About the role

The Role:

We’re partnering with a highly regarded IT consultancy delivering complex transformation and engineering projects across enterprise clients, with a strong focus on the financial services sector. They’re looking for a Senior / Lead Fullstack Java Engineer to take ownership of modern, business-critical systems while acting as a senior technical voice across projects. This role combines hands-on engineering, architecture influence, client interaction, and technical leadership — ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex challenges while mentoring others and driving engineering quality. You’ll work closely with stakeholders, consultants, and development teams to deliver scalable, production-grade solutions across the full project lifecycle.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead the development of modern fullstack applications using Java (Spring Boot) and modern frontend technologies
  • Drive technical architecture and design decisions across client projects
  • Act as a senior technical contact for clients and internal stakeholders
  • Build scalable, production-ready systems within enterprise environments
  • Mentor and support developers within agile project teams
  • Translate complex business requirements into clean, maintainable technical solutions
  • Contribute to engineering best practices, code quality, and development processes

What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong commercial experience with Java / Spring Boot
  • Fullstack expertise with technologies such as Angular, React, or similar frontend frameworks
  • Experience leading technical initiatives or acting as a senior engineer within project environments
  • Background in consulting, enterprise delivery, or client-facing engineering roles
  • Experience within finance, banking, or fintech environments is highly beneficial
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, agile methodologies, and modern engineering practices
  • German C1+ (mandatory) and strong English skills
  • Based in or open to working within the Frankfurt region

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Work on high-impact enterprise systems within financial services
  • Opportunity to operate as a technical leader while remaining hands-on
  • Join a consultancy recognised for strong engineering expertise and long-term client partnerships
  • Hybrid working model with only 2 days onsite
  • Clear progression toward Lead / Principal / Architect-level responsibilities
  • Collaborative, mature engineering culture with real ownership and autonomy
