Summary

Join a UK-based development agency as a Senior Java Engineer to build cutting-edge solutions for FinTech companies and startups. Work remotely in a small team with big exposure, enjoying diverse projects and tech stacks.

Bonus points for open-source contributions or a dev blog. If you love clean code, scalable systems, and want your work to matter, apply now.

Requirements

• A Comp Sci degree (or equivalent serious fundamentals)
• Deep Java expertise (Spring, Hibernate—yes, but more than just boilerplate knowledge)
• Sharp web fundamentals—HTML, CSS, JS (you won’t live there, but you get it)
• SQL fluency (MySQL, Postgres)
• Cloud-native thinking (AWS, Azure, GCP—you’ve worked with at least one)
• Docker, Kubernetes, microservices—this isn’t new to you
• Agile instincts and Git habits that make your teammates love you

Responsibilities

• Build and architect backend systems that are reliable, scalable, and fast-as-hell
• Own your code—from idea to deploy (and even into prod)
• Collaborate with designers, product leads, and frontend devs who get it
• Review pull requests like a boss
• Solve real problems. Not Jira ticket busywork
