*Java, Spring Boot

*TDD/automated testing

*CI/CD and modern delivery pipelines

*AWS (including serverless approaches in places)

*Docker, Kubernetes

*Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.)

You don’t need to tick every box - strong Java + good engineering habits are the priority. Exposure to AWS and DevOps tooling is a nice bonus.

What They’re Looking For

*Strong experience building Back End systems with Java & Spring Boot

*Comfortable working with TDD and modern engineering practices

*Experience delivering production software in Agile teams

*Someone who enjoys mentoring and helping others grow

*Collaborative mindset - pairing, code reviews, shared ownership

*Bonus points for AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Terraform, etc.

What’s In It For You?

*Remote-first working with minimal office travel

*Strong salary, bonus and excellent benefits

*A genuinely good engineering culture (not just “Agile” on paper)

*Meaningful work, complex systems, and long-term platform thinking

*Plenty of room to learn and grow
