Senior Back End Developer

Senior Java / Backend Engineer - Greenfield Fintech (London Hybrid)

Location: London (Hybrid)

We’re working with a high-growth fintech accelerator within a major financial services organisation, building brand-new consumer products from the ground up. This is not a legacy transformation programme - these are genuine greenfield builds with a significant roadmap and real product ownership from day one.

We’re looking for Senior and Lead Backend Engineers to help design and build modern, scalable platforms in fast-moving, product-led squads.

Tech environment:

• Spring / Spring Boot
• Observability & distributed tracing tooling

Responsibilities

• Designing and building resilient, distributed systems at scale
• Contributing to architectural direction across new platforms
• Driving performance, reliability, and zero-downtime delivery
• Working closely with product and cross-functional engineering teams

Qualifications

• Strong backend engineering experience (Java/Kotlin preferred)
• Experience with distributed systems and cloud environments
• A strong sense of ownership and engineering quality
• Comfort working in fast-paced, evolving product environments
• Collaborative mindset with a focus on continuous improvement

This is a strong opportunity to join early in multiple greenfield builds, influence technical direction, and help shape both engineering culture and product outcomes as the teams scale.
