Senior Java Engineer
We are hiring a Senior Java Engineer to design and
build cloud-ready, microservices-based applications for a major banking
modernisation programme. You'll work in an Agile team delivering resilient,
secure, high-throughput services that sit alongside — and increasingly replace
— legacy back-end systems.
What you'll do
- Design, build and maintain Java (17+) services
using Spring Boot and a microservices architecture.
- Build and consume RESTful APIs; work with
event/streaming and messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ/JMS).
- Write clean, well-tested code — TDD/BDD, unit and
integration testing (JUnit, Mockito).
- Containerise and deploy services (Docker,
Kubernetes/OpenShift) through CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab
CI).
- Integrate with relational and/or NoSQL data stores
(Oracle/PostgreSQL; DB2 a plus given the estate).
- Contribute to solution design, code reviews, and
non-functional concerns — performance, resilience, security,
observability.
- Collaborate with architects, BAs, testers and product
owners; support SIT/UAT and production releases.
