? Join a FinTech Powering the Future of Payments

Are you an experienced Senior/Principal Java Software Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, agile environment? Passionate about high-throughput, real-time systems? This is your opportunity to help shape the core technology that powers instant payments for some of the world’s largest financial institutions.

We’re hiring on behalf of a leading payments consultancy, delivering cutting-edge solutions that integrate seamlessly with bank infrastructure to enable real-time, secure transactions across the globe.

? What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll join a high-performing engineering team building asynchronous, event-driven systems using modern Java technologies.

• Contribute to architectural decisions in a fast-evolving codebase
• Collaborate within Agile teams (Kanban/Scrum)

? What You Bring

We’re looking for Engineers who are pragmatic, performance-focused, and thrive on solving complex distributed systems problems.

• Strong hands-on experience with Java 11+ (ideally Java 17)
• Solid knowledge of Reactive Programming (e.g., Spring WebFlux, AKKA)
• Experience with event-driven architecture, real-time messaging systems (Kafka, JMS)
• Familiarity with asynchronous request handling, scalability, and system resilience
• Agile mindset, with TDD/BDD and CI/CD experience

Bonus: Background in Banking/Payments is helpful but not required – if you’ve built high-performance, real-time systems, we want to talk to you.

? What’s In It for You

• ? 20% performance bonus
• ? Work with cutting-edge tech on globally impactful systems
• ? Hybrid working – 1–2 days/week in a London office
• ? Opportunity to collaborate with major global banks
• ? Fast-paced, product-led environment where your voice matters
