What are we looking for? 🔎

• Strong experience with Java, SQL, and Spring / Spring Boot.
• Solid understanding of Git and CI/CD pipelines.
• API design and development (REST / OpenAPI).
• As this is central to the role, we want someone who cares about clear, well-versioned, dependable interfaces.
• Experienced in evaluating trade-offs between solution design, quality, and timeframes.
• Comfort working in large, established codebases.
• This includes reading unfamiliar code, understanding existing frameworks, and making careful, incremental changes rather than rewriting from scratch.
• Practical experience in Domain-Driven Design, including working with domain experts to build well-aligned, maintainable systems.
• A collaborative way of working. This means enjoying being in the office with the team as required, working through pair and mob programming when it helps, communicating openly, and constructively challenging ideas.
