Senior Java Developer

Glasgow | £50,000 - £60,000 | Permanent

Published: 16.03.23 Ref: 41877_1679001522

A sustainability focused tech company are looking for a Senior Java Developer to join their Glasgow Squads!

The company are leaders in their field and have done some interesting and varied projects across the UK from Shetland to Glasgow, as well as further afield (the rest of the UK, Europe and the US). They have a huge range of products, as well creating bespoke applications for their clients - so there's no shortage of interesting projects to get stuck into. The type of work the company do is a little bit different, not your typical software technology company so there's the opportunity to delve in some varied projects that are beneficial to the planet.

You'll be joining one the company's Agile Squads (there's currently 5 teams, each have about 5 techies) and will be expected to be an effective member of the team who can keep up with a fast-moving environment. You will be involved in the design and delivery of the company's flagship product as well as delivering solutions to match the client and company standards.

You'll spend most of your time in the back end working with Java (they use Spring for most applications) and will have the chance to gain some really good cloud experience as they host multiple applications on AWS. There is scope to work full-stack here too if desired - but they do have a multi-disciplinary Dev team full of Java Developers, Front-End Developers, UX Specialists, DevOps Engineers, Architects, Scrum Masters + many more.

You'll ideally have experience with most of the following;

** Core Java

** Spring / SpringBoot

** Working in an Agile environment.

** RESTful microservices

Experience with the following is highly desirable;

** Jira

** Test Tools (Ranorex, Cucumber, Postman)

** Shell Scripting (Bash, PowerShell)

** AWS

They're able to offer salaries ranging from £50k to £60k dependent on experience, plus an annual bonus (based off company performance). Other benefits include 33 days holiday, 5% matched pension contribution and life assurance. They are looking at a hybrid working model (1-2 days a week in the office).

Our clients

Candidates

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.
