Job description

We are partnering with a key client who is seeking a Java Support Engineer to join their growing team on a contract basis.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in secure managed services or production support environments, possess a strong understanding of Linux-based systems and CI/CD pipelines, and be confident supporting both application-level issues and platform-level challenges.

You will be embedded within a collaborative team responsible for:

• Maintaining, monitoring, and improving live services within a classified environment
• Supporting build, test, and deployment pipelines across multiple development teams
• Troubleshooting production issues, conducting root cause analysis, and responding promptly to incidents
• Managing infrastructure using modern Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tooling and container platforms
• Ensuring high system availability and responsiveness across multiple data centre environments

Technical Environment Includes:

• Java, Maven, NPM for application builds
• Cypress for automated testing
• Git for source control
• Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure configuration
• OpenShift, RHEL/CentOS, and Docker for deployment targets
• InfluxDB and Grafana for monitoring and observability
• Oracle (or equivalent RDBMS), AMQP, and S3-compatible object storage systems

** Please note this role requires active UK*C DV Clearance.

Hold the necessary clearance but feel this role isn't quite right for you?

iO have multiple roles across a variety of clients and we are therefore keen to hear from anyone who would be open to working on a Hybrid basis in either Cheltenham, Bristol, Manchester, Milton Keynes or London.
