Principal Java Engineer (UI Specialist – 90–100% Frontend Focus)
Our client, are increasingly seeing the need for a true senior-level UI specialist within their engineering team. As a result, we’re looking for a Principal Java Engineer with a strong frontend focus—someone who can lead from the front in building exceptional user interfaces while elevating UI capability across the wider team.
This role is intentionally weighted towards the frontend (90–100%), making it ideal for an experienced engineer who is passionate about UI architecture, design systems, and creating high-quality user experiences. While the core focus is UI, there will be opportunities over time to expand into backend and API work if desired.
As a Principal Engineer, you’ll act as the go-to expert for all things UI. You’ll define standards, introduce best practices, and guide teams in delivering consistent, scalable, and performant frontend solutions. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll influence both technical direction and engineering culture.
You won’t be expected to take on deep backend ownership from day one, but you’ll work within a broader Java and Spring Boot ecosystem, collaborating closely with backend engineers to ensure seamless integration.
