London / Hybrid

£50,000 – £60,000

The Role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer who enjoys building reliable, scalable systems and wants real ownership of their work.

You’ll be part of a collaborative engineering team working on modern backend services. Plenty of autonomy. Strong engineering culture. Zero micromanagement. If you like solving problems properly — not just shipping quick fixes — you’ll fit in well.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and building backend services using Java
• Writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code
• Collaborating closely with other engineers, product, and stakeholders
• Improving performance, reliability, and scalability
• Contributing to technical decisions and best practices

Essential Skills

You must have:

• Strong commercial experience with Java
• Solid understanding of backend development principles
• Experience working in a team-based development environment

Nice to Have (Not Required)

Experience with any of the following is a big plus:

• Kotlin
• Elixir
• Erlang

No boxes to tick. Curiosity counts.

Why Apply?

• Hybrid working (Cheltenham-based)
• Competitive salary (£50k–£60k)
• Modern tech stack and engineering-first mindset
• Real influence over how things are built
• Supportive team that values quality over chaos
