Senior Backend Engineer (Java) – Identity
We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer (Java) to help design, build and evolve secure, reliable identity services used across a range of digital products. You will work on systems responsible for authentication, authorisation, account lifecycle management, identity verification and access control. The role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, giving you the opportunity to shape architecture, raise engineering standards and deliver resilient services at scale.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining Java-based backend applications and APIs, contributing to technical design and architectural decisions, and ensuring services are highly available, observable and secure. You will collaborate with product managers, frontend engineers, security specialists, platform teams and other stakeholders to translate complex requirements into practical solutions. You will also review code, mentor less experienced engineers, improve development practices, investigate production issues and contribute to automated testing, continuous integration and deployment. A strong focus on data protection, threat awareness and operational excellence is essential when working with identity-related systems.
You should have substantial professional experience building backend services with Java and a strong understanding of object-oriented design, modern development frameworks and API design, particularly RESTful services. Experience with distributed systems, microservices, relational and/or NoSQL databases, messaging technologies and cloud platforms will be valuable. You should be comfortable working with automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and infrastructure managed through code. Familiarity with authentication and authorisation standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect or SAML is highly desirable. We are looking for a thoughtful and collaborative engineer who communicates clearly, takes ownership, enjoys solving complex problems and can balance delivery with long-term maintainability and security.
