Senior Java Cloud Engineer (AWS Microservices)
Hybrid Working | 3 Days Onsite | Bracknell Area
I’m working with a genuinely interesting technology business developing connected digital platforms used by customers globally.
They’re expanding their cloud engineering capability and looking for a Senior Java Cloud Engineer to take ownership of backend services that support mobile applications, connected devices and large-scale data platforms.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll be designing and building secure, scalable cloud services used in real-world products. It would suit someone who enjoys working across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure and API-driven platforms.
The Opportunity
You’ll be working on a sophisticated AWS-based platform that integrates mobile applications, connected devices and secure data services.
The environment is technically strong, collaborative and delivery-focused, with real ownership at senior engineer level.
There’s also exposure to regulated development environments, so experience working within secure or high-reliability systems is valuable.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Designing and developing backend services using Java and AWS
* Building scalable REST APIs and microservices
* Managing PostgreSQL databases and optimising performance
* Implementing secure authentication frameworks including OAuth
* Developing event-driven services using AWS Lambda
* Managing infrastructure using Terraform
* Supporting CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployment
* Working closely with mobile, QA and product teams
* Contributing to system reliability, scalability and security
* Providing technical guidance and mentoring within the team
What They’re Looking For
* Strong commercial Java backend development experience
* Solid experience working with AWS cloud services
* Experience designing REST APIs and microservices
* Good understanding of distributed systems and cloud architecture
* Database experience (PostgreSQL or similar)
* Experience using Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform
* Experience working within Agile environments
Nice to have
* Experience supporting mobile platforms or connected products
* Experience working in regulated or security-focused environments
* Exposure to DevOps or CI/CD pipelines
Why This Role Stands Out
* Modern AWS cloud environment
* Real product impact, not internal systems
* Strong technical ownership
* Collaborative engineering culture
* Hybrid working model
* Long-term platform development roadmap
If this sounds like something you’d be open to exploring, feel free to get in touch.
Happy to share more detail confidentially.
