Job Description:
MCS Group is thrilled to be partnering with a fast-growing, forward-thinking tech company that's building a globally-used product utilised across multiple industry sectors. With significant investment secured and major scaling plans already underway for 2025, they're looking for a Principal Java Developer to play a pivotal role in the evolution of their core software platform.
As their Principal Java Engineer, you'll join a small yet collaborative, high-performing software engineering team and take ownership of a critical product area. You'll be at the forefront of architecture and development while mentoring the next generation of software talent and less experienced software engineers -all under the guidance (and support) of a visionary Head of Engineering and CTO.
If you're looking for a role where you can lead, innovate, and make a real impact, this could be the move for you.
Why You Should Apply:
* Be part of a compact, agile team that punches well above its weight
* Lead in a fast-paced environment where your ideas and impact will be visible
* Shape best practices and push cloud-native solutions forward
* Enjoy fast-tracked career progression in a well-funded business which is scaling
What You'll Be Doing:
* Architect and build complex, scalable applications using modern Java and AWS services
* Set and uphold engineering standards across the team
* Collaborate closely with product and hardware teams to deliver secure, high-performance systems
* Mentor and support junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning
* Stay at the cutting edge-bring new ideas, tools, and methods into the team
What We're Looking For:
* Deep experience with Java (latest versions), Spring Boot, and microservices
* Strong hands-on knowledge of event driven systems
* Experience of working in scaling tech companies and/or product-focused tech start-ups will be highly advantageous
* Natural leadership skills with a passion for mentoring and team development
* A problem-solver with a drive for clean, modern software engineering
What's in it for You:
* Salary up to £90,000
* Share options
* Flexible hybrid working (2 days in office per week)
* Huge opportunity for growth and progression
