Last position:
Backend Software Developer (Java) at German Football Association (DFB) e. V.
- Client: Prime Force Group GmbH
Technologies used: Java 25, Spring Boot 4, MapStruct, JSpecify, PostgreSQL, Redis, Liquibase, REST/OpenAPI, Apache Kafka, Apache Solr, OpenID Connect via IronGate/Keycloak, SAP Customer Data Cloud, JUnit, Testcontainers, Karate, Playwright, GitLab monorepo with CI/CD, Jenkins, JFrog Artifactory, FluxCD, Docker, Kubernetes on Azure, OpenTelemetry, arc42, Jira, Confluence
The Team Management Center is the new central platform of the DFB for planning, managing, and carrying out team activities for the national teams - from squad selection and training camps to communication with players, clubs, and legal guardians. The platform is designed for multi-tenancy for the DFB and regional associations; player, club, and master data are intentionally not copied, but connected at runtime via the DFBnet APIs.
I have been involved in the project continuously since the architecture and concept phase (Sprint 0) and work in a distributed Scrum team in two-week sprints. In addition to implementation, my focus is on architecture alignment, connecting the DFBnet interfaces, as well as code reviews and test automation as quality assurance in the team.
Focus areas:
- Development and implementation of the multi-tenancy concept (tenant model for the DFB and regional associations), including data model, access layer, and Liquibase migrations.
- Design of the person service and the search concept based on Apache Solr.
- Integration of the DFBnet APIs (player, person, and club search, club data), including authentication and synchronous master data synchronization.
- Hardening the integration through resilience patterns: separate read timeouts for each search path, correction of circuit breaker counting, limiting parallel requests, and a club cache to reduce load on the external system.
- Development of self-service endpoints for players (own activities, activity details, games), including an access concept for participants, as well as person documents and file uploads.
- Standardization of API design: OpenAPI annotations, nullability model via a custom ModelConverter, JSpecify migration of the DTOs, and documented API guidelines.
- Build and maintenance of Karate-based API and integration tests, integration tests with Testcontainers, test guidelines, and bug triage from the integration and reference environments.
- Code reviews via merge requests, architecture documentation according to arc42, and architecture decisions (ADRs) in Confluence.
- Automated deployment to the integration and reference environments, analysis of login and OIDC issues in combination with IronGate.
Status: ongoing - as of 08/2026 in Sprint 17, around 940 person hours worked; testable delivery to the integration environment every two weeks.

About the technology
What ECM covers
Enterprise Content Management, often called ECM, organizes the documents, records and business content an organization creates, receives and uses. It combines capture, classification, storage, search, version control, retention and controlled access. The aim is a trusted content lifecycle rather than disconnected file shares.
Platforms and tools
ECM work can involve OpenText Content Management, Documentum, Microsoft SharePoint and custom services around them. Strong specialists understand metadata models, taxonomies, permissions, APIs, workflow engines and records management. They also connect content services with identity providers, ERP, CRM, email and collaboration environments.
Typical deliverables
Companies use Enterprise Content Management to create structured, searchable content processes across departments and locations.
- Document and records repositories with metadata and retention rules
- Approval, review, case and contract workflows
- Scanning, OCR, classification and content migration
- Search experiences with permissions-aware results
- Integrations with SAP, Microsoft 365 and line-of-business systems
When specialists help
Freelance expertise is valuable during platform selection, migrations, implementation and remediation of poorly governed repositories. Companies also bring in specialists when business teams need faster document access, audit-ready records or consistent processes across subsidiaries. In Germany, projects often span regulated industries, multilingual content and distributed stakeholder groups.
Skills that matter
A capable professional combines information architecture with practical delivery skills. They can translate business rules into content types, metadata, lifecycle policies and workflow states, then configure or extend the chosen platform safely. Relevant knowledge may include REST APIs, integration patterns, identity and access management, cloud services, OCR and data migration.
Judging quality
Look for a clear discovery method, a documented content model and decisions tied to measurable business needs. Ask how the specialist handles permissions, retention, migration validation, search relevance and user adoption. For remote collaboration in Germany, strong written communication, reliable workshops and comfort with German and English stakeholders can be as important as platform knowledge.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Enterprise Content Management? Start with the answers below.
Companies use Enterprise Content Management to capture, organize, govern and retrieve documents, records and other business content. Common projects include contract workflows, invoice processing, case files, controlled publishing, records retention and enterprise search.
Enterprise Content Management is a broad approach that covers content governance, lifecycle management, workflows and records, while document management focuses mainly on storing and controlling files. SharePoint can provide ECM capabilities, but its suitability depends on the required information model, integrations, compliance controls and user experience.
A strong ECM specialist often brings information architecture, taxonomy design, workflow modeling and records management skills. Experience with Microsoft 365, SAP, CRM integrations, identity management, OCR, APIs and migration tools is also useful.
A reliable Enterprise Content Management freelancer should have handled work comparable in complexity to the planned repository, workflow or migration. Ask for evidence of discovery, configuration, integration, testing, migration validation and handover rather than relying only on familiarity with a product name.
Yes, Enterprise Content Management projects can often be delivered remotely through structured workshops, shared backlogs and secure access to test environments. On-site sessions may still help with stakeholder interviews, records reviews or process mapping, especially when teams are spread across German locations.
For ECM work in Germany, language needs depend on the stakeholders, source content and documentation standards. German may be important for workshops, policies and user guidance, while English can be sufficient for technical coordination with international teams.
Assess how the Enterprise Content Management professional asks about content ownership, metadata, permissions, retention, search and adoption before proposing a solution. A good specialist explains trade-offs clearly, documents decisions and defines tests for workflows, integrations and migrated content.
Documentum or OpenText Content Management may suit organizations with complex records, regulated processes, high content governance needs or established enterprise integrations. The right choice depends on operating constraints, existing skills, migration effort, workflow depth and the needs of content owners.
