Job description
We’re hiring a hands-on Principal Java Engineer to help modernize and scale a critical enterprise platform at a leading global bank. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who enjoys shaping architecture and writing production code — not managing people.
You’ll play a key role in defining technical direction, accelerating delivery, and solving complex engineering problems across distributed, enterprise-scale systems.
What You’ll Do
Design and evolve architecture for large-scale, distributed platforms
Write high-quality, production code in Java (Spring Boot)- at least Java 17
Lead modernization, re-architecture, scaling, and greenfield initiatives
Build prototypes and reference implementations that set engineering standards
Partner with product, platform, and business teams to translate requirements into solutions
Present architectural designs and influence platform-wide technical decisions
Mentor engineers through technical leadership and best practices
What We’re Looking For
10-15+ years of software engineering experience with strong architectural depth
Expertise in Java, SQL, REST APIs, streaming APIs
Experience with cloud platforms, microservices, containers, and NoSQL
Strong understanding of performance, scalability, resiliency, and security
Experience with enterprise platforms and complex environments
Clear communicator who can influence across teams
Exposure to emerging technologies, including GenAI , is a plus
Why This Role
Work on complex, mission-critical systems at scale
