We are seeking an exceptional Principal Engineer – Full Stack Java to provide technical leadership and architectural direction for client-facing solutions supporting the implementation and ongoing evolution of the Gloss product.

In this role, you will set the technical vision for complex, business-critical capabilities across the platform. You will lead the design and evolution of scalable, secure, resilient, and high-performing solutions; influence engineering strategy and standards; and ensure the successful delivery of complex features, enhancements, integrations, and production improvements against key programme and client commitments.

You will combine deep hands-on engineering expertise with broad technical influence across teams. You will partner with architecture, product, delivery, quality assurance, operations, and client stakeholders to shape technical roadmaps, manage technology risks, resolve complex cross-system issues, and raise engineering capability across the organisation. You will also promote the appropriate use of AI-assisted development tools to improve quality, productivity, and delivery outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the technical vision, architecture, and engineering strategy for the International Processing Engine (IPE) application and its associated integrations.
  • Lead the design, development, and evolution of scalable back-end services, front-end components, RESTful APIs, and enterprise integrations across the platform.
  • Provide principal-level technical leadership across multiple workstreams, ensuring solutions are robust, secure, maintainable, performant, and aligned with strategic business and technology objectives.
  • Own and govern complex technical decisions, including architectural patterns, integration approaches, data design, resilience, scalability, security, operational supportability, and technology risk management.

  • Establish, evolve, and champion engineering standards covering architecture, coding practices, code reviews, automated testing, documentation, security, observability, release readiness, and operational excellence.
  • Provide technical oversight of solution designs, code, test strategies, and deployment approaches, ensuring consistency with agreed architecture and engineering standards.
  • Act as a senior technical authority for complex production incidents, leading root-cause analysis, defining sustainable corrective actions, and driving improvements to platform resilience and reliability.
  • Drive the adoption and effective use of containerisation, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and modern DevOps practices across the engineering lifecycle.
  • Mentor and coach Technical Leads, Senior Engineers, and development teams, strengthening technical capability, engineering discipline, and knowledge sharing across the organisation.
  • Work closely with product, delivery, quality assurance, architecture, operations, and client stakeholders to shape roadmaps, manage dependencies, resolve technical risks, and support successful delivery outcomes.
  • Support and enhance settlement-related workflows including trade confirmations, reporting, books and records, and collateral management.
  • Provide technical leadership for solutions across the securities trade lifecycle, including Debt, Equity, and Financing Transactions.
  • Drive continuous improvement in engineering practices, platform architecture, automation, quality, performance, security, operational support, and the use of AI-assisted engineering tools.

  • Python experience is good to have.
  • Strong hands-on knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes is essential, including containerised application design, deployment, configuration, scalability, resilience, and operational support.
  • Strong full-stack engineering capability, with experience defining technical direction for front-end, back-end, API, data, and integration layers.
  • Extensive experience designing, governing, and integrating RESTful APIs, distributed services, and enterprise application integrations.
  • Demonstrable experience designing and supporting high-volume, real-time or time-sensitive systems, with a strong understanding of performance, resilience, availability, and operational reliability.
  • Proven ability to define technical architectures and make complex design decisions, with a focus on scalability, security, maintainability, observability, and long-term platform evolution.
  • Extensive experience establishing engineering standards, conducting architecture and code reviews, improving software delivery practices, and resolving complex technical and production issues.
  • Strong experience with automated testing, quality engineering, CI/CD, deployment automation, and embedding quality throughout the software development lifecycle.
  • Experience working with source control, development, and delivery tools including Git, Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio, JIRA, and Confluence.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
