With offices in London and Dublin, we are a leading FinTech firm working with thousands of businesses and some of the world’s largest financial institutions.

What is the role?

We are seeking a mid-level Java developer to join our team. This role is very different from a typical corporate’s where the work could be quite narrowly focused.

You will have exposure to MasterCard payment applications, European SEPA and UK Faster Payments, customer-facing web and mobile applications and API, and SaaS integrations.

The role entails:

• Contribute to the low-level designs, write AWS SAM
• Develop high quality, secure, scalable backend services based on SOA, server less applications, microservices patterns
• Create and manage data architectures, develop database queries
• Write unit and integration tests – we do a lot of those(!)
• Contribute to the engineering process improvements
• Learn on the job and find solutions to challenges (we love a can-do attitude)
• Find better ways to do things, never accept ‘that’s just how it’s done’

What should you have?

• BSc/MSc degree or equivalent in Computer Science or related discipline
• Experience in the financial services domain
• 5+ years experience with Java and the Spring Framework, along with SQL, NoSQL, JavaScript HTML, CSS
• Exposure to the AWS or Azure-based IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings
• Experience with microservices patterns would be a plus
• Knowledge of API gateways, Tomcat, Maven, Jenkins, and other CI/CD tools
• Knowledge of OWASP
• Ability to articulate your reasoning and solutions to colleagues – practice the art of communication
• Must be eligible to work in Ireland
• Available for work from the office 3 days per week

Our selection process includes technical tests, competency-based technical interview, and team interviews. Understanding our business context can be helpful.

As a member of the fire.com team you will be contributing to the development of new and innovative fintech solutions – working with an experienced team, you will have the opportunity to make an impact.

What else?

You will be joining a fast-growing established fintech business with offices in Dublin and London. You will have the opportunity to learn, develop and make an impact. In addition to offering a competitive salary and commission scheme we will provide you with a great place to work, engage and take responsibility for delivering compelling financial services products. This is a hybrid role with part work from home and part office based.
