Senior Java Software Engineer
Base Pay: £75,000 (BOE)
Location: Bristol, England, United Kingdom
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help design, build, and scale the cloud‑based platforms that power our methane detection and emissions intelligence systems. You’ll work with high‑volume data from mobile survey equipment and telemetry from low‑cost sensors across the gas network, developing performant, resilient backend services that turn complex data into actionable insights for utilities.
You’ll be part of a lean, collaborative startup team where innovation, reliability, and real‑world impact all matter. Occasionally you may contribute to 3rd‑line support, giving you insight into how your systems perform in production, and you may engage with customers and partners to help translate technical possibilities into practical solutions.
What Success Looks Like
You’ll build backend systems that integrate survey, geospatial, and emissions data into a single, trusted platform. Fast, reliable releases, scalable cloud infrastructure, and mentoring peers will be key. Most importantly, your work will have a measurable impact, helping gas networks prioritise repairs and reduce methane emissions.
What We’re Looking For
* 7+ years’ experience in backend engineering.
* Strong experience with modern Java (21+) and RESTful frameworks.
* Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases.
* Experience with CI/CD, containerisation, and testing frameworks.
* Clear communicator, able to explain complex ideas and collaborate across teams.
* Passion for technology that drives sustainability and positive environmental impact.
* Experience with PostGIS, time‑series or geospatial data.
* Familiarity with distributed microservices architectures.
* Exposure to methane detection, energy, or environmental data.
* Lean development mindset and experience mentoring others.
