Java Software Engineer

2x AVP Developers | Capital Markets | London I am working in partnership with a leading capital markets organisation to expand their newly established SPM (Sustainability & Physical Markets) team, with two AVP-level engineering positions now open. This is an opportunity to join at the outset of a significant build phase. The team is delivering a three-year technology roadmap, migrating legacy .NET applications to Java and re-architecting an existing monolith into microservices. The successful candidates will have meaningful ownership within a small, focused team. Two positions are available under a shared job description: Full-stack Engineer: primarily back-end Java with some React.jsJava Engineer with DevOps responsibilities Technical environment: Java and Spring Boot (microservices, REST APIs, data services), Kafka, and Kubernetes with Helm charts on OpenShift. Awareness of .NET is required to support the legacy estate. Python is advantageous. Candidate profile: We are seeking genuinely senior engineers with five or more years of experience and strong Java fundamentals. A background in capital markets or financial services is desirable, though candidates with strong transferable skills are encouraged to apply. Domain knowledge is not essential. Please note: This role is based in the London office three days per week. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for these positions.
