• Developing event-driven systems using technologies like Kafka
• Improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Designing scalable microservices and cloud-native architecture
• Ensuring platform reliability, observability, and high availability
• Collaborating with engineering teams to improve developer experience across the platform
Your work will directly impact the speed, scalability, and reliability of systems used across the organisation.

• Docker / Kubernetes (nice to have)
• Observability tools such as Prometheus or Grafana
What we’re looking for
• 3–5 years of experience in backend or platform engineering
• Strong experience building Java-based services and APIs
• Experience with distributed systems or event-driven architectures
• Exposure to cloud-native development, ideally AWS
• Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software delivery practices
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in collaborative engineering teams
Nice to have
• Experience with Docker or Kubernetes
• Exposure to platform engineering or developer tooling
• Experience in fintech, trading systems, or financial platforms
• Experience with observability or monitoring tools
ADVERT DISCLAIMER
Research indicates that men will apply to a role when they only meet 50-60% of the descriptions, however, when looking at women and other minority groups, they can look for up to a 99% match in order to apply to a role. If you feel you are a fit for our role, please still apply, don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. We’d still love to hear from you. We encourage underrepresented talent to apply to all our roles & support accessibility needs
