You enjoy digging into complex technical puzzles and finding the most elegant way to solve them.
You have a quality-first mindset, but you're also pragmatic-you know how to balance perfect code with the need to deliver real value to our users.
You're someone who genuinely loves to learn and share what you know. We're a dynamic team, and we're looking for someone who wants to grow right alongside us.

The role

You'll spend your time writing and maintaining clean, scalable code in Java or Kotlin, depending on where your team's focus lies.
You won't just "code to spec", you'll use Domain-Driven Design to build features that actually map to the real-world problems we're solving.
You'll help us modernize and refactor legacy parts of our system, ensuring everything stays healthy and performant as we grow.
You'll help raise the bar for the whole team by creating solid testing strategies and participating in a code review culture that's about mentorship, not just nitpicking.

Fledge operates as Fledge EURL, a French entity (VAT FR62894453539).

Fledge's careers page lists open roles in Spain for engineers and product designers, but these appear to be positions at client companies rather than Fledge's own internal hires. The company's website does not provide details about a physical office in Spain or its work culture there. For international professionals, Fledge's relevance lies in its role as a recruiter connecting candidates with tech opportunities in Spain, though specific information about its local operations is limited.
