About the team
As a Junior Java Engineer you will join one of our Backend teams working on a part of our service catalogue that powers one of our core domains (Credit, Payments, KYC, etc.). Together with your new teammates, you will have full ownership over these microservices to design, plan, build, run, monitor and maintain them in a way that drives the products they represent forward.
With our business now becoming global and expanding in multiple countries outside of the UK, you will get a chance to take part in massive initiatives and be encouraged to outgrow your initial responsibilities. You will witness a strong DevOps culture with multiple deployments per day, teams made autonomous by leveraging an architecture of independently deployable services, continuous delivery, experiments and MVPs and one day get to define the Target Architecture that provides our business with its agility.
You will not be alone in that journey - you will work with an Engineering Manager, be onboarded and coached by the Senior engineers on your team and last but not least - be a part of our Backend Community of Practices and Interest groups that define our ways of working and are in the end what made all of the above possible!

Our Tech Stack:
On the backend we always use the latest Java LTS for our microservices. We provide RESTful APIs to our colleagues on the client side and our external partners. Spring Boot is our work horse, but we are open to new experiments. We are cloud-native and run everything on AWS. You’ll see containers (Docker), queues (SNS+SQS, Kafka) and events everywhere. The nature of our business naturally fits with relational databases, but we have also found some use cases for NoSQL. The Cloud Engineering team provides us with vital infrastructure and DevOps support on the cloud (as well as some internal tooling).
What you’ll get in return:
Make work, work for you! We are embracing new ways of working and support flexible working arrangements. With our Working Out of Office (WOO) policy our colleagues can work remotely from home or anywhere in their home country. Additionally, you can work from a different country for up to 90 days a year. Plus, you’ll get:
