Junior Java Developer

Are you ready to kick-start your engineering career on a project that truly makes an impact? We're looking for a Junior Java Developer to join a talented, international team building mission-critical systems that power the backbone of modern Data Centers — from constructing new facilities and designing racks to hardware demand planning, logistics, and ongoing maintenance.
