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. Build and architect backend systems, own your code from idea to deployment, and collaborate with a skilled team. The ideal candidate possesses deep Java expertise (Spring, Hibernate), strong web fundamentals, SQL fluency, cloud-native thinking, and experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and microservices. 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

Preferred Qualifications

Bonus points: open-source contributions, side projects, or a dev blog we can read
