Senior Java Engineer Modern Platform Greenfield Work Collaborative Team Hybrid - 3 days onsite (flexible days) Up to 70,000 + benefits (some flexibility for the right person) We're working with a large, well-established organisation who are continuing to build out a modern, evolving platform that supports real-world operational processes at scale. This is a hands-on role within a pure in-house engineering team, offering a strong mix of delivery, collaboration, and technical influence. They're looking for a capable Java engineer who enjoys being close to the code, contributes thoughtfully within a team, and is comfortable working in an environment where delivery and improvement go hand in hand. The Opportunity You'll join a small, collaborative team working on a relatively new system that is still being shaped and evolved. The work includes a healthy mix of new feature development, iteration, and improvement, with room to influence how things are built without the pressure of owning everything. The balance between hands-on delivery and higher-level contribution naturally shifts depending on priorities - some weeks are delivery-heavy, others allow more space for refinement, learning, and improvement. While this role sits at a Senior level , the focus is less on title and more on capability, judgement, and how you approach problem-solving. What You'll Be Working On The platform supports a high-throughput operational environment, where software is used directly in day-to-day processes. This includes Applications supporting workshop and operational workflows Tablet-based interfaces used in live environments Integrations with workforce and process management systems Ongoing development of a relatively new, greenfield platform You'll be joining a team that values pragmatic engineering and steady improvement.

Senior Java Engineer Modern Platform Greenfield Work Collaborative Team Hybrid - 3 days onsite (flexible days) Up to 70,000 + benefits (some flexibility for the right person) We're working with a large, well-established organisation who are continuing to build out a modern, evolving platform that supports real-world operational processes at scale. This is a hands-on role within a pure in-house engineering team, offering a strong mix of delivery, collaboration, and technical influence. They're looking for a capable Java engineer who enjoys being close to the code, contributes thoughtfully within a team, and is comfortable working in an environment where delivery and improvement go hand in hand. The Opportunity You'll join a small, collaborative team working on a relatively new system that is still being shaped and evolved. The work includes a healthy mix of new feature development, iteration, and improvement, with room to influence how things are built without the pressure of owning everything. The balance between hands-on delivery and higher-level contribution naturally shifts depending on priorities - some weeks are delivery-heavy, others allow more space for refinement, learning, and improvement. While this role sits at a Senior level , the focus is less on title and more on capability, judgement, and how you approach problem-solving. What You'll Be Working On The platform supports a high-throughput operational environment, where software is used directly in day-to-day processes. This includes Applications supporting workshop and operational workflows Tablet-based interfaces used in live environments Integrations with workforce and process management systems Ongoing development of a relatively new, greenfield platform You'll be joining a team that values pragmatic engineering and steady improvement. Tech Environment The stack is modern and well-supported: Java / Spring Boot (core focus) React on the frontend OpenShift / Kubernetes for most deployments Full CI/CD pipelines in place A growing amount of AWS-native development DevOps experience isn't a requirement.
