Our technology powers mission‑critical solutions across Lending, Payments and Universal Banking, supporting over 7,000 customers, including 80% of the world’s top 50 banks, in more than 110 countries.

About the Role

You will work on a cloud-native SaaS platform serving financial institutions globally, built on a modern Java + Angular stack. The team is modernising a large-scale enterprise system from a JBoss monolith to a multi-tenant Spring Boot microservices architecture, with a strong emphasis on configuration-driven extensibility over code generation.

Core Technical Requirements

Backend - Java / Spring Boot

3+ years building production REST APIs with Spring Boot

Strong understanding of layered architecture - controller, service, domain, persistence

Hibernate ORM - entity mapping, relationship management, query optimisation

Oracle or equivalent relational database - schema design, SQL, indexing

Experience with event-driven or pipeline-based processing (validation chains, pre/post-save hooks, deserialisation pipelines)

Unit and integration testing with JUnit 5, Mockito, Spring Test

Frontend - Angular / TypeScript

Angular reactive forms, component architecture, HTTP client

TypeScript - interfaces, generics, strict mode

Schema-driven / configuration-driven UI rendering

Experience integrating with REST APIs and handling async state

Platform & Infrastructure

Docker - containerisation, multi-stage builds

Kubernetes - deployments, ConfigMaps, Secrets, volume mounts

CI/CD pipelines - build, test, deploy automation

Git - branching strategy, code review practice

Architecture & Design

Understands multi-tenant SaaS patterns - per-tenant data isolation, JWT-based tenant resolution, path-scoped configuration

Comfortable with configuration-over-code design - building systems where runtime behaviour is driven by YAML/JSON config rather than compiled logic

Familiar with extension/plugin architectures - hook registration, dynamic dispatch, runtime resolution of behaviour

Can reason about API contract design - what crosses a service boundary, what must be a plain DTO vs a domain object, versioning

What We Look For at This Level

You can own a feature end-to-end: backend API persistence

frontend rendering - without requiring architecture sign-off on every step

You recognise when a configuration-driven approach saves a code change per customer, and you build for that

You write tests that cover the contract, not just the happy path

You flag security and data-isolation risks during design, not after deployment

You contribute to code review and leave the codebase cleaner than you found it
