Job description

Java Software Engineer | Complex Systems | Modern Stack | Agile Culture

Remote First (one day a month onsite)

Up to £65,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

We’re working with a long established tech company who are transforming the pensions space with modern platforms, cloud native thinking, and a truly Agile approach. With a growing product suite and some ambitious longterm goals, they’re looking for a talented Java Engineer to help drive technical delivery across a complex and meaningful domain.

The Opportunity

This isn’t your average enterprise gig. You’ll be working on systems that impact millions of people’s financial futures – and the company has a real appetite for engineering excellence. They’ve adopted Agile and XP practices throughout the org, with a strong focus on TDD, pairing, continuous delivery, and a culture of mentoring and collaboration.

You’ll join one of several cross functional Scrum teams, working alongside Product experts, UX Designers, Test Analysts, and Engineers to ship reliable, scalable software that evolves in step with customer needs.

This is a role for someone who enjoys working on complex systems, who thrives in a collaborative environment, and who sees software development as a craft.

You’ll enjoy this role if you:

• Take initiative and enjoy solving challenging problems.

• Have strong Java skills and a curiosity for learning new tools and practices.

• Are an advocate for clean code, test driven development, and Agile methodologies.

• Enjoy mentoring, pairing, and building team culture.

• Want to work somewhere with meaningful work and modern tech.

Tech Stack & Environment

Their core platform is Java based, but they’re working with a modern mix of tools and services including:

• Java, Spring Boot

• React, TypeScript

• AWS, including serverless architectures

• Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Chef

• CICD, GitHub Actions, and more

There’s a strong engineering culture here: think internal guilds, dev communities, regular down tools days (“Hive Days”) to explore new tech, and a real commitment to continuous improvement.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with cloud native serverless solutions (AWS Lambda, etc.)

• Exposure to DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Chef, Kubernetes, etc.)

• A passion for building scalable, secure platforms

What’s in it for you?

Aside from building tech that genuinely helps people, you’ll join a company that values its people. You’ll get a great benefits package, flexible hybrid working, and loads of opportunities to learn and grow (from courses and conferences to regular knowledge sharing days). The culture is sociable and inclusive, with regular events and a real sense of community across the teams.
