Software Engineer - ID50109

Oxfordshire | 1 day per week onsite | Up to £80k + Bonus

Are you a Software Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and building reliable products at scale?

Would you like to work on technology used by millions of people around the world?

We're working with a global technology organisation looking for a Software Engineer to join a highly experienced product engineering team in Oxfordshire.

This is a hands-on, backend-focused role where you'll build customer-facing products, solve interesting technical challenges and take ownership of your work from design through to production.

The Role

You'll work within a collaborative engineering team responsible for developing and improving large-scale digital products.

Your work will include:

• Designing and building backend services and APIs
• Developing new customer-facing features
• Solving problems around scalability, performance and reliability
• Working with relational databases and distributed systems
• Contributing to technical design and architecture discussions
• Writing well-tested, maintainable software
• Monitoring and improving applications in production
• Working closely with product, design, data and engineering teams
• Contributing across the stack when needed
• Using modern AI-assisted development tools to support the engineering process

The backend is primarily Java, with React used on the frontend and AWS across the cloud environment.

Engineers from C#, .NET, Go or Python backgrounds are also encouraged to apply. You don't need commercial Java experience, but you must be happy to transition to Java and use it as your primary backend language.

About You

We're looking for an engineer with strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production applications.

You'll ideally have:

• Commercial backend software engineering experience
• Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms and object-oriented programming
• Experience designing or developing APIs
• Good knowledge of SQL and relational databases
• An understanding of software design, testing and maintainability
• Experience working within a collaborative engineering team
• An interest in building scalable and reliable systems
• The ability to discuss technical decisions and the trade-offs behind them

Experience with Java, Spring Boot, React, AWS, NoSQL, distributed systems, event-driven architecture, CI/CD, observability or AI-assisted development would be beneficial, but you aren't expected to have worked with everything listed.

Why Join?

You'll be joining an engineering environment where technical quality and continuous learning are taken seriously.

You'll have the opportunity to work on products operating at global scale, learn from experienced engineers and take increasing ownership of technically challenging work.

It's a strong opportunity for someone who wants to deepen their backend engineering skills while continuing to develop across system design, cloud technology and modern product development.

Interested?

If you're looking for a role where you can build meaningful software, solve challenging engineering problems and continue developing your technical skills, we'd like to hear from you.
