Java Engineer Role Description
We need experienced Software Engineers to be part of our rapidly expanding global engineering effort – whilst Java is our core language, we are also keen to hear from experienced Engineers in other languages (C++, C#, Scala etc)
As Java Engineer you have:
- A passion for engineering – You are an experienced server-side developer with a proven track record of delivering great software.
- Extra points if you’ve delivered online/web/SaaS applications or have particular strength in multi-user and multi-threaded scenarios. Even more kudos if you’ve experience of handling large multi-dimensional data structures in-memory.
- An understanding of testing – You write code that is tested and testable and you take responsibility for the quality of the code you produce. If you’re an advocate of TDD, even better.
- Experience of back-end development, preferably using Java 8 and knowledge of the major development tool sets but strong skills in C++ or C# or Scala would also be great!
- You can be quickly productive in IntelliJ, you’ve managed large codebases in GitHub and are familiar with branch/merge techniques.
- You can discuss design patterns, memory management and performance optimisation. You can write code from the ground up without needing frameworks….if you’re a full-stack developer and have skills on front-end too – even better!
- Ability to coach and collaborate inside and outside the team – You enjoy working closely with others, teaching and learning, and are comfortable showing off your work.
- Positive energy and enthusiasm – cultural fit is a big deal for us, we’re looking for smart people who are excited about solving big problems and are self-motivated to get things done.
- A highly organised and professional attitude to work – You’re an exceptional communicator, you are pragmatic and you know how to build trust.
We Offer:
- Big technical problems to solve – You’ll have the chance to push boundaries and learn from an excellent team.
- The opportunity to work for one of the coolest hyper-growth companies in technology.
- We already have an award-winning working Software Development environments in York, Paris and San Francisco….Continued growth and success mean we are investing in creating a significant Software Development environment in London (which we hope will win awards too).
- A long list of incredible benefits worthy of a leading Silicon Valley tech firm. We offer highly competitive packages – we’re serious about attracting the best technologists in the industry.
- A rewarding career with a company that values diversity and invests in you. You’ll be working with super smart people who are pushing Java to its limits.
