Do you enjoy shaping the technical direction of complex, large-scale systems - and doing it with modern Java at the highest level?

My client is looking for a Principal Java Engineer to take a lead role in defining architecture, driving engineering standards and delivering systems that matter. This isn't a heads-down coding role - it's for someone who can operate at the intersection of deep technical expertise and strategic thinking, and who wants to leave a real mark on the systems and teams they work with.

Based in Belfast, the team offers a flexible hybrid setup to suit how you work best.

What you'll be doing

  • Setting the technical direction and architectural vision for core backend systems
  • Leading design and delivery of large-scale, high-performance Java applications
