We're looking for an experienced Java / API Developer to join a major enterprise transformation program, building high-volume, mission-critical integration services that support millions of customer interactions.

This is a highly hands-on development role suited to an engineer who enjoys spending the majority of their time designing, coding, testing and delivering production-grade Java applications.

You'll work within an experienced Agile engineering team using Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes and Kafka to build modern APIs, microservices and event-driven applications at enterprise scale.

About the Role

As a Java / API Developer, you'll be responsible for the hands-on development and delivery of enterprise integration services.

You'll take solution designs and requirements through to working production code, developing current services and APIs, enhancing existing applications, troubleshooting technical issues and contributing to the ongoing improvement of the platform.

This role will particularly suit someone who is technically strong, still actively coding and wants to remain hands-on rather than move into a purely architecture position.

Key Responsibilities

- Hands-on development of Java and Spring Boot microservices
- Design, build and maintain secure, scalable REST APIs
- Develop enterprise integration and event-driven services using Apache Kafka
- Write clean, maintainable and production-ready Java code
- Build and deploy cloud-native applications across AWS and Kubernetes (EKS)
- Develop automated unit, integration and API tests
- Debug and troubleshoot complex application and production issues
- Optimise application performance,



reliability and scalability
- Work with Docker, CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling
- Participate in code reviews, pair programming and technical problem-solving
- Work closely with Solution Architects and other developers to translate designs into working software
- Contribute to engineering standards and development best practices

Skills & Experience

We're looking for a strong hands-on developer with commercial experience across many of the following:

- Java
- Spring Boot
- REST API development
- Microservices
- Apache Kafka
- AWS
- Kubernetes / EKS
- Event-driven architecture
- Docker and containerisation
- CI/CD pipelines
- Automated testing
- Enterprise integration
- Distributed systems
- Secure software development

Most importantly, you'll be someone who is comfortable getting into the code and building complex backend services, rather than operating primarily at an architecture or management level.

- 6-month contract
- $700-$800 per day (inc. super)
- Hybrid working environment
- Major enterprise cloud transformation program
- Modern engineering stack including Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kafka and Kubernetes
- Complex, high-volume development environment
- Work alongside highly experienced software engineers
- Opportunity to work on mission-critical systems at significant scale
