Qualifications

• 5+ years of senior‑level Java engineering with ownership of services.
• Strong Spring Boot production experience with transactional boundaries and JVM tuning.
• Distributed‑systems thinking: async messaging, idempotency, retries, ordering, eventual consistency.
• Domain‑driven design and event‑sourcing patterns.
• Contract‑first API design with OpenAPI and deep PostgreSQL expertise.
• Production experience on Kubernetes with GCP (Pub/Sub/Cloud Run).
• Test‑driven mindset with unit, integration, and contract testing.
• Mentoring and raising engineering standards through reviews and design docs.

Responsibilities

• Own backend services end‑to‑end on a distributed Java platform.
• Design domain events and service integrations with clear boundaries.
• Extend shared platform libraries used across services.
• Write well‑tested code across unit, integration, and contract tests.
• Drive performance, reliability, and capacity planning initiatives.

You’ll Love This Job If You Like To

• Own services end‑to‑end on a modern Java + Spring Boot platform — design, implementation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Design domain events and the integrations between services — event types, processors, idempotency, and eventual‑consistency boundaries.
• Extend the shared platform libraries — auth, async tasks, common infrastructure — that every service in the company depends on.
• Write code that is genuinely tested — strong unit, integration, and contract testing as part of the development loop.
• Drive performance and reliability work, including query optimisation, debugging distributed flows, and capacity planning.
• Raise the engineering bar through code review, technical design docs, and mentoring mid‑level engineers.
• Work across a modern stack: Java (latest LTS), Spring Boot 3.x, Spring Cloud GCP, Kubernetes (GKE), PostgreSQL with a domain‑event model, and contract‑first APIs with OpenAPI.
• Work closely with frontend engineers on the Next.js application when shipping features that cross the boundary.
  

What You’ll Need To Be Successful

• 5+ years of senior‑level Java engineering with proven production ownership of services real users depend on.
• Strong Spring Boot in production — fluent on transactional boundaries, connection pools, JVM tuning, and how things break under load.
• Distributed‑systems thinking — async messaging, idempotency, retries, ordering, eventual consistency, and clean bounded contexts.
• Comfort with domain‑driven design and event‑sourcing patterns, designing domain events that capture state transitions.
• Contract‑first API design with OpenAPI, deep PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, migrations under load).
• Production experience running services on Kubernetes, with hands‑on experience on a major public cloud (GCP preferred).
• Strong testing discipline and extensive experience converting business requirements to technical requirements.
• Track record of mentoring, raising the engineering bar, and excellent written and spoken English.
• Spring Cloud GCP/Pub/Sub/Cloud Run, reusable internal libraries, React/Next.js knowledge, or IP/legal‑tech/regulated B2B SaaS exposure all an advantage.
