Job description
We are working with a public sector client to bring on a Java Engineer/Developer to support an established engineering team. This role is ideal for a developer early in their career who wants to gain exposure to modern technologies in a supportive, non-lead capacity.
You will not be expected to act as a lead engineer; instead, you'll work alongside experienced developers contributing to well-defined services and features.
Essential Skills & Experience
You must have commercial experience or strong hands-on exposure to:
- Java (17+)
- Spring Framework
- Microservices architecture & REST APIs
- OpenAPI/Swagger for API design and documentation
- Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Desirable/Nice-to-Have Skills
Experience or familiarity with any of the following would be beneficial but not required:
- Docker & containerisation
- Kubernetes
- AWS
- CI/CD pipelines
- Kafka & event-driven architectures
- Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle
- Service mesh technologies (eg Istio)
- BDD tools (eg Cucumber)
- Helm
- Redis
- Monitoring & observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Kibana)
Requirements
- Junior to early mid-level Back End developer
- Happy working under guidance rather than leading design decisions
- Comfortable contributing to existing codebases
- Looking for stable contract work within the public sector
