Junior Java Backend Engineer 

As a Junior Java Engineer you will join one of our Backend teams working on a part of our service catalogue that powers our core domains (Credit, Payments, KYC, etc.) Together with the team, you will have full ownership over these microservices to design, plan, build, run, monitor and maintain them in a way that drives the products they represent forward.

With the business now becoming global and expanding in multiple countries outside of the UK, you will get a chance to take part in massive initiatives and be encouraged to outgrow your initial responsibilities. You will witness a strong DevOps culture with multiple deployments per day, teams made autonomous by leveraging an architecture of independently deployable services, continuous delivery, experiments and MVPs and one day get to define the Target Architecture that provides the business with its agility.

 

You will have the chance to actively collaborate with your colleagues from the other Backend and iOS, Android, Web, QA, DevOps, Agile, Data Science, and Product teams.

You will not be alone in that journey, you will be onboarded and coached by the Senior engineers on your team and be a part of Backend Community of Practices and Interest groups that define our ways of working and are in the end what made all of the above possible!

On the backend we always use the latest Java LTS for our microservices. We provide RESTful APIs to our colleagues on the client side and our external partners. Spring Boot is our work horse, but we are open to new experiments. We are cloud-native and run everything on AWS. You’ll see containers (Docker), queues (SNS+SQS, Kafka) and events everywhere. The nature of our business naturally fits with relational databases, but we have also found some use cases for NoSQL. The Cloud Engineering team provides us with vital infrastructure and DevOps support on the cloud (as well as some internal tooling).
