We’re working with a long‑established tech company who are continuing to modernise a complex platform within a highly regulated domain. They’ve built a strong engineering culture around Agile and XP practices, and they’re now looking for a Senior Java Engineer to join one of their Scrum teams.
This is a role for someone who is genuinely hands‑on, enjoys solving tricky problems, and cares about building software the right way – clean code, testing, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
The Opportunity
You’ll join a cross‑functional team working on large‑scale systems that have real‑world impact. Engineering standards are taken seriously here, but it’s not dogmatic – it’s practical, delivery‑focused, and built around doing things sustainably.
Responsibilities
- Mentor other engineers
- Lead by example
- Contribute to good engineering practices
- Help the team deliver reliably
Tech Stack & Practices
The core platform is Java‑based, supported by a modern mix of tooling:
- Java, Spring Boot
- TDD / automated testing
- CI/CD and modern delivery pipelines
- AWS (including serverless approaches in places)
- Docker, Kubernetes
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.)
You don’t need to tick every box – strong Java + good engineering habits are the priority. Exposure to AWS and DevOps tooling is a nice bonus.
What They’re Looking For
- Strong experience building backend systems with Java & Spring Boot
- Comfortable working with TDD and modern engineering practices
- Experience delivering production software in Agile teams
- Someone who enjoys mentoring and helping others grow
- Collaborative mindset – pairing, code reviews, shared ownership
- Bonus points for AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform, etc.
What’s In It For You?
- Remote‑first working with minimal office travel
- Strong salary, bonus and excellent benefits
- A genuinely good engineering culture (not just “Agile” on paper)
- Meaningful work, complex systems, and long‑term platform thinking
- Plenty of room to learn and grow
