Java Software Engineer
Software Engineer - Backend, Java
Location: Bristol (Hybrid – 3 days per week) Salary: Up to £50,000 Industry: ClimateTech
Join Bohr and grow your backend skills while making a real difference—your software will help reduce methane emissions across Europe’s gas networks.
About Bohr
Bohr exists to decarbonise energy through innovation.
Through our methane emissions division, Tectrac, we combine mobile leak detection technology with cloud platforms, analytics, and GIS-led insights. Our systems help utilities detect, prioritise, and repair methane leaks faster, reducing emissions, increasing safety, and accelerating the transition to net zero across the UK and Europe.
The Role
We’re looking for a Java Software Engineer to join our backend team and help develop the cloud-based platforms behind our methane detection and emissions intelligence systems.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll:
- Write and improve production Java code for backend services processing survey, sensor, and geospatial data.
- Work closely with experienced engineers to implement RESTful APIs, data pipelines, and distributed systems.
- Gradually take on more responsibility as your skills develop.
- Gain exposure to production reliability, system performance, and incident investigations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Outcomes:
- Deliver well-tested Java features and robust APIs.
- Learn and apply software engineering best practices (code quality, system design, release management).
- Contribute to reliable, frequent releases.
- Deepen your understanding of cloud infrastructure, data systems, and distributed architectures.
- See your impact: your work directly reduces methane emissions.
Requirements
We’re looking for a curious, self-driven developer with a mix of practical Java skills and a passion for solving real-world problems.
Essential:
- 3+ years of professional Java development experience (commercial projects preferred).
- Experience building or contributing to RESTful APIs.
- Strong working knowledge of SQL databases (planning, optimisation, querying).
- Familiarity with cloud environments (preference for Microsoft Azure, but others considered).
- Exposure to version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing (unit, integration, etc.).
- Good communication and the ability to work well in a collaborative, iterative team.
Desirable:
- Interest or experience with data-heavy, geospatial, or analytics-driven systems.
- Basic familiarity with containers/docker or microservices architecture.
- Curiosity about energy infrastructure, environmental data, or infrastructure monitoring.
- A desire to grow into a more senior engineering role in the long term.
