Design, build, and evolve highly available, high-throughput, zero-downtime systems and internet-facing APIs that can scale securely for large retail and external client volumes. Lead architectural decisions across API design, domain modelling, integration patterns, resilience, observability, and operational robustness, ensuring the platform is fit for 24/7 global production use. Work across multiple software engineering teams to drive consistency in engineering standards, development practices, and delivery execution while enabling teams to build in parallel without fragmentation. Partner with business and product stakeholders to translate commercial objectives into scalable technical solutions, balancing speed, quality, resilience, and long-term platform integrity. Define and implement improvements to software engineering processes, tooling, and ways of working, helping teams deliver high-quality software efficiently and predictably. Provide technical leadership across design reviews, incidents, scale discussions, and production learning loops, ensuring operational insights are continuously fed back into the architecture and codebase. Represent the engineering function in senior forums, communicate clearly with both technical and business leadership, and act as a thought leader on modern API platforms, distributed systems, and secure internet-scale engineering. What You'll Bring To The Role Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). Typically 8+ years of relevant experience. Strong experience as a hands-on software engineer, with deep Java expertise and a track record of building and delivering production-grade distributed systems. Proven ability to design and scale API platforms and real-time systems in high-volume environments (payments, FX, or similar domains preferred). Strong, hands-on experience with modern Java (Java 11+) and Spring Boot 3+, with the ability to design and implement production-grade services. Solid experience working with relational and document-oriented databases (SQL and NoSQL), including data modelling and performance optimisation. Experience building and operating containerised applications (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), with a clear understanding of deployment, runtime behaviour, and production operations. Strong understanding of microservices architecture, including service decomposition, inter-service communication, and failure handling in distributed environments. Familiarity with private cloud environments and cloud-native principles, including scalability, resilience, and observability.
