£60,000 – £90,000 | Remote-first (monthly meet-up in Midlands office)

We're working with a fast-growing software company that's transforming how businesses manage complex financial workflows. Their AI-first platform helps customers simplify operations, increase transparency, and make smarter decisions — and they're scaling quickly as demand grows.

They're now looking for a Java Developer to join the team and take ownership of building and evolving core product features. This is a product-focused role : you'll be working on customer-facing systems that users interact with every day, not just internal tools or infrastructure. You'll also get the chance to tackle modern engineering challenges that come with developing an AI-powered product at scale.

What you'll be working on

  • Designing and developing backend services in Java with Spring Boot .
  • Building scalable, production-ready systems that power a high-growth product.
  • Deploying and running services in containerised environments ( Docker ).
  • Collaborating closely with product managers and designers to shape and deliver new features.
  • Working on AI-driven functionality , helping to bring intelligence and automation into the product.
  • Taking ownership across the lifecycle — from first commit to running in production.

What we're looking for

  • Strong experience with Java and Spring Boot .
  • Background in building scalable, resilient systems.
  • Experience with Docker and containerised environments.
  • A product mindset: you want to solve user problems, not just ship code.
  • Frontend skills (TypeScript/React) are a bonus, but not essential.
  • No prior AI/ML experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to work on modern, AI-first challenges.

Why join

  • Build a modern AI-first product with real customer impact.
  • Ship fast, iterate quickly, and see your work in production.
  • Remote-first culture with a monthly in-person meet-up in the Midlands.
  • Competitive salary (£60,000 – £90,000) and strong growth opportunities.
