Senior Java Engineer is required by this international distribution provider as they transform their tech stack and need someone to drive this across design, build and deliver greenfield services, whilst mentoring a small team as they cross-train into Java. You will lead the shift from Legacy code to modern JVM technologies, establish reference architectures, and mentor a transitioning engineering team.
