Backend Engineer - IAM & Keycloak who combines strong backend engineering skills with hands-on experience in Identity & Access Management and application security.
You’ll help evolve the IAM foundation of the Miles platform while continuing to build and improve secure, scalable Java backend components used across our international product ecosystem.
What you’ll do...
- Design, build and maintain Java backend services and platform components supporting authentication, authorization and identity management across the Miles ecosystem.
- Integrate and customise Keycloak and implement secure identity flows using OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and SAML.
- Design secure integrations between microservices, applications and customer environments, with a strong focus on authentication, authorization and access control.
- Act as a senior technical contributor in IAM and security discussions, translating business and security requirements into robust backend solutions.
- Work closely with engineers, Product Owners and customers to improve our IAM architecture, engineering standards and security practices.
What you bring...
- Strong senior-level Java backend engineering experience, including enterprise applications, microservices and modern Java frameworks.
- Hands-on experience with Keycloak or a comparable IAM platform, combined with solid knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and SAML.
- Strong understanding of application security, authentication, authorization, access control and secure service-to-service communication.
