Job Description
Lead Java Engineer – London | £140k + Shares
Java 21, Spring Boot, Microservices, TDD, BDD, REST, AWS, React
You know that feeling when you’re not just writing code, you’re building the engine behind something that moves money, manages risk, and scales globally?
That’s exactly what this team is doing.
They’re a fast-growing FinTech tackling cross-border payments, treasury systems, and crypto liquidity. It’s all greenfield, all high-impact. No legacy systems or old fluff to get through. Just clean architecture, smart engineering, and a product already making serious waves.
You’ll join a small, senior team building real-time financial infrastructure from the ground up, card payments, transaction booking, FX flows, the kind of systems that need to be fast, secure, and bulletproof.
Tech stack: Java 21 (you’ll need experience with Java 17+, must), Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, AWS, TDD, CI/CD, React.
As a Lead Engineer, you’ll have the freedom to shape the team, influence architecture, and build things the right way. They’re in-office just 1–2 days a week in London, backed by serious investors, and scaling fast, hiring 8 engineers by December.
If you’ve built systems in finance, payments, trading, or startup environments, this one’s for you.
Up to £140k salary, plus shares, bonuses, and a chance to build something that actually matters.
