Job Description
Circle K Business Centre is a shared service center which supports Circle K Europe operations through a wide range of services within Finance & Control, Information Technologies, Human Resources, Transport Fuel and Customer Service. s
Circle K is part of the Canadian company Alimentation Couche Tard Inc. (Couche-Tard), one of the world's largest joint-stock convenience retail companies, listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE). It has operations in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. It has approximately 12,300 sites across its network in North America (U.S. and Canada), Europe (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, the Baltics), Asia and the Middle East. We are a family of more than 100,000 merchants making it easy for our customers around the world.
In the last few years, our continuously growing development teams (currently over 200 skilled IT professionals) have successfully implemented and deployed various software solutions to Circle K customers across Europe and North America. Among the solutions you will find web applications, native mobile applications and technical components.
We are looking for a Full Stack Developer to join the Retail and Digital Channels Development Section at Circle K Global Development. The role sits on the boundary between our cloud-based integration platform and the POS System running in our stores, and covers both sides of that boundary.
On the platform and backend side you will:
Design and implement backend services for the global retail sales platform — domain services, REST/SOAP interfaces, message-driven integrations and data access layers
Design and implement POS functionality using our proprietary development stack (Spring-based backend, custom DSL)
Build and maintain custom extensions, integrations and configurations within the retail platform, avoiding changes to the POS core wherever possible
Work with Data Containers, Master Data distribution and the Service API layer for POS integrations
Implement and configure business processes: checkout flows, payment handling, barcode processing rules and loyalty engine integrations
Contribute to localization and fiscalisation of POS solutions for different European markets
Ensure changes follow proper lifecycle management: versioning, environment promotion (DEV → TEST → PROD)
On the App Enablement side you will:
Develop custom web applications that are launched on the POS and run inside its dedicated embedded browser (JxBrowser/Chromium), integrated through the App Enablement Framework and its JavaScript API bridge
Build the backend endpoints and integration flows those applications depend on, so that a feature is delivered end to end by one team
Extend and maintain our enterprise frontend applications (Employee Hub, Launchpad)
Work within the constraints of in-store hardware and checkout ergonomics — touch input, limited screen real estate, operator speed
You will collaborate with a Technical Product Owner, Solution Architects, QA Engineers, DevOps and numerous skilled developers in an agile, multinational environment.
Must have:
4+ years' Java development experience (Java 8+, ideally Java 11+), including JUnit, JPA/Hibernate, JAX-RS/JAX-WS
Solid Spring Framework experience across both worlds: modern Spring (Boot, Data, Cloud) and legacy Spring with XML/Java-based configuration, annotations and custom extensions
Experience with REST and SOAP interfaces, API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI) and microservice communication patterns
Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL, data modelling)
Working knowledge of at least one modern JavaScript framework (React, Angular, Vue.js, SAP UI5 or similar) and TypeScript — enough to build and maintain production frontend applications
Practical knowledge of Git, CI/CD and version control workflows (Jenkins, Sonar, Gradle)
Understanding of POS systems, retail checkout flows and payment processing concepts
Knowledge and practice in applying design patterns and principles; basics of Domain Driven Design
Experience with agile software development methodologies (SCRUM)
Fluent English and Polish — B2/C1 minimum
Nice to have:
Prior experience with OmniPOS / CLOUD4RETAIL platform
Knowledge of fiscalisation requirements in European markets (Poland, Baltic states, Nordics)
Experience with JxBrowser or other Chromium-based embedded browser engines
Familiarity with Storemanager or similar retail configuration tooling
Experience in loyalty systems integration, mobile payment flows or self-checkout solutions
Experience with NoSQL (MongoDB, Cosmos DB) and Redis
Experience with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Experience with cloud environments, Azure preferred
Knowledge of TDD/BDD approaches (Spock, Mockito, Cucumber)
Understanding of edge computing architectures (central ↔ edge ↔ checkout)
Degree in Computer Science or Engineering
Working as a Developer at Circle K, you will operate within the following technology environment:
Backend (platform): Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Cloud, JPA/Hibernate, PostgreSQL, NoSQL (MongoDB, Cosmos DB), Redis, Azure cloud services
Backend (POS): Spring Framework (legacy version with custom extensions, XML/Java-based configuration, no Spring Boot auto-configuration)
Frontend: enterprise JavaScript framework applications (Employee Hub, Launchpad); React/Angular/Vue.js for custom POS apps
Custom app integration: JxBrowser engine (Chromium 139.x) with JavaScript API bridge
POS configuration: Storemanager, Menu Editor, Data Containers, Barcode Processor rules
Integration: Service API, REST and SOAP interfaces, external loyalty and payment system connectors
