Cassandra Database Engineer - NoSQL (Contract) Duration: Up until 31 March 2026 (Possibility for extension) Location: London/Hybrid (3 days per week on site) Rate: A highly competitive Umbrella Day Rate is available for suitable candidates Role Purpose The Financial Crime Technology team requires specialist Apache Cassandra (NoSQL) expertise to support the design and operational readiness of high-volume, real-time data platforms underpinning the fraud detection ecosystem. This capability does not currently exist in-house, as the team's core expertise is centred on Actimize application engineering, Oracle PL/SQL, and integration middleware (IIB/MQ). This is a time-bound requirement aligned to specific deliverables, including the real-time payment capture and replay platform and its supporting data infrastructure, rather than a permanent headcount need. As such, a contract engagement is the most appropriate and cost-effective resourcing model. Without this role, delivery timelines are at risk, and critical design decisions (such as keyspace design, replication strategy, and capacity planning) may be made without specialist input, increasing the risk of rework and potential production instability. Key Accountabilities: Design, implement and maintain Apache Cassandra clusters ,including keyspace design, replication strategies and partitioning models. Develop and optimise data models aligned to query patterns (denormalization ,partition key design, avoiding hotspots and wide partitions). Performance tuning: compaction strategies consistency levels, read/write path optimisation, JVM/GC tuning. Manager cluster operations: node additions/decommissions, repairs (node tool), backups and disaster recovery. Monitor cluster health using tools such as Prometheus/Grafana, OpsCenter, or equivalent. Support CQL query development and advice application teams on best-practice access patterns. Collaborate with infrastructure and security teams on hardening, encryption (at rest/in transit) and authentication/authorisation (RBAC) Produce technical documentation including data models, runbooks, and operational procedures. Knowledge & Experience: Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field. Proven experience in NoSQL database engineering ,with strong production expertise in Apache Cassandra. Strong proficiency in keyspace and table design, data modelling aligned to query patterns, replication strategy, and consistency tuning. Solid CQL experience and good understanding of Cassandra internals (SSTables, memtables, commit log, compaction, gossip, tombstones). Hands-on experience with cluster operations including node additions/decommissions, repairs, backups, and disaster recovery (node tool). Experience with cluster sizing, capacity planning, and multi deployments. Strong Linux administration and scripting skills (Bash/Python). Experience working in regulated or financial services environments with awareness of security hardening, encryption (at rest/in transit) and RBAC. Exposure to the Actimize platform, messaging middleware (IBM MQ/IIB, Kafka). Or Oracle Pl/SQL desirable but not mandatory. DataStax/Cassandra certification and cloud experience (AWS Keyspaces, Azure Managed Instance for Cassandra) desirable. Experience working in Agile delivery environments, contributing to ceremonies and cross-functional collaboration. Demonstrated accountability in managing services, resolving issues, and coordinating stakeholders across teams or regions. Candidates will need to show evidence of the above in their CV in order to be considered. If you feel you have the skills and experience and want to hear more about this role 'apply now' to declare your interest in this opportunity with our client. Your application will be observed by our dedicated team. We will respond to all successful applicants ASAP however, please be advised that we will always look to contact you further from this time should we need further applicants or if other opportunities arise relevant to your skillset.

Our client are a locally based software technology business, leading in the field of applying AI in building platforms to support compliance, risk and fraud detection solutions. This is a small team, so what you build ships and gets used. You will report to the Lead Developer for AI and Platforms. You will own projects, not tickets. You take something from a rough idea to a running thing people rely on, and you keep it running. As a Software Developer here you will: Build and own a number of projects end to end: backend, deployment, and the day-to-day of keeping them healthy Design systems that are simple to run and simple for the next person to read Work with AI agents as a normal part of how you build, and know when to trust them and when not to Integrate with third-party services (KYC providers, payment and gaming platforms, forensic datasources) Pick up whatever the project needs, including bits of front-end, data work, and infrastructure The ideal candidate for the role of Software Developer will have: Strong back-end engineering in at least one language, and the sense to pick the right tool rather than the familiar one Cloud and deployment: you can put a service into production and look after it, not just write the code Solid grounding in system design and engineering principles. You think about failure, data, and maintenance before you think about frameworks Fluent with agentic development. You've built real things with coding agents (Claude Code or similar) and you understand context management, skills and sub agents, prompting, and orchestration. You have a view on where they help and where they get in the way API design and integration: Clean interfaces, sensible contracts, third-party services wired in without drama Desirable: Enough frontend and UI sense to build a decent interface, even if you're not a front-end specialist Comfortable across several languages, for example Python, Go, or Java, and happy to pick up whatever a project calls for Application security, and care when handling sensitive data
