Senior Java Technical Lead | Distributed Data Platforms
I'm partnering with a leading global financial institution seeking a Senior Java Engineer to help shape the future of a critical enterprise-wide data platform.
This is not a role maintaining existing systems. You'll be responsible for driving the evolution of a highly distributed platform that sits at the centre of multiple business areas and supports real-time decision-making across the organisation.
You'll have significant influence over architecture, engineering standards, and technical direction while remaining deeply hands-on in the design and development of high-performance systems.
What you'll be doing
- Architecting and building highly scalable distributed services responsible for processing and delivering business-critical data at scale
- Solving complex challenges around performance, resiliency, observability, and data quality
- Driving the adoption of modern engineering practices across a strategic platform undergoing continued evolution
- Working directly with senior business stakeholders to turn complex requirements into robust technical solutions
- Leading technical discussions, mentoring engineers, and influencing architectural decisions across multiple teams
- Playing a key role in shaping the long-term roadmap of a platform that is central to the firm's data strategy
