Job description

Referment is working with a financial services technology company whose platforms underpin mission-critical data workflows for investment managers, banks and service providers. Its managed services team runs high-availability systems that keep trusted, compliant data flowing into client systems such as accounting platforms, order-management systems and data warehouses.

The Role

You’ll join a small, collaborative data services team as a full-stack engineer, designing and building enterprise-grade applications and services with Java and React. The platform connects to thousands of data feeds from hundreds of global sources, and you’ll help maintain the high-availability systems that sit at the heart of clients' operations.

You’ll balance short-term delivery with longer-term architectural goals, working with managed-services colleagues and business stakeholders to turn requirements into scalable, reliable features. You’ll own problems end to end: proposing solutions, making decisions and communicating them clearly, all within a culture of learning, knowledge-sharing and transparency. There's scope to contribute across other languages and frameworks as the team evolves.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong production experience with Java and working knowledge of React.
• A solid understanding of SQL, API-first design and secure programming practices.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• An appreciation for modern UI/UX standards and front-end quality.

Desirable

• Experience with Go, Ruby or Xojo.
• Analytical and organised, comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders.
• A fast learner, adaptable and eager to explore new technologies.

This could suit a full-stack engineer with a Java back end and React front end, or a back-end developer looking to broaden their front-end work in a data-heavy financial environment.
