Java Software Engineer
An ambitious AI-driven technology scale-up is looking for a Java Software Engineer to join its growing development team.
The company develops a SaaS platform focused on workforce planning, time registration and reporting, helping organisations better manage how employees are scheduled and how working hours are recorded and analysed.
The platform is already used by thousands of users, with customers operating across a wide variety of industries.
With Artificial Intelligence rapidly changing the Workforce Management market, the company is investing heavily in its next generation of technology, including smarter workforce planning, automated processing and intelligent management insights.
As a Java Software Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to help shape that journey.

You'll work on the continued development and scalability of the company's core SaaS platform, building robust software used by thousands of people every day.
You'll work closely with colleagues across Software Development, Product Management and Customer Success, transforming product ideas and customer requirements into reliable, scalable software.
Importantly, this isn't simply a ticket-driven development position. You'll have the opportunity to influence architecture, propose new technologies and contribute to how AI capabilities are integrated into the product.
Responsibilities
- Develop new platform functionality using Java
- Build and maintain Spring Boot microservices
- Design and develop scalable REST APIs
- Build integrations with external platforms and systems
- Write clean, maintainable and well-documented code
- Participate in code reviews
- Test, debug and optimise existing applications
- Improve platform reliability, performance and scalability
- Contribute to software architecture and technical decisions

- Third-party system integrations
Why Join?
This opportunity would suit somebody looking to move into an environment where they'll have more ownership and influence over the technology they're building.
You'll join a growing technology business with short decision-making lines, where engineers are encouraged to contribute ideas and good technical suggestions can quickly make their way into production.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Build software used by thousands of users every day
- Work extensively with Java, Spring Boot and microservices
- Contribute to a growing, business-critical SaaS platform
- Work on practical applications of AI
- Influence architecture and technical decisions
- Take ownership of features from idea through to production
- Work within a collaborative, relatively small engineering environment
- Continue developing your technical skills through training and development
What's on Offer?
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Hybrid working
- Flexible working hours
- Company laptop and phone
