Job Description

Java Developer, London (on site full-time) Salary £60K+

Our client is a global leader in the creation of software tools for security testing of web applications.

We're looking for developers with a passion for building excellent software and working within a collaborative environment. While Java expertise is essential, your ability to thrive in a team, share knowledge, and engage in open problem-solving discussions is key.

If you're a developer who loves solving hard problems, have experience at top-tier tech companies and are ready for a new challenge, this is for you. You'll have the freedom to make a real impact, working alongside some of the sharpest minds in the industry.

What you'll do:

  • Be one of the founding developers of a new London office, collaborating closely with development teams in our Knutsford HQ.
  • Work in small, cross-functional teams on desktop and enterprise software products.
  • Practise Agile methodologies, with a focus on pair programming, TDD, high-quality code, rapid release cycles, and continuous team retrospectives.
  • solve complex problems in innovative ways, collaborating closely with peers to deliver creative solutions.

Skills you'll need:

  • At least 5 years of hands-on software engineering experience and a proven track record of leadership - whether as a senior developer, tech lead, or through demonstrated examples of taking on contextual leadership in dynamic, fast-paced environments
  • Expertise in Java and experience with tools like IntelliJ IDEA, Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS.
  • Ability to learn new technologies quickly and adapt to different programming stacks.
  • Experience with SQL, API design and JavaScript is beneficial, but not required.
  • Desire to continually grow and evolve your technical and interpersonal skills.
