You will be hands-on in developing backend solutions using Java and Spring Boot while leveraging cloud-based tools such as AWS Lambda and DynamoDB.

  • Design and implement secure, scalable backend solutions using Java, Spring Boot, and API development tools such as GraphQL, AWS Lambda, SQS, Kinesis, DynamoDB, Redis, SNS, OpenSearch, and SQL to meet evolving business needs.
  • Optimise system performance by conducting thorough testing, troubleshooting issues proactively, and driving continuous improvements to enhance reliability and scalability.
  • Collaborate with technical leadership, product teams, and engineers to shape product design decisions that align with organisational goals while fostering open communication and teamwork.
  • Take ownership of end-to-end technical solutions by addressing complex challenges with thoughtful decision-making and ensuring alignment with best practices.
  • Enhance the software development lifecycle by promoting efficiency, maintainability, and scalability through process improvements and innovative approaches.
  • Develop creative solutions to overcome system limitations while supporting high-traffic environments that demand dynamic responses.
  • Mentor developers at various levels by fostering professional growth through knowledge sharing and encouraging collaboration within the team.
  • Oversee the integration of the product data platform with other systems using tools like Stibo STEP, AWS services, and modern development frameworks to ensure seamless operations.
  • Drive compliance with IT security protocols by managing risk assessments and ensuring regulatory requirements are met for all platform operations.


What you bring: To excel as a Java Developer / Technical Architect in this environment, your background should reflect significant experience delivering complex system integration projects where both data engineering acumen and architectural vision were required.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related discipline demonstrating foundational knowledge essential for this role.
  • At least 7 years’ experience in system integration projects involving data engineering principles as well as software architecture responsibilities.
  • Proficiency in deploying cloud-based solutions—ideally leveraging AWS services—for hosting applications securely at scale.
  • Expertise architecting scalable systems utilising modern frameworks such as Spring (Java), Node.js or Python-based technologies; flexibility to evaluate new technologies is highly regarded.
  • Hands-on experience designing APIs including gateways for microservices architectures along with managing data synchronisation workflows efficiently.
  • Deep familiarity with ETL workflows plus advanced skills in data modelling techniques relevant to large-scale information systems.
  • Agile mindset paired with solution-oriented thinking; excellent problem-solving abilities complemented by strong communication skills for effective collaboration.
