Our client, a leading financial services organisation, is looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer (Java) to join their high-performing team. This is a key leadership role suited to someone who enjoys driving innovation while remaining hands-on in software development.

You will play a central role in designing and building a suite of microservices and user interfaces, contributing directly to systems that support significant daily investment activity across the business.

As a senior technical contributor, you will help shape architecture, guide engineering best practices, and lead development initiatives while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.

  • Extensive experience (10+ years) in designing and developing applications using Java, Spring Boot, and RESTful services
  • Front-end development experience with Angular or similar frameworks
  • Strong knowledge of DevOps tools and practices, including Maven and Jenkins

  • Active involvement in automation, CI/CD pipelines, design discussions, and code reviews

You’ll be part of an Agile team focused on delivering incremental business value. The environment encourages collaboration, continuous improvement, and shared ownership of outcomes.

We’re seeking product-focused engineers who are curious, proactive, and committed to delivering high-quality solutions. You’ll have the opportunity to influence both the product and technical direction while continuing to grow your own skills in a fast-paced, iterative environment.
