Full Stack Engineer (Java/Angular)

At Nortal, we think big. We build digital solutions that truly matter — from transforming governments and healthcare systems, to enabling smarter telecom services and helping large enterprises become more agile and competitive.
Our work has already impacted more than half a billion people worldwide, and we’re still just getting started.

Inspired by the experience of turning Estonia into a global digital leader, our mission is to build a Seamless Society — one where technology simply works, quietly and reliably, in the background of everyday life.

To support this mission, we’re looking for a Fullstack Software Engineer (Java/Angular) who enjoys solving meaningful problems and wants to grow together with a strong, collaborative engineering community.

Your role

As a Fullstack Software Engineer at Nortal, you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable fullstack solutions using Java (Spring) on the backend and Angular on the frontend
• Work closely with globally distributed, cross-functional teams in an agile (Scrum/Kanban) environment
• Translate business needs into high-quality technical solutions and articulate their business value
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation, APIs, and user stories
• Analyze end-to-end system flows and contribute to architectural and technical decisions
• Identify and troubleshoot performance issues in distributed systems
• Contribute to improving development practices, tooling, CI/CD, and DevSecOps processes
• Take ownership of your work while actively collaborating and sharing knowledge with others

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a mid-level engineer with 4+ years of professional experience (more is welcome!) who brings solid technical foundations and curiosity to grow further.

Required skills & experience:

• Strong experience with Java / Spring and JavaScript / TypeScript

• Hands-on experience with Angular (experience with React or Vue.js is a plus)

• Experience with cloud-native development (Azure, AWS, or GCP)

• Experience building user-facing features

• Good understanding of relational databases (SQL) and familiarity with NoSQL concepts and trade-offs

• Experience using Git and working in collaborative codebases

• Solid understanding of different programming paradigms (OOP, functional, imperative, declarative)

• Fluent English (spoken and written)

Nice to have:

• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes

• Knowledge of Node.js

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps practices

• Experience with performance, security, and automated testing

Why Nortal?

We like to say Nortal is a right-sized company — big enough to deliver large, impactful projects, yet small enough that your voice truly matters.

At Nortal, you will:

• Work on meaningful projects with real-world impact

• Collaborate with experienced, supportive colleagues in a warm and respectful environment

• Have the freedom to bring your ideas to life without unnecessary bureaucracy

• Grow professionally through challenging work that’s globally relevant and transferable

• Be part of an agile, low-hierarchy culture — heavy on common sense, light on rules, where substance matters more than titles
