Principal Java Engineer - Belfast (Hybrid)

We’re hiring a Principal Java Engineer for one of the most interesting product engineering teams in Belfast. This is a genuine principal-level role - not a senior engineer with a better title.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading the design and delivery of large-scale, distributed backend systems in Java
• Taking end-to-end ownership of complex engineering initiatives from conception through to production
• Defining and driving architectural standards across the engineering organisation

• Deep, hands-on AWS expertise - not just familiarity. We’re talking EC2, EKS, Lambda, SQS, S3, RDS, CloudFormation, and beyond
• Strong grasp of distributed systems design: event-driven architecture, microservices, fault tolerance, and performance at scale
• Experience with Spring Boot and modern Java frameworks
• Solid SQL and database design skills (PostgreSQL a plus)
• CI/CD maturity - Jenkins, GitHub, Terraform or similar
• The ability to communicate technical complexity clearly to both engineers and non-engineers

Nice to have:

• Experience with Kotlin or Scala
• Familiarity with data pipelines, reporting systems, or analytics platforms
• Prior experience in a staff or principal IC role

We’re a global product company with a Belfast engineering team that punches well above its weight. You’ll work on problems at a scale most Belfast roles simply don’t offer - and you’ll do it with a team that cares deeply about the craft.
