dcoded are proud to be the exclusive talent partner to a cutting-edge fin-tech based in Bristol, currently building a brand-new greenfield platform set to transform financial services infrastructure.

They\’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Java) to play a hands-on role in the architecture and development of this next-gen system. You\’ll be working with modern Java (17-21) in a cloud-native environment (AWS/GCP/Azure), building highly available, distributed systems using Kafka, RabbitMQ, and micro-services architecture. The front end is built with React.js, and there\’s increasing adoption of Kotlin across the stack.

This is a rare chance to work on a genuinely greenfield project – ie no legacy code, no technical debt… just smart engineering, complex problems, and full ownership from day one.

Finance, payments or trading experience is highly desirable, along with a passion for clean code, scalable design, and modern engineering practices (TDD, CI/CD, containerisation).

You\’ll join a collaborative hybrid team (2 days in the Bristol office), with strong benefits and clear progression.
