£50,000 – £60,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
We’re partnering with a long-established technology business building modern platforms at the heart of a complex, highly regulated domain. With continued growth across their product suite, they’re now looking for two Java Software Developers to join their engineering teams.
This isn’t a traditional enterprise development role. You’ll be working on large-scale, business-critical systems in an environment that genuinely values engineering craft, collaboration and continuous improvement.
Agile and XP practices are embedded across the organisation, with a strong focus on TDD, pairing, continuous integration and shared ownership.
You’ll be part of a cross-functional Scrum team, working closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, Test Analysts and fellow Engineers to build and enhance reliable, scalable software.
You’ll also be encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge existing approaches and get involved in how the team continues to improve its engineering practices.
The main requirement is solid commercial Java development experience and good software engineering fundamentals.
You don’t need to arrive as an expert across their entire technology stack. They’re particularly interested in Developers who:
The core platform is Java-based, supported by a modern and evolving stack:
You won’t be expected to know everything listed above. Strong Java fundamentals, a good approach to software engineering and a willingness to learn are much more important.
There’s a strong internal engineering culture with communities of practice, regular knowledge sharing and dedicated innovation days focused on learning and experimentation.
