Earlier in your career and ready to go deep? This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-trust engineering squad and grow into a genuinely full-stack, cloud-native engineer - with real mentorship, real ownership, and a team that's invested in your development from day one.
This is not a Grad role but we're also not looking for someone who's done it all. We're looking for someone who's hungry to learn, takes pride in their craft, and wants to build something meaningful in a regulated financial services environment where engineering quality actually matters.
If you have strong fundamentals, the curiosity to keep growing, and the self-awareness to ask the right questions - we want to talk to you.
What you'll be doing
* Contributing to scalable AWS‐native infrastructure using CDK alongside experienced engineers
* Building backend services and APIs in Java 21 / Spring Boot with guidance and code review
* Developing TypeScript frontend features and end‐to‐end user experiences
* Working with PostgreSQL, Aurora and RDS as you develop your data skills
* Learning to use AI coding assistants effectively as a daily productivity tool
* Growing into operational ownership; monitoring, observability, and continuous improvement
* Participating in planning, demos and stakeholder engagement as your confidence builds
The stack you'll grow into
We don't expect you to know all of this on day one. These are the technologies you'll work with and develop real depth in over time - with support.
Cloud & infrastructure
AWS, CDK (infrastructure as code), Cognito / Entra for user management
Frontend
TypeScript, Modern web application frameworks
AI & modern tooling
AWS Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, Agentic workflow design
Engineering practices
CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps, Automated testing, Monitoring & observability
Who you are
* You have solid grounding in software engineering fundamentals; clean code, testing, sound design
* You've written production-quality code in at least one backend or frontend language and want to broaden your skills
* You have some exposure to cloud environments, even if AWS CDK is new to you
* You ask questions early, communicate openly, and take feedback well
* You're genuinely excited about AI tooling and curious about where it's heading
* You approach problems methodically - you understand the need before jumping to a solution
* You see stepping outside your comfort zone as part of the job, not a reason to hesitate
What to expect from us
* A senior & principal engineer in the squad who will actively support your growth
* Formal salary review at 12 months with a clear path to mid-level banding
* Real ownership from early on — we won't keep you on the sidelines
* A team culture built on open communication, shared accountability, and continuous improvement
