We're working with a long-established tech company who are continuing to modernise a complex platform within a highly regulated domain. They've built a strong engineering culture around Agile and XP practices, and they're now looking for a Senior Java Engineer to join one of their Scrum teams.

This is a role for someone who is genuinely hands-on, enjoys solving tricky problems, and cares about building software the right way - clean code, testing, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

The Opportunity

You'll join a cross-functional team working on large-scale systems that have real-world impact. Engineering standards are taken seriously here, but it's not dogmatic - it's practical, delivery-focused, and built around doing things sustainably.

The Senior role is almost entirely hands-on, but they're looking for someone with the experience and maturity to:

**mentor other engineers

**lead by example

**contribute to good engineering practices

**help the team deliver reliably

Tech Stack & Practices

The core platform is Java-based, supported by a modern mix of tooling:

**Java, Spring Boot

**TDD / automated testing

**CI/CD and modern delivery pipelines

**AWS (including serverless approaches in places)

**Docker, Kubernetes

**Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.)

You don't need to tick every box - strong Java + good engineering habits are the priority. Exposure to AWS and DevOps tooling is a nice bonus.

What They're Looking For

**Strong experience building backend systems with Java & Spring Boot

**Comfortable working with TDD and modern engineering practices

**Experience delivering production software in Agile teams

**Someone who enjoys mentoring and helping others grow

**Collaborative mindset - pairing, code reviews, shared ownership

**Bonus points for AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform, etc.

What's In It For You?

**Remote-first working with minimal office travel

**Strong salary, bonus and excellent benefits

**A genuinely good engineering culture (not just "Agile" on paper)

**Meaningful work, complex systems, and long-term platform thinking

**Plenty of room to learn and grow
