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.
The Senior role is almost entirely hands-on, but they’re looking for someone with the experience and maturity to:
* mentor other engineers
* lead by example
* contribute to good engineering practices
* help the team deliver reliably
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)
* 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
* Someone who enjoys mentoring and helping others grow
* Collaborative mindset — pairing, code reviews, shared ownership
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
