Lead Java Developer (Payments Platform)

This is a genuine leadership opportunity for a senior engineer who wants to shape architecture and standards while working alongside Architects, Product, DevOps, Security and AI teams on business-critical infrastructure.

Own authentication, authorisation and API security (JWT, OAuth 2.0/2.1, OpenID Connect), including cryptography and secure payment-data handling. Champion OWASP, threat modelling and security-by-design practices. Take ownership of complex production incidents, performance issues and root-cause analysis. Drive testing strategy, CI/CD, build engineering and cloud/containerised deployment. Conduct code and architecture reviews, and mentor senior and junior developers. Evaluate emerging technologies and promote AI-assisted engineering practices across the team. Requirements: 7–10 years' professional Java development experience, including Java 18–25 and Spring/Spring Boot. Strong background in system design, distributed systems and API design. Proven experience leading technical initiatives and mentoring developers. Hands-on expertise with PostgreSQL/MySQL, Hibernate/JPA, Redis, Kafka and RabbitMQ.
