  • Collaborate across multiple technical disciplines, including firmware, cloud services, data engineering and front-end development.
  • Contribute to Agile Scrum development activities, taking ownership of features from initial concept through development, testing and production deployment.
  • Minimum 5 years' professional software development experience, with strong expertise in Java and enterprise backend development.
  • Proficiency in modern Java (Java 17/21+) and the Spring ecosystem, including Spring Boot, Spring Security and Spring Data.
  • Proven experience designing, developing and documenting RESTful APIs and microservices-based architectures.
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, stateless application design and software scalability.
  • Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL or Oracle, including database modelling, SQL optimisation and indexing.
  • Practical experience with automated testing frameworks and methodologies, including JUnit, Mockito and Testcontainers.
  • Proficiency with Git and software build tools such as Maven or Gradle.
  • Working knowledge of Docker, containerisation principles and automated CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience working with Linux/UNIX and Windows development or server environments.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within cross-functional Agile Scrum teams.
