Java & SQL Developer (Remote) in London

Our mission is to make society’s critical technology work via automated & holistic IT observability solutions that safeguard critical applications and enable innovation. We are backed by leading private equity investors and are rapidly growing. Our headquarters are in Shoreditch - London's tech hub – with offices in other UK and global locations from the Netherlands to Manila, NYC and Chicago. We pride ourselves on a diverse, friendly, dynamic culture - with a focus on internal promotion and developing our people.

ITRS Group is looking for a Senior Java Engineer in London. The Core Platform layer is a collection of distributed services which ingest, transform and materialise observability data to make it available to several similarly distributed visualisation, integration, analytics and other domain specific applications to provide solutions to a range of observability problems. Our role offers a permanent, full-time position working from our London office on a hybrid work schedule.

As a Senior Java Software Engineer, you will:

• Participate in all phases of the product lifecycle, including design, development, documentation, testing, integration, deployment, and ongoing support.
• Advocate for a culture of quality and testing, offering guidance and support to team members less experienced in these practices.
• Complete hands-on training with ITRS Analytics and other products in the ITRS portfolio.
• Review recorded sales calls and learn our sales motion.
• Begin playing a role in the Analytics developers community, answering questions and sharing advice.
• Select a learning course that aligns with your goals and experience and begin the course.

We have an ambitious L&D policy to support your learning and growth.

You are predominantly a backend Java developer with at least 7 years of experience building complex distributed systems. You have built applications from the ground-up with a deep understanding of core Java, data structures and concurrency, rather than relying on frameworks such as Spring. You know how to orchestrate the deployment of applications on Kubernetes, including defining services, deployments, stateful sets etc. You know how to design systems from a macro-level through to the micro-level optimisations needed to build high-performance, scalable solutions. You have tackled hard problems in the past around data consistency vs availability and have designed systems around these considerations. You have designed complex data models and managed their evolution to limit breaking-changes and support backwards compatibility. You have a focus on delivery and an awareness of how your contribution in a software team delivers end-value in a product. You have likely tuned garbage collection, fixed CPU hotspots and analysed heap dumps to find memory leaks on JVMs. You have likely instrumented custom metrics in your application and used monitoring/observability tools to understand how they behave in different environments and to identify the root cause of issues.

Benefits include:

• Health Insurance and Dental Health Cover for you and your dependants
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Pension
• Flexible Hybrid Working
• Enhanced Parental Leave
• Travel Insurance
• Life Assurance
• Referral Bonus
• Buy and Sell Holiday
• Training Reimbursement
