This is a remote position.Technical Lead​

About the role

We are hiring a Technical Lead to own the technical direction of enterprise Java application development on a major banking programme. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll lead a team of engineers, set standards, and steward a substantial existing Java estate running on enterprise application servers — while helping modernise it towards a cloud-ready, microservices architecture.

You'll be the technical anchor across design, build, integration and release, and the bridge between architecture, delivery teams and business stakeholders.

What you'll do

• Lead the design and delivery of enterprise Java applications end-to-end.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership on IBM WebSphere / WebSphere Liberty (or comparable Java application server) estates — deployment, configuration, tuning, upgrades and troubleshooting.
• Set coding standards, run design and code reviews, and mentor a team of engineers.
• Drive modernisation: decomposing monolithic/app-server workloads towards Spring Boot microservices, containers and CI/CD.
• Own non-functional quality — performance, resilience, security, scalability and observability.
• Plan and coordinate technical delivery across SIT, UAT and production releases; manage technical risk and dependencies.
• Partner with enterprise architects, BAs, infrastructure and vendor teams.
