*Build resilient, production-grade systems with a strong focus on reliability and scalability
*Work across the full software development lifecycle from design through to production support
*Partner closely with engineering and product leadership to shape technical direction
*Mentor and support engineers within a small, high-performing team
Key Requirements*Strong experience building large-scale distributed systems within financial services or other regulated environments
*Expert-level Java engineering experience, ideally within microservices and event-driven architectures
*Experience with Spring Boot and modern backend engineering practices
