• Designing and building backend services using Java and Spring Boot
• Working within a microservices architecture in a distributed systems environment
• Contributing to system enhancements and performance improvements
• Collaborating with global engineering teams across multiple regions
• Working within an established, production-scale platform (not greenfield)

What They’re Looking For

Core requirements:

• Strong experience with Java (Core Java) and Spring Boot
• Experience working within microservices-based systems
• Solid backend engineering background

Nice to have (not essential):

• Exposure to event-driven architecture (e.g. Kafka)
• Experience with Oracle or other relational databases
• Any exposure to Angular or frontend frameworks
• Background in financial services or data-heavy platforms
• Experience with tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
• Exposure to EAGLE or similar financial platforms (rare but advantageous)

Why Consider This Role

• Work on large-scale, real-world financial systems
• High visibility role tied to a major new client onboarding
• Collaborative, global engineering environment
• Strong focus on modern engineering practices

Things to Note

• This is a backend-focused role, not a UI-heavy position

If you’re a strong backend Java engineer looking to work on meaningful systems in a structured environment, this is well worth a conversation.
