A well-established technology consultancy delivering large-scale projects across regulated industries is looking to hire a Senior Java Developer for a major financial services programme.
This role sits within a long-term development project focused on modernising and enhancing core financial platforms in a highly regulated environment. You’ll work across backend services, cloud infrastructure, and modern frontend applications within a collaborative Agile engineering team.
The Role
You’ll work as a hands-on full stack engineer contributing across the full software development lifecycle, from technical design and development through to deployment, testing, and production support.
The environment is heavily cloud-focused, with modern CI/CD practices, containerised deployments, and scalable AWS-native services.
This role would suit someone who is comfortable operating across backend and frontend development, enjoys solving complex technical problems, and wants to work on enterprise-scale systems within financial services.
