About the role
We’re working with a leading global financial services organisation as they continue to scale out their Dublin engineering function following a major new client win.
They’re looking to hire Senior Backend Engineers to join a high-performing team working on large-scale, business-critical platforms responsible for processing complex financial transactions.
The Role
This is a backend-leaning engineering role, focused on building and enhancing core systems within a modern microservices environment.
You’ll be working on high-visibility initiatives tied directly to new client onboarding, with strong exposure across global teams and systems.
What You’ll Be Doing • 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.
