Job Description
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 new 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
Microservices
AWS
Event‐driven architecture
Docker and containerisation
Automated testing
Distributed systems
Performance optimisation
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.
What's on Offer?
6-month contract
Hybrid working environment
Major enterprise cloud transformation program
Modern engineering stack including Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kafka and Kubernetes
Work alongside highly experienced software engineers
Opportunity to work on mission‐critical systems at significant scale
If you're a robust hands‐on Java developer with experience building APIs, microservices and cloud‐native applications and you're looking for your next enterprise contract,
