Senior Software Engineer (Java)

Who we are We’re the people behind global loyalty currency, Avios, and home to three ambitious, growing businesses: IAG Loyalty , BA Holidays , and The Wine Flyer . Each business has its own goals and strategy, but collectively we create brilliant experiences for our global customers. We’re on a truly exciting journey of growth and transformation – we’re going places! This is where you come in. The opportunity The GLP Programme Team is responsible for designing, building, releasing, and maintaining a set of B2B microservice API products that allow partners to integrate with and use the capabilities of the IAGL frequent flyer programmes (BA Executive Club, Iberia Plus, AerLingus AerClub & Vueling Club). The Loyalty Platform provides a range of partner-facing, headless products presented through our APIs & data events, which have high demand, resilience, and availability. In addition, our platform will create delightful, frictionless consumer-facing experiences to enable members to enroll in the program seamlessly, log in with identity verification and security features built-in, and manage their Avios account while enjoying their rewarding benefits. What you’ll get up to As a Senior Back-End Engineer, you\’ll hold a pivotal position within the product team, contributing to the design and implementation of new features in the application\’s back-end. Leveraging your technical prowess and hands-on experience, you\’ll craft scalable, top-notch software solutions. Collaboration is key, as you\’ll effectively engage with product owners, architects, technical leads, and fellow developers to ensure alignment and deliver the best possible outcomes. You\’ll bring hands-on expertise in crafting solutions within your chosen tech stack (e.g., Node.js and Express, Java and Spring Boot), along with a deep understanding of APIs, system architecture, and industry protocols like OAuth 2.0. Your expertise lies in the Back-End applications, where you\’ll skillfully guide the user journey throughout the entire stack. Ideally, you\’ll also bring familiarity with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform) and thrive in a DevOps culture. You have extensive experience working in agile teams and are driven by delivering customer value. Ideally, you would also have a proven track record of delivering innovation. What we need from you Crafting software, writing tests, and debugging. Building and maintaining microservice-based applications (Java preferred). Familiarity with databases like PostgreSQL or Redis. Proficient in Linux for production environments. Experience with frameworks like Spring Boot and ORMs like Hibernate. Knowledgeable about cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud (AWS preferred). Understanding config management and infrastructure as code tools like Terraform and CloudFormation (Terraform preferred). Expertise in container technologies like Docker and ECS. Familiar with CI/CD and DevOps practices. Guide and mentor team members in modern data tooling, serving as a beacon of inspiration and support. Proficient in collaboration tools like JIRA, Confluence, Mural, and Slack. The role has a blended base, between our Central London office and home. We trust you to make the right decision about the type of work that is best done in each location. We expect you’ll achieve a 50/50 split between the two, and there may be times where you’ll want to visit our other locations to tell their stories, too (fully reimbursed). We might not be right for you if: You only want to focus on your to-do list; we’re a small, high-performing team, and we help each other to succeed. You value perfection over fast iteration and progress; IAG Loyalty moves fast, and we learn and iterate as we go; our environment isn’t right for everyone. You’re looking to create but not build; this is an end-to-end role, and you need to be comfortable owning your space, from ideation through to delivery and review. If you think you have what it takes but don\’t meet every single point above, please do still apply. We\’d love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.
