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
Purpose and scope
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) organizes the documents, records and digital assets that support business operations. It covers capture, classification, storage, search, collaboration, retention and controlled distribution. The goal is reliable information throughout its lifecycle, not simply a shared folder.
Platforms and ecosystem
ECM work may involve Microsoft SharePoint, OpenText, Documentum, Hyland and Alfresco, alongside cloud storage and collaboration services. Strong specialists understand metadata models, permissions, versioning, full-text search and records management. They also connect ECM repositories with Microsoft 365, ERP, CRM and identity systems.
Typical deliverables
Companies use ECM to create governed information spaces for legal files, customer records, contracts, policies and technical documentation. Common deliverables include:
- Content models, taxonomies and metadata standards
- Migration plans and repository consolidations
- Approval workflows, search experiences and access roles
- Retention rules, audit trails and document templates
When expertise matters
Companies often bring in freelance ECM specialists during platform selection, migration, modernization or a major process change. They can clarify requirements, reduce migration risk and configure workflows without disrupting daily operations. In Germany, projects may span distributed business units and require clear coordination between local teams, central IT and external partners.
Connected capabilities
Effective ECM delivery combines information architecture with process analysis, integration and change support. Relevant adjacent skills include API design, identity and access management, Microsoft 365 administration, business process automation and data quality. Experience with multilingual content structures can also matter for organizations working across Germany and international markets.
What strong specialists bring
The strongest professionals connect technical configuration to how people actually create, approve and retrieve information. They document decisions, test permissions and search behavior, and establish ownership for content after launch. Look for evidence of practical migration planning, stakeholder communication, controlled releases and measurable improvements in findability and process consistency.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Enterprise Content Management? Start with the answers below.
Enterprise Content Management is used to capture, organize, secure, find and govern business content across its lifecycle. Companies apply it to contracts, records, case files, policies, technical documents and collaborative work. A specialist can align the repository with the processes that create and use that content.
Enterprise Content Management describes the broader discipline and operating model, while SharePoint is one widely used product within it. A document management system may focus mainly on controlled files, whereas content services can combine repositories, APIs and workflow capabilities. The right choice depends on governance needs, existing systems, user groups and integration scope.
A strong ECM specialist often brings skills in information architecture, metadata design, workflow automation and records management. Integration with Microsoft 365, ERP or CRM systems may require API knowledge and identity management experience. Change communication and user adoption are also important when processes or repositories change.
The required depth depends on the project’s risk and scope. A focused workflow or configuration change may need a specialist with targeted platform knowledge, while a repository migration or governance program calls for experience in taxonomy, permissions, testing and stakeholder coordination. Ask for comparable deliverables rather than relying only on years or product certifications.
Enterprise Content Management work is often suitable for remote collaboration because configuration, documentation and testing can be handled securely online. On-site sessions may still help with workshops, records reviews or complex stakeholder alignment. Agree early on access controls, data handling, working language and the cadence for decisions.
Ask how the specialist would map content types, define metadata, design permissions and validate search results. Strong ECM professionals explain trade-offs clearly, document the target model and include migration, testing and ownership in the plan. References to similar repositories and concrete project artefacts are more useful than broad platform claims.
Bring in an Enterprise Content Management specialist when internal teams lack capacity for platform selection, migration, workflow redesign or governance setup. Freelancers are also useful when a company needs an independent assessment before committing to a product or implementation partner. The earlier they review information structures and dependencies, the easier it is to avoid rework.
Before starting ECM work, a freelancer should clarify the repositories involved, content owners, user groups, security boundaries, retention expectations and integration points. They should also understand whether the goal is modernization, migration, compliance support or process improvement. Access to representative content and decision-makers is essential for realistic design and testing.
