Senior Java Engineer

Spring Boot / PostgreSQL / AWS | Remote | £60,000 | HealthTech

About The Company

Arc IT Recruitment is representing an established UK-based HealthTech organisation seeking a Senior Java Engineer to help build and develop its product. The company operates a live software-as-a-service platform and works in a sector where reliable, secure technology can support meaningful outcomes for organisations and the people they serve. You will join a collaborative team that brings together software engineering, product, design and clinical perspectives.

The organisation is continuing to develop its existing platform, so this is an opportunity to contribute to new product capabilities while improving established systems in a considered, practical way. Rather than pursuing change for its own sake, the team values sound engineering decisions, thoughtful delivery and software that works reliably in production.

About The Role

This is a hands-on senior engineering position for an experienced Java developer who enjoys taking ownership from initial requirements through to production. You will contribute across the full development lifecycle: understanding problems, shaping technical designs, modelling data, building APIs and business logic, testing changes, reviewing code and supporting safe releases.

You will work on new features for a Java and Spring Boot SaaS platform, partnering with product, design and clinical colleagues to turn user and business needs into dependable software. The role also includes investigating production issues and client-reported problems, helping the team maintain a high standard of service while continuing to deliver improvements. Seniority here means technical ownership and collaborative leadership, while remaining actively involved in writing and delivering code.

Qualifications

You will bring at least five years of commercial Java development experience, including recent work building application features and business logic for a product. You should have strong core Java knowledge, including object-oriented design, collections, exceptions, immutability and an understanding of concurrency fundamentals.

Practical Spring Boot experience is important, particularly across Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA or Hibernate, and Spring Security. You will be comfortable designing REST APIs and domain models, and have good SQL skills covering relational schema design, indexes, transactions and the investigation of slow queries. PostgreSQL experience is ideal.

You should also have developer-level AWS experience and understand how an application runs in a cloud environment. A clear understanding of security best practices, experience owning features through to production, and the ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical colleagues are essential. A collaborative mindset and a pragmatic approach to improving existing systems will help you succeed.

Responsibilities

You will build and maintain product features on the live Java and Spring Boot platform, working closely with colleagues across engineering, product, design and clinical teams. You will design and implement REST APIs, domain models and PostgreSQL schemas, and write clean, maintainable code supported by unit and integration tests.

Alongside feature development, you will investigate and resolve production and client-reported issues, contribute to code reviews, and share your experience by mentoring junior developers. You will help evaluate technical approaches, improve the existing platform incrementally, and support the safe delivery of changes into production. Throughout, you will balance delivery needs with quality, security and the long-term maintainability of the product.

Benefits

The role offers a salary of £60,000 and remote working within a UK-based HealthTech organisation. You will have the opportunity to take meaningful ownership of product development, work across the full engineering lifecycle and collaborate with colleagues who bring different perspectives to the challenges being solved. Specific additional benefits can be discussed during the recruitment process.

Equal Opportunity

Arc IT Recruitment and its client are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment. Applications are welcomed from qualified candidates with a range of backgrounds and experiences. Selection will be based on relevant skills, experience and suitability for the role, without discrimination on the basis of any characteristic protected by applicable law.
