What We’re Looking For * At least 2 years of hands-on Java development experience. * Strong problem-solving skills and an ability to work in an agile, fast-paced environment. * A solid understanding of modern Java frameworks, tools, and best practices. * Someone who enjoys learning, improving, and taking ownership of their work. * Good communication and collaboration skills. We know that job descriptions can sometimes feel like a wish list. If you don’t meet every single requirement but believe you’d be a great fit, we encourage you to apply anyway – we’re looking for potential as much as experience. What’s on Offer * Hybrid working – typically two days a week in the office, with flexibility. * Private medical insurance – your health matters. * Travel allowance – support for your commute. * 25 days holiday (+ option to buy more) – work-life balance is key. * Pension scheme – plan for the future. * Annual performance-based bonus – your contributions are valued. * Life and income protection insurance – peace of mind for you and your family. * Additional benefits – including dental, critical illness cover, and cycle-to-work schemes.
