Senior Java Developer / SRE Specialist
We are seeking a Senior Java Developer with strong SRE expertise to join a major production management transformation programme within a global investment bank.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and site reliability, with a focus on modernising how critical banking platforms are designed, built, and operated at scale.
We are specifically looking for a hands-on Java expert who combines deep architectural knowledge with SRE principles – someone who can design robust systems while actively contributing to code, automation, and reliability engineering in a highly regulated environment.
You will play a key role in shaping resilient, scalable Java-based platforms, driving engineering standards, and embedding SRE practices across mission-critical systems.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Develop high-availability, low-latency Java-based systems for critical banking applications
- Lead hands-on development of reliability tooling, automation frameworks, and platform services
- Embed SRE principles (SLIs, SLOs, error budgets) into system design and operations
- Drive observability strategy (monitoring, logging, tracing) across distributed systems
- Design and implement resilient microservices architectures (Spring Boot, event-driven systems, APIs)
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines and release engineering practices
Experience
- Strong experience as a Java Architect / Senior Java Engineer within large-scale, distributed systems
- Proven background in SRE, Production Engineering, or DevOps-focused roles
- Deep expertise in Java (Spring Boot, microservices architecture, REST APIs)
- Strong experience with Kubernetes and containerised environments
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
If you are a Java-focused architect who thrives in hands-on engineering environments and brings a strong SRE mindset around reliability, scalability, and automation, this is an opportunity to shape the future of critical financial systems at scale.
