Full Stack Engineer (Java) – Financial Services
Location: Manchester (Hybrid)
Salary: Competitive + excellent benefits

We’re working with a global financial services organisation looking to hire a Full Stack Engineer to join a high-impact engineering team delivering scalable, enterprise-grade solutions.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who is strong in Java and enjoys working across the full stack, contributing to architecture, delivery, and modern engineering practices.

The role

You’ll play a key role in delivering end-to-end software solutions, working closely with product and business stakeholders to build secure, scalable, and resilient systems.

While this is a full stack role, there is a strong emphasis on Java (Spring) and backend engineering, alongside exposure to modern frontend, cloud and DevOps environments.

Key responsibilities

  • Design, build and deliver scalable microservices using Java (Spring)
  • Own delivery across the full software lifecycle (design, build, test, deploy, support)
  • Work closely with stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions
  • Contribute to architecture decisions, system integrations and modernisation initiatives
  • Implement best practices across code quality, testing and DevOps
  • Support cloud adoption and platform improvements
  • Develop and integrate AI-driven capabilities into applications and workflows
  • Ensure high standards across security, performance, and reliability

What we’re looking for

  • Strong Java development experience (Spring) in complex environments
  • Experience building microservices and API-driven architectures
  • Good understanding of DevOps practices (CI/CD, automation, testing)
  • Experience with tools such as GitLab, Docker, Splunk, AppDynamics
  • Exposure to frontend technologies (JavaScript / TypeScript, Angular)
  • Experience working in agile environments (Scrum / Kanban)
  • Interest or experience in AI tools and integrating AI into applications
  • Financial services experience is beneficial

Tech environment

  • Backend: Java (Spring, Maven), Groovy
  • Frontend: JavaScript / TypeScript (Angular)
  • Architecture: Microservices
  • Testing: JUnit, Spock
  • DevOps & tooling: GitLab, Docker, CI/CD pipelines
  • Cloud & monitoring: Private cloud, Splunk, AppDynamics

Why apply

  • Join a globally recognised financial services organisation
  • Work on large-scale, high-impact systems
  • Strong focus on modern engineering practices and innovation
  • Opportunity to work with AI-driven technologies
  • Excellent career progression within a structured environment

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
