About the role
This is a remote position.
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.
Requirements
Essential skills
* 8+ years hands-on Java engineering. * Strong, current Spring Boot and Spring ecosystem (Spring MVC, Data, Security). * Proven microservices design and delivery in production. * REST API design; messaging/streaming (Kafka or similar). * CI/CD, Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift; Git. * Automated testing discipline (JUnit, Mockito; ideally contract/integration testing). * Comfortable in an Agile/Scrum delivery environment.
