The opportunity
We're partnering with a large organisation seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help own and evolve a critical POS platform operating across an extensive national store network. Working across Java, Spring and React, you'll contribute to the development, stability and scalability of POS, back-office and wider store systems. The role combines hands-on engineering with complex integrations, production problem-solving and technical leadership. This would suit a strong Senior Engineer ready for greater ownership or a hands-on Tech Lead looking to influence architecture and engineering standards.
What you'll be doing
Designing and developing backend services using Java and Spring
Building and improving user-facing applications with React
Taking ownership of components across POS, back-office and store environments
Integrating with ERP systems, payment gateways, loyalty platforms and enterprise applications
Supporting reliable transaction processing across distributed systems
Investigating production incidents and leading root cause analysis
Improving CI/CD pipelines, testing, releases and deployment automation
Monitoring performance, reliability and platform capacity
Contributing to architecture and technical decision-making
Mentoring engineers and collaborating with technical and business stakeholders
What we're looking for
Strong commercial experience with Java and Spring
Frontend development experience using React
Experience with APIs, integrations and distributed systems
Confidence working with complex, production-critical platforms
Familiarity with CI/CD tooling such as Azure DevOps and Git
Solid database, performance and troubleshooting knowledge
Solid communication and stakeholder management skills
Experience with retail or POS systems, ERP integrations, payments or loyalty platforms would be highly regarded. Exposure to observability tools, scripting, automation, Windows/Linux environments or infrastructure fundamentals would also be beneficial.
Why consider this role?
You'll have genuine ownership of a high-impact platform used across a large retail network, with the opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges and progress towards broader technical leadership or architecture.
