Strong backend experience with Java and Spring Boot
Experience working on production systems at scale
Ability to debug, diagnose and resolve real world issues
Comfortable working with complex or legacy systems and improving them incrementally
A track record of stability in previous roles and an interest in long term ownership

Why this role:

Small team with genuine ownership and impact
Engineers influence how systems are built and improved
Focus on quality and long term engineering rather than short term delivery
Opportunity to shape the evolution of a high impact platform
