Site Reliability Engineer

We're working with a long-established tech company who are building modern platforms within a complex and meaningful domain. They've embedded Agile and XP practices across engineering, and they're now hiring a hands-on Principal Java Engineer to help lead delivery, raise standards, and support the growth of their teams.

This is not an "architect who doesn't code" role. The expectation is that you'll be around 80% hands-on , building software alongside the team.

The Opportunity

You'll work as part of a Scrum team delivering real product outcomes, while also contributing to the broader engineering direction.

The hands-off element of the role includes:

**helping lead Scrum ceremonies and delivery

**mentoring and coaching engineers

**collaborating with other Principals and the Development Manager

**contributing to architectural decisions and technical direction

It's a role for someone who still loves coding, but also enjoys influencing how teams work and how systems evolve.

Tech Stack & Practices

**Java, Spring Boot

**TDD, pairing, strong automated testing culture

**CI/CD, continuous delivery mindset

**AWS (with a mix of approaches including serverless)

**Docker, Kubernetes

**Terraform / DevOps tooling

AWS and DevOps exposure is very beneficial at Principal level - but they're not looking for a pure DevOps engineer. The core of the role is still Java engineering., Principal Software Engineer, £650/day (Outside IR35) Opportunity for a Principal Software Engineerto work for a retail company at thebeginning of a large digital transformation on an initial 6-month contract outside IR35.You'd report to the Head of Engineering and would...

**Strong salary, bonus and excellent benefits

**A collaborative, mature engineering culture

**Complex systems, long-term platform work, and real impact
