Required Skills:


  • Extensive experience in Java, JavaScript, Spring, Spring Boot, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab, Nexus, Maven, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
  • Familiarity with IntelliJ or similar IDEs for efficient development and debugging.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate business requirements into scalable solutions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
  • Experience in Agile environments, comfortable working in iterative and collaborative ways to deliver value quickly.


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Benefit from a flexible work environment focused on deliverable outcomes.
  • Receive private medical insurance through Aviva.
  • Enjoy the benefits of a company pension plan through Nest.
  • 25 days of annual leave plus UK bank holidays.
  • Access Perkbox, a global employee rewards platform offering discounts, perks, and wellness resources.
  • Participate in a generous employee referral program.
  • A highly collaborative and collegial environment with opportunities for career advancement.
  • Be encouraged to take bold steps and embrace a mindset of experimentation.
  • Choose your preferred device, PC or Mac.


Diversity & Inclusion:


Here at Amber Labs, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. Our commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion includes:


  • Valuing the unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of all employees and creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.


  • Prohibiting all forms of harassment, bullying, discrimination, and victimisation and promoting a culture of dignity and respect for all.


  • Educating all new hires on our Diversity and Inclusion policies and ensuring they are aware of their rights and responsibilities to create a safe and inclusive workplace.


  • By taking these steps, we are dedicated to building a workplace that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our employees and communities.


What Happens Next?


Our Talent Acquisition Team will be in touch to advise you on the next steps. We have a two-stage interview process for most of our consultants. In certain cases, we may include a third and final stage, which is a conversation with the company Partners. This will only be considered if deemed necessary.
