Senior Java Engineer – Payments

Location: London

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Java Engineer with strong hands-on experience across ICON IPF and payment systems to join a team delivering large-scale payment solutions for major banking clients.

You’ll work on modern, cloud-based architectures, contributing to the development of high-performing payment platforms while collaborating closely with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

The Role

  • Develop and deliver large-scale payment solutions using Java, Spring Boot and microservices
  • Work hands-on with the ICON IPF Payments framework
  • Build and integrate cloud-based payment architectures within AWS
  • Design and develop asynchronous, event-driven solutions using Apache Kafka
  • Apply strong knowledge of ISO 20022 payments, including payment types and schemes
  • Work closely with major banking clients to understand requirements and deliver technical solutions
  • Collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders throughout the delivery lifecycle
  • Contribute to modernisation and transformation of large-scale payment platforms

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
