Senior Java Engineer - (UK- Remote)

About this role

This is a remote position.
Senior Java Engineer
We are hiring a Senior Java Engineer to design and build cloud-ready, microservices-based applications for a major banking modernisation programme. You'll work in an Agile team delivering resilient, secure, high-throughput services that sit alongside — and increasingly replace — legacy back-end systems.
What you'll do

• Design, build and maintain Java (17+) services using Spring Boot and a microservices architecture.

• Build and consume RESTful APIs; work with event/streaming and messaging (Kafka, RabbitMQ/JMS).

• Write clean, well-tested code — TDD/BDD, unit and integration testing (JUnit, Mockito).

• Containerise and deploy services (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift) through CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab CI).

• Integrate with relational and/or ​NoSQL data stores (Oracle/PostgreSQL; DB2 a plus given the estate).

• Contribute to solution design, code reviews, and non-functional concerns — performance, resilience, security, observability.

• Collaborate with architects, BAs, testers and product owners; support SIT/UAT and production releases.

Requirements
Essential skills

• 8+ years hands-on Java engineering.

• Strong, current Spring Boot and Spring ecosystem (Spring MVC, Data, Security).

• Proven microservices design and delivery in production.

• REST API design; messaging/streaming (Kafka or similar).

• CI/CD, Docker and Kubernetes/OpenShift; Git.

• Automated testing discipline (JUnit, Mockito; ideally contract/integration testing).

• Comfortable in an Agile/Scrum delivery environment.
