Job description

Full Stack Engineer (Java / React)

Tier-1 Bank | Long-term Programme | Sheffield (Hybrid)

This is not a sandbox. This is not a proof of concept that never leaves PowerPoint.

This is real engineering, on a live Tier-1 banking platform, with production impact from day one.

Adept Resourcing are partnering with a Tier-1 bank delivering a major, ongoing KYC transformation programme. We're looking for experienced Full Stack Engineers (Java / React) who are comfortable operating at pace, shipping code regularly, and owning what they build.

Initial 6-month contract, with a strong likelihood of extension. Hybrid working: 3 days per week onsite in Sheffield.

Salary: £525 per day

What you'll actually be doing

• Writing production-grade code in a modern Java + React stack
• Building and supporting microservices-based architectures that are already live
• Designing, building and deploying RESTful APIs at scale
• Shipping changes to production frequently and safely
• Working closely with architects, product and global engineering teams
• Spotting risks early, removing blockers, and communicating clearly when things matter
• Improving how things are done, not just delivering tickets

This is a role for engineers who care about quality, understand trade-offs, and don't need hand holding.

What we're looking for

Essential

• Strong background as a software engineer, not just a coder
• Solid, recent Java experience
• ReactJS front-end experience in real-world applications
• Hands-on delivery within a microservices architecture
• Experience deploying to production at a high cadence
• Proven experience building and consuming RESTful APIs
• Schema design and database experience with PostgreSQL

Nice to have

• Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Exposure to GCP
• Experience in banking or financial services

Why this role stands out

• Tier-1 bank, enterprise scale, real constraints
• Long running programme with runway, not a stop gap contract
• Engineers who deliver matter here
• Clear expectations, strong engineering culture, no nonsense
