I’m working with a fantastic and rapidly growing software consultancy who are seeking a Java Developer to join their exciting software team, based in Surrey, just south of Guildford. Are you interested in working with the latest technologies in Java Development?

The company

Running for 20 years now, they’ve established themselves in the market as a key player, with brand new, large Java projects coming up from SMEs up to blue-chips - there is plenty of bleeding-edge work to be done!

They have offices in Surrey, but clients ranging all throughout Berkshire, Surrey and London; they will also be paying for all your travel so depending on where you’re based they’re happy to create a schedule that is flexible for you.

Role:

Java Developer                                                Up to £65,000 (dependent upon experience)

You’ll get the chance to work on high-quality projects in a wide variety of sectors including ecommerce organisations, governmental organisations, financial services and much more. These are all greenfield projects, giving you a chance to introduce ideas from the beginning and have a full input throughout the software development life cycle. In addition, as it’s a consultancy with different opportunities, you are able to illustrate your preferences and work on projects that interest you and allow you to be excited each day about the work you’ll be doing.

  • Their tech stack focuses around Java; everything is built in cloud-based environments using containerisation and the latest tooling/frameworks within agile teams.
  • They’re looking for experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch.
  • RESTful services and microservices architecture would be essential for this Senior Java Developer role.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, multi-branch development and branch/merging strategies would be extremely useful, as well as any exposure to CQRS.

There are excellent progression opportunities, with this Java Developer role being geared towards leading projects and teams autonomously in a Senior position, shaping both your career and the projects, giving you a chance to introduce modern and exciting technologies as you see fit.

Much of their work and business is becoming more data-centric also, with data science and big data being a big part – this means the chance to rub shoulders with specialists in a very exciting sector, any prior experience would be great!

As well as being an exciting Java Developer opportunity and the chance to work with the most modern of technologies, there is a brilliant benefits package available:

  • 25 days holiday
  • Health insurance
  • Travel to/from clients covered
  • Pension scheme
  • Perkbox
