Senior Java Fullstack Developer - VP level - Investment Technology / Finance

An industry leading global financial and technology organisation are looking for Senior Java Software Engineers with 7+ years’ experience, who have some experience in React or similar, plus modern JavaScript/TypeScript, who like to innovate and be part of a team creating next-generation investment finance technology.

Based in London, you will be a key part of the team responsible for engineering a cloud-first Private Markets platform using a microservice architecture, supporting hundreds of client businesses, managing and analysing their portfolios. The team’s focus is to design and implement authorisation and permissions management using RBAC and policy based approaches. The team owns permissions management capabilities (roles, entitlements, lifecycle changes) and drives integration with the central authentication platform to enable consistent access control across applications and environments.

The team is very quickly moving to AI-enabled development, and you will be at the heart of that transformation.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely alongside the Engineering Lead to deliver the technical strategy for your team.
  • Deliver high efficiency, high availability, concurrent and fault tolerant software systems using API-First principles.
  • Design, develop, and implement secure, scalable, and reliable micro-services to deliver client-facing applications using a Java backend and React frontend.
  • Optimize performance and reliability through continuous testing, debugging, and refinement.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies to drive innovation and maintain a competitive edge, with a particular focus on AI.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to more junior developers, fostering a culture of learning and growth within the team.

Ideal profile

  • 7+ years of professional experience in Java development, with a focus on building client facing APIs or platforms
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience managing and mentoring diverse teams.
  • Knowledge of building applications using AI tooling and frameworks (e.g. LLMs, prompt engineering, vector databases).
  • Experience integrating AI/ML services into backend systems and APIs.
  • Familiarity with AI driven development practices and tools for code generation and testing.
  • Strong proficiency in Java and related frameworks (e.g. Spring Boot, Hibernate).
  • Some experience in React or similar and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Solid experience with object oriented design and applying standard design patterns
  • Experience designing, building, and deploying scalable microservices using API first principles with REST and/or gRPC.
  • Experience with API authentication and authorization mechanisms (e.g. OAuth, JWT).
  • Hands on experience with engineering tools such as Git, Maven, unit and integration testing frameworks, and mocking libraries.
  • Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud services in an enterprise environment is beneficial.
  • Experience with message brokers such as Kafka a plus.
  • A friendly, positive, and can do attitude.
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

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.
