Senior Java Developer

Do you have great core Java experience? Are you keen to develop your skills and learn new technologies? A highly successful and technology-driven company is looking for senior/lead Java developers to build new features and systems using the latest and best technology. In addition to Java, they use a wide variety of tools which includes ElasticStack, MongoDB & DynamoDB, Spark, Angular2, React.JS, and Terraform (amongst many others).

The company provides time each week for personal learning and development, and will get you up to speed on any languages or tools needed for the role that you aren’t familiar with – of course, if you’re already an expert on tuning search tools, or a DynamoDB expert, that’s great too.

Depending on the team you join, production releases happen between every two weeks to four times a day – so be prepared for a fast-moving environment where your team will be striving to produce great code that benefits your customers on a continual basis.

As a senior / lead developer, you’ll take responsibility for giving technical direction in your team, and/or for team leadership.

The company has a strong Agile culture, and makes extensive use of pair programming, Lean and Kanban principles, TDD and BDD, and daily stand-ups.

So what do you need?

• Good Java, ideally Java 7+ (5 years’ experience+)
• Experience of working in an Agile environment would be beneficial
• Experience in a senior role, mentoring junior developers, or as a team or technical leader.
• Good communication skills
