Full Stack Java / J2EE Developer
Bristol (Hybrid) | £40,000-£50,000 | Minimum 4 years' experience

Fancy building software that actually gets used - and actually matters?

We're a well-established company going through an exciting period of growth and digital transformation, and we're on the lookout for an experienced Full Stack Java / J2EE Developer to join us. This isn't a graduate or entry-level role - we need someone who can hit the ground running across both front-end and back-end development from day one.

Why you'll enjoy it here

You'll get real ownership of projects across the full software lifecycle - from requirements and design through to development, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement. Think business-critical systems, cloud-based solutions, integrations, and platforms that scale - all in a collaborative team where your input genuinely shapes the outcome.

What you'll be doing

• Designing, building, and maintaining Java and J2EE applications that support key business processes
• Working across the full stack on a variety of development projects
• Getting involved in solution design, technical discussions, peer reviews, and walkthroughs
• Supporting integrations, APIs, cloud platforms, and connected digital solutions
• Troubleshooting production issues and delivering solid, lasting fixes
• Writing clear documentation for handover and knowledge sharing
• Contributing to build, deployment, release, and continuous improvement practices
• Working closely with stakeholders to turn requirements into practical solutions

What we're looking for

• Minimum 4 years' commercial experience in Java / J2EE development, front-end and back-end
• Strong knowledge of J2EE, RESTful Web Services, and frameworks such as Struts
• Solid understanding of unit, integration, system, and regression testing
• Confidence with Git, SVN, and Eclipse
• A practical, collaborative approach to problem-solving
• Genuine curiosity about modern development practices and new technology

Nice to have:

• Docker or Kubernetes
• UNIX/Linux experience
• Build, configuration, and release management
• APIs and system integration experience
• Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Additional languages such as C++, Python, Perl, or JavaScript

What's in it for you

Alongside a competitive salary and pension, you'll get 24/7 GP access, retail and cinema discounts, career progression opportunities, mental health first aid support on-site, staff socials and wellbeing initiatives, free on-site parking (location dependent), and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
