Senior Full Stack Engineer (GCB4) | Location: Sheffield (Hybrid – 3 days in office)
We’re hiring two Senior Full Stack Engineers (GCB4) to build and run modern, production-grade software using Java 21+, microservices, PostgreSQL, and React. This is an end-to-end engineering role with a strong focus on backend services, API design, and production ownership in a global enterprise environment.
What you’ll do
- Build and ship features across the stack: React UI, Java 21+ microservices, and PostgreSQL-backed services
- Design microservice-aligned solutions: service boundaries, API contracts, integration patterns, versioning
- Deliver secure, high-performance REST APIs with maintainable, testable code
- Containerise services with Docker and support deployment/runtime on Kubernetes (configuration, scaling, resilience)
- Drive strong engineering practices: clean code, automated testing, trunk-based development, peer reviews, and continuous improvement
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.
What you’ll bring (must-have)
- Strong modern Java experience (Java 21+ preferred) building production services (Spring Boot experience helpful, but solid core Java is key)
- Proven experience taking backend applications to production and supporting them
- Hands-on microservices experience (service-to-service communication, versioning, clear boundaries)
- Strong SQL skills with PostgreSQL preferred (data modelling, indexing, performance tuning)
- Strong delivery/operability mindset: CI/CD, high-cadence releases, and ownership of NFRs (availability, observability, auditability, data integrity)
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Nice to have
- Strong Kubernetes experience (beyond basics) and deployment strategies
- Observability tooling experience and incident/production support maturity
- Experience in banking/regulated environments
- Stronger React/TypeScript capability if you enjoy contributing on the UI layer
