The Senior Developer will be a seasoned technologist contributing to the design and implementation of high‑throughput, mission‑critical services. This role does not manage direct reports but plays a key part in engineering delivery, cross‑team collaboration, and maintaining high standards of code quality, reliability, and technical execution.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and enhance Java‑based microservices, REST APIs, and event‑driven components.
  • Implement solutions for ISO 20022 message formats, transformations (XML/JSON), validations, and routing.
  • Build integrations using Mule ESB (or similar), messaging patterns, and Kafka/event streams.
  • Write performant SQL/PL‑SQL queries for Oracle‑based transactional systems.
  • Contribute to system designs, code reviews, and technical discussions (not full architectural ownership).
  • Champion quality through TDD/BDD, automated testing (JUnit, Cucumber), and CI/CD best practices.
  • Work closely with DevOps/SRE to support smooth builds, deployments, and production readiness.
  • Collaborate effectively within Agile squads and across dependent teams, providing mentorship where needed.
  • Produce documentation aligned to standards and support regulatory/scheme milestones.


Must‑Have Experience

  • Hands‑on Java/J2EE Development, microservices, REST APIs, and event‑driven architecture.
  • Experience working with payments systems, middleware or payment messages (CHAPS, TARGET2, SWIFT, RTP, ISO 20022).
  • Proficiency in Oracle SQL/PL‑SQL, including writing efficient queries for high‑volume systems.
  • Solid understanding of XML/JSON structures and message mapping/transformation.
  • Experience with Mule ESB or equivalent middleware, messaging tools, and Kafka.
  • Strong understanding of Agile delivery, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices.
  • Skilled in unit/integration testing frameworks (JUnit, Cucumber/Litmus).
  • Good communication skills and ability to collaborate in multi‑team delivery environments.


Nice to Have

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline.
  • Certifications related to Java, Cloud, Kafka, MuleSoft, or SAFe.
  • Experience with WebLogic/JBoss or other enterprise application servers.
  • Background in payments platform modernisation or event‑driven systems. xehkeey
