Database Developer

Your new company

You'll be joining a leading technology consultancy partnering with a major financial services organisation on a high-impact programme to strengthen fraud detection capabilities. The team is driving a key initiative to migrate from Aerospike to AWS cloud-native databases while integrating Databricks for sophisticated back-testing of fraud detection models. This is a forward-thinking, engineering-driven environment where innovation, scalability and resilience sit at the heart of every solution.

Your new role In this role, you will play a central part in developing and integrating Proof of Concepts (PoCs) from the fraud-detection backlog. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to architect, design and build high-quality solutions, leading the migration of data and services to AWS cloud-native technologies. You'll integrate Databricks-based back-testing into the existing detection pipeline and work closely with architects to ensure smooth, reliable system integration. You'll participate in weekly stand-ups, showcase progress, and take end-to-end ownership of your assigned tasks to ensure timely, robust delivery.

What you'll need to succeed

To excel in this position, you should bring:

• Strong AWS expertise, ideally with hands-on experience across DynamoDB, Redis, Postgres, Aerospike or similar cloud-native and caching technologies.
• Proficiency in Kafka for real-time streaming and service integration.
• Experience building and deploying NodeJS applications on AWS.
• Solid backend programming skills in Java.
• A strong understanding of microservices, distributed systems, service orchestration and inter-service communication.
• A proven commitment to clean, maintainable, performant code and building scalable, resilient systems.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
• Awareness of secure coding standards, data protection principles, and experience in regulated environments such as financial services.
• Confidence in unit, integration and automated testing frameworks (JUnit, Jest, PyTest).
• An Agile, proactive, and solution-driven mindset.

You will thrive if you are a hands-on architect/developer with strong ownership, able to work independently, take initiative, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What you'll get in return

You'll gain the opportunity to work on a flagship modernisation programme delivering real-world impact in financial security. Expect a highly collaborative environment, the ability to shape technical solutions, and the chance to work with cutting-edge cloud, data and distributed technologies. You'll build PoCs that influence future fraud detection strategy and be part of a fast-paced, supportive engineering culture that values innovation, autonomy and continuous improvement.
