Java Developer

The role and tasks:

• Develop Back End services using Java and the AWS stack

• Support and improve the continuous delivery process

• Taking ownership of the software you build, from analysis to production and support

• Support and work with other developers to ensure standards stay high and keep getting higher

• Be an active member of the Back End development team, improving the code base through pull requests and suggesting new tools, technologies, and ways of working

• Work with the Product Owner and the Tech Lead to prioritize features and improvements

Requirements:

You're someone who is motivated, organized, and gets things done. You have ideas about everything we do and you're not afraid to stand up for yourself - whilst respecting others of course. You want to work in a start-up environment because you like the idea of taking ownership of what you work on and doing a bit of everything. You're constantly thinking "could this be better?".

You must have:

• 3+ years experience building cloud-hosted software

• Strong knowledge of Java (Spring Boot is a plus)

• Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS is a plus)

• You have ambition and a hunger for growth and development

• Can provide examples of products that you have personally helped to build and have been shipped to production

• Knowledge of writing RESTful APIs

• Experience and understanding with React stack or similar Frontend technologies

Benefits:

• Health and Wellness: all staff have access to discounted fitness facilities, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching

• 29 days annual leave - including bank holidays and your birthday bonus

• flexible hours to suit important life events, deliveries, sports days, and appointments

• Friday Finish: we finish early on Fridays to get together as a company and kick off the weekend in style

• Birthday bonus: an extra day off on your birthday (if it falls on the weekend you can take another day)

• Learning and Development: we match your ambition to learn and develop so support access to training, conferences, and meet-ups and encourage cross-team opportunities

• MVP awards: we like to recognize achievements on a regular basis. Our Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards allow us to reward those who have gone above and beyond during the month

• Every Friday afternoon, we get together to share news, achievements, and stories from the week. This is usually followed by a social drink either from our legendary office gin trolley or a supply of delicious soft drinks

• Company Socials: This year, we've played crazy mini-golf, celebrated the Royal wedding in style, raced around the city on a scavenger hunt, and hosted a summer festival - and there's more to come!
