Java Software Engineer (Energy Sector)

Do you enjoy building real-world software that gets shipped - then sticking around to make sure it actually works?

Do you get satisfaction from solving production issues just as much as writing shiny new features?

Looking for a role that's Java through and through, with a supportive team and proper engineering standards?

We're working with one of our favourite clients, a software specialist operating at the heart of the energy sector. They've recently launched a greenfield CRM and billing platform which is now in production - and they're looking to add a Java Engineer to help shape the next phase of its evolution.

This is a genuine engineering role - you'll be delivering new features, supporting and stabilising the live platform and writing well-documented code and database scripts that make life easier for your teammates down the line.

You'll be joining a collaborative, no-blame culture with a focus on support, continuous learning and improving as a team.

What you'll be doing:

• Developing new features and maintaining a growing CRM and billing platform
• Taking ownership of defect fixes, scripts and system improvements
• Working with a modern Java stack: Java 17, Spring Boot, Maven and MySQL
• Supporting and debugging across the stack (including React when needed)
• Contributing to a strong culture of code reviews, standards and knowledge sharing

What they're looking for:

• Strong Java development experience (Java 17 ideally)
• Previous experience in either the Energy Sector or around Billing/CRM systems is essential
• Commercial experience with Spring Boot, Maven and MySQL
• Ability to write and debug SQL (including data fixes and scripts)
• Comfortable debugging React code (you don't need to be full stack but being open to picking up more front-end responsibilities is a bonus)

Bonus points for:

• React and TypeScript experience
• AWS, Docker, Kubernetes or Kafka exposure
• Experience with MyBatis or Liquibase

So the big question... why join?

• Remote-first role with a strong team culture
• Supportive onboarding and regular knowledge-sharing sessions
• Progression built in - training, mentoring and development planning from day one
• A growing, stable business with investment in engineering and a focus on quality

If you're a hands-on Java Engineer looking to join a collaborative team where your code has impact then as always, you know where we are....
