Java Software Engineer - #2166624

Java Software Engineer | Birmingham | £45,000–£52,000

We’re working with a growing software business looking to add another Java Software Engineer to their Birmingham development team.

This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply maintaining existing applications and take greater ownership of genuine software development and project-based work.

You’ll be developing bespoke, business-critical software solutions used within the law enforcement sector, working across the full development lifecycle and gaining exposure across backend, database and web technologies.

The role:

• £45,000–£52,000

• Birmingham / Birmingham International

• Java, Spring Boot & J2EE

• Hibernate / JPA

• SQL Server & MySQL

• Linux – Red Hat / Rocky Linux

• Full-stack application development

• Bespoke, technically challenging project work

• Genuine scope for progression and increased responsibility

You don’t need to tick every box.

The key thing we’re looking for is a developer with strong commercial Java experience who can demonstrate meaningful development work, technical problem-solving and ownership of the projects they’ve contributed to.

Experience across Spring Boot, SQL and Linux would put you in a particularly strong position, while broader frontend/full-stack exposure is a bonus.

Alongside the salary, there’s a strong benefits package including 25 days' holiday, 6% employer pension contribution, private medical insurance, life insurance and free onsite parking.

Due to the nature of the projects, applicants will need to be eligible to undergo UK Government

Security Clearance.

Interested, or just want to understand a bit more about the projects and team?

Drop me a message or apply and I’ll happily talk you through it.
