Lead Java Developer - London

Lead Java Developer - £140k, Equity, Sign-on Bonus
Java25, Springboot, Microservices, AWS, TDD, React

I am working with a high growth FinTech that's about to enter a huge new chapter.

They are a fast scaling FinTech that's in the middle of a major rebrand, new name, new logo, and a shift to a truly global financial platform. The full reveal is coming in this quarter, and the energy inside the business is electric so we need to keep fuelling the passion.

This is an engineering first organisation. Backend engineers have a genuine voice in every technical decision, nothing is top down. It's collaborative, thoughtful, and engineers shape the how, why, and when behind the product.

They've just upgraded to Java 25, which the team is genuinely excited about. With eight product teams spanning credit, payments, business tools, growth, and customer experience, engineers are placed where their strengths and passions fit best.

Having been established for only a few years, they are backed by some reputable investors, have grown the business to 70 people and need another 15 heads to join and double the engineering function in London.

Their Java team is currently working on Java 25, Springboot, Microservices, AWS, TDD, BDD, React, Junit to name a few areas.

The salary is within the range of £90k - £140k, plus equity, bonus, and generous benefits. Based in London, with 1-2 days onsite desirable.

Interested in learning more? Or know people who might be interested in a move?

Then please get in touch to have an informal chat.

Please note, we need engineers who have worked with Java 17+ and additional brownie points for any start-up experience!
