• Strong hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, Angular and API development.
• Experience working with enterprise applications and integrated solutions.
• A strong understanding of microservices and modern software development practices.
• Experience contributing to solution design and technical architecture.

Where to find and apply safely

Practical tips

Because this role spans Intermediate and Senior levels, pitch your application to the level that matches your experience, and show it with concrete examples: the microservices and APIs you have built, the Angular work you have delivered, and the cloud environments you have supported. If you have financial services or investment industry experience, highlight it, since the advert flags it as an advantage.
