Snr Java Engineer

We are supporting a large enterprise programme that requires a hands-on Senior Java Engineer to stabilise, troubleshoot and uplift critical applications. This suits someone who thrives on solving complex problems, unblocking stuck systems and improving overall performance across a modernised platform.
You’ll work closely with architects, product teams and integration specialists to diagnose issues across containerised Spring Boot services, re-platformed Postgres databases, and legacy integration patterns. The environment is delivery-focused, fast-paced and expecting strong technical ownership.

What You’ll Work On

• Troubleshoot and stabilise legacy and containerised Java Spring Boot applications
• Deep-dive into performance, logging, configuration and integration issues
• Work across a re-platformed Postgres database (migrated from DB2)
• Support refactoring, optimisation and uplift of microservices
• Assist with integrations across IBM and related platforms
• Collaborate with architects and testers in a hybrid on-site model
• Contribute to continuous improvement and engineering best practice

What We’re Looking For

• 7–10+ years’ Java engineering experience
• Strong Spring Boot and microservices background
• Practical experience with Docker/Kubernetes environments
• Proven ability to resolve complex production issues
• Solid SQL and Postgres capability
• Exposure to enterprise integration platforms (IBM stack ideal)
• Someone calm under pressure, analytical and proactive

Why This Role Stands Out

• Long-term rolling engagement
• Hybrid working environment
• Excellent daily rate
• Opportunity to influence a major digital uplift

If you excel at breaking down problems fast, stabilising critical systems and driving engineering quality, we’d love to speak with you.
