Senior Java Developer – Multiple Opportunities

Senior Java Developer – Build at Scale, Shape What’s Next
Belfast | Hybrid | Multiple Roles | Highly Competitive Package

Why This Role?
If you're a strong Java engineer who wants to do more than just code, this is your opportunity to work on some of the most complex, high-impact technology programmes in the UK & Ireland. You’ll be joining a fast-growing, high-performing engineering team delivering large-scale digital transformation projects for major organisations — influencing how they build, scale, and future-proof their technology. This is not BAU. This is modern engineering, real complexity, and visible impact.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Designing and building scalable, cloud-native applications used at enterprise level
  • Solving complex engineering challenges across multiple high-profile programmes
  • Working in Agile, cross-functional teams alongside top-tier engineers, architects, and product teams
  • Building secure, high-performance APIs and microservices
  • Contributing to architecture decisions and technical strategy
  • Driving best practice in clean code, testing, and automation
  • Mentoring others and helping raise the bar across the team
What We’re Looking For
We’re not just looking for experience — we’re looking for engineers who want to push themselves.
Must-have:
  • Strong background in Java development (Spring Boot essential)
  • Experience building REST APIs and distributed systems
  • Solid understanding of OOP, design patterns, clean architecture
  • Experience working with Docker / Kubernetes
  • Exposure to CI/CD and modern DevOps practices
  • Cloud experience (AWS, Azure or GCP)
Big plus if you have:
  • Experience with Kafka / messaging systems
  • Built or worked within microservices architectures
  • Experience scaling systems or handling high-volume environments
  • Interest in emerging tech, automation, or AI-assisted development
What Makes This Different
  • Work on projects that actually matter — large-scale, complex, business-critical
  • Be part of a team that values engineering excellence, not just delivery.
  • Access to cutting-edge tools, tech, and continuous learning
  • Clear path to Senior / Lead / Architect progression
  • A genuinely collaborative, high-performing environment
⚖️ Flexibility That Works
  • Belfast-based with hybrid working
  • Real flexibility around how you structure your week
  • Balance between client exposure, team collaboration, and remote working
Career Growth
You’ll have the opportunity to:
  • Gain certifications and new technical skills
  • Work across multiple industries and technologies
  • Progress quickly based on impact, not tenure
✅ Ready to Step Up?
If you’re looking for a role where you can build better systems, solve harder problems, and accelerate your career, we want to hear from you.
