Full Stack Java Engineer

We’re looking for a Full Stack Java Developer with AI-first mindset

At aNewSpring, we are looking for an enthusiastic Full Stack Java Developer with a strong affinity for front-end development using Vue.js and hands-on experience with agentic software development (e.g., AI-assisted coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot). Your mission will be to make sure our platform keeps on expanding in a stable way, help us in our transition to a more modern front-end using Vue.js, and champion the adoption of agentic development practices within the team.

Are you a professional like no other when it comes to Java? Does the Composition API of Vue hold no secrets? Can you read and write Tailwind-classes blindfolded? Do the WCAG 2.0 guidelines hold no secrets for you? And are you able to command an army of coding agents to reach your desired outcome?

We’re aNewSpring, a Dutch EdTech company on a mission to make learning smarter, more effective and way more fun. Our platform helps over 1,000 training providers around the world design inspiring learning journeys. Together, we’re making a real difference for thousands of learners and yes, we’re pretty proud of that!

Together with your Engineering team of Developers, a QA Engineer and a Designer, you’ll be playing a big part in shaping how we build software. Your key responsibilities include:
– Leading our ongoing transition to a more modern UI and UX, built on (Prime)Vue
– Ensuring customers get access to the best possible experience on web and mobile, using your expertise in Vue.js and Tailwind
– Championing agentic software development practices and guiding the team in adopting AI-assisted development tools
– Challenging and improving our coding and quality standards based on your experience

You’re someone who takes ownership and loves a challenge. You’re not just a follower — you know how to stick to a plan, but you also come up with creative solutions when needed. You’re analytical, result-oriented, and always eager to learn. That mindset is what makes you and aNewSpring a perfect fit.
What we’re looking for:
– At least five years of experience building Java web applications with a strong understanding of MySQL
– Multiple years of experience with ES6+ and/or TypeScript
– Previous working experience with a modern JavaScript framework like Angular, Svelte, or Vue.js (Vue.js specifically is highly valued)
– Experience with modern CSS (Tailwind experience is highly valued)
– Professional experience with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot
– A team player who enjoys working on the entire development process, from design to implementation and testing
– Fluent in English
– Able to be in the office in Skopje on a regular basis
