Senior Java Engineer

Ireland (Hybrid) · Urgent Requirement

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are urgently seeking a highly skilled Senior Java Engineer to join our client team based in Ireland on a hybrid working model.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Minimum 8 years of active,

hands-on Java development — candidates must demonstrate current, working proficiency, not experience from several years ago.

  • Strong, up-to-date

expertise in Java OOP principles, concurrency, and modern Java features; recent and regular practice is essential.

  • Proven, current hands-on

experience with Spring Boot — candidates must be able to build and discuss Spring Boot applications confidently during technical evaluation.

  • Real-world coding

experience in microservices architecture — candidates must be able to describe actual implementations and write microservices code; conceptual understanding alone is not sufficient.

  • Solid practical knowledge

of Apache Kafka in a production setting, including producing, consuming, and managing topics — basic or introductory exposure will not meet the requirement.

  • Experience working in Agile

/ Scrum delivery environments.

  • Good communication skills

and ability to collaborate effectively with onsite and distributed teams.

Benefits

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design, develop, and

maintain scalable backend services using Java and Spring Boot.

  • Build and evolve

microservices within a distributed systems architecture.

  • Develop and maintain

Kafka-based event-driven pipelines.

  • Conduct and participate in

code reviews to uphold code quality standards.

  • Collaborate with

architects, product owners, and cross-functional teams to deliver features end-to-end.

  • Contribute to technical

documentation, design decisions, and best practices.
