Job description

Looking to be a leader in an industry-leading company?

Java has been the backbone of software development for years, and I’m seeking a skilled Lead Java Engineer to continue its legacy. In this role, you'll lead alongside another Senior Engineer and a Tech Lead, guiding a team of six juniors to success. Your responsibilities will include mentoring, coaching, and line management, while effectively managing the expectations of both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

You'll work with Java 12 within a Spring Boot framework, operating in a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. Our platform stack utilises Kubernetes on GCP, with infrastructure defined by Terraform and source code managed through GitLab. The ideal candidate will have experience designing and building cloud-native solutions. Beyond technical skills, we value a genuine passion for software craftsmanship and a 'you build it, you run it' mindset, which aligns with our culture.

This is a fully remote role, though we also have a London office available for those who prefer an office environment. We offer a competitive salary, a generous pension contribution, discretionary bonuses, and additional perks.

If this opportunity aligns with your ambitions, apply below. No CV is needed for an initial conversation.

We are a FinTech disruptor with Unicorn status, and a leading MedTech pioneer delivering advanced software solutions.

We value your unique skills, experience, and career goals. Register with us today to kick-start your job search.
