Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom Experis UK Full time

About the Role

We're looking for a pragmatic
Java Engineer
to build reliable, scalable services used by thousands of users. You'll contribute across the full SDLC—design, development, testing, deployment and observability—within a collaborative, product-led team.

Upskilling-first culture:
We actively support engineers to
learn new languages, frameworks, and tooling
. If you're solid in Java and interested in upskilling into
Kotlin, Go, TypeScript/Node, or cloud-native patterns
, we'll back you with time, mentorship, and learning resources.

What You'll Do

  • Design and develop
    clean, testable Java services
    (Java 11+), following SOLID and domain-driven thinking where appropriate.
  • Build and maintain RESTful APIs/JSON integrations; contribute to event-driven components (Kafka or similar).
  • Write automated tests (unit, integration, contract); champion CI/CD and trunk-based development.
  • Improve performance, reliability and security; contribute to code reviews and technical design docs.
  • Deploy and operate services in
    AWS/Azure
    (infrastructure-as-code preferred).
  • Collaborate with Product, UX, and QA to ship valuable increments; contribute to technical roadmaps.
  • Upskill and cross-skill
    —pair, mob, and share knowledge; adopt new tools and languages as business needs evolve.

Tech You'll Work With (not all required)

  • Core:
    Java 11+ (or Kotlin), Spring Boot, Gradle/Maven
  • APIs & Data:
    REST, JSON, JPA/Hibernate, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL), Redis
  • Cloud & DevOps:
    AWS or Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform/Pulumi, GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins
  • Messaging & Events:
    Kafka/RabbitMQ
  • Quality & Observability:
    JUnit/Mockito/Testcontainers, Pact, OpenAPI, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry
  • Nice to learn:
    Kotlin, Go, TypeScript/Node, React for light full‑stack

What We're Looking For

  • Commercial experience building backend services in
    Java
    (or JVM language) with Spring Boot.
  • Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals (OO, testing strategies, CI/CD, version control).
  • Familiarity with cloud deployments (AWS/Azure) and containerisation (Docker/K8s).
  • Pragmatic problem solver with strong communication skills and a product mindset.
  • Growth mindset
    —keen to learn new languages, frameworks, and patterns.
