Salient has partnered with an established Australian fintech as it continues to modernise and scale the SaaS platforms used to administer complex financial products and investor services.
This isn’t a role where you’ll maintain one small part of a legacy system. You’ll build and improve business-critical software, contribute to architectural decisions and take genuine ownership from design through to production.
Why engineers are joining
- Modern Java engineering. Build production services using Java 21, Spring Boot, REST APIs and event-driven architecture.
- Solve meaningful problems. Work on complex fintech products where reliability, security and data integrity genuinely matter.
- Own the outcome. Contribute across design, development, testing, deployment and production support.
- Work in the cloud. Build and operate services across AWS, containers and modern CI/CD environments.
- Use AI practically. Apply tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor or Claude to improve coding, testing, debugging and documentation, while maintaining strong engineering judgement.
- Long-term opportunity. Join permanently and help shape the engineering practices of a growing Australian product business.
What you’ll build
You’ll design and develop Java and Spring Boot services supporting a complex, cloud-based fintech platform.
You’ll work across APIs, microservices, asynchronous processing and event-driven systems, partnering with product and engineering teams to turn business requirements into reliable production software.
You’ll ideally have:
- Strong commercial experience with Java and Spring Boot
- Excellent object-oriented programming and software-engineering fundamentals
- Experience designing and building REST APIs and microservices
- Exposure to Kafka or other event-driven/messaging technologies
- Commercial experience with AWS
- Enough Angular experience to understand an existing codebase and resolve support issues
- Experience with relational databases and application performance
- Strong testing, debugging and production-support capability
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools productively and responsibly
- A background in SaaS, fintech, financial services or another complex product workplace
- Strong communication skills and the ability to take ownership without heavy direction
