What They’re Trying to Achieve

The organisation is modernising and scaling core platforms that power customer origination and servicing journeys. They’re reducing reliance on long-term vendors and building a strong, permanent engineering team that can contribute strategically, improve engineering standards, and drive long-term platform evolution.

There is a strong focus on modern full-stack development, cloud-native platforms (AWS & Azure), and AI-assisted engineering practices, including experimentation with tools like GitHub Copilot and AI agents.

You will:

  • Design and build React-based frontend applications

  • Develop and enhance Java Spring Boot backend services and APIs

  • Contribute to complex backend logic and enterprise integrations

  • Work within large-scale cloud environments (AWS / Azure)

  • Collaborate with platform and architecture teams

  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and quality

What They’re Looking For

They’re seeking engineers who are genuinely full-stack and passionate about building well-designed, scalable systems. This team values strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity, and a mindset focused on long-term improvement rather than short-term delivery.

IMPORTANT: Ideally, you’ll bring experience across React and Java (Spring Boot), but if you don’t tick every single box, that’s absolutely okay. they’re looking for capable engineers with strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn. If you have solid full-stack experience and enjoy working across complex systems, you’re encouraged to apply.

Key experience includes:

  • 4+ years in full-stack software engineering roles

  • Strong hands-on experience with React

  • Solid backend development experience (Java / Spring Boot preferred)

  • Experience working in complex or large-scale environments

  • Exposure to cloud platforms (any provider)

  • A genuine interest in modern engineering practices and AI-assisted development

There are multiple opportunities within this team, so even if you’re seeing this ad later, we encourage you to apply as positions are likely still available.
