Java Software Engineer (Rosebank)

We’re building the future of digital banking for business clients — simplified, scalable, and client-first. If you’re a seasoned Back-End Software Engineer ready to design, develop, and optimize systems that power online and app-based banking platforms, this role is for you.

As a Back-End Engineer, you’ll own the full software development lifecycle — from architecture and design to deployment and performance tuning. You’ll work with modern tech stacks (Java, Spring Boot, AWS, PostgreSQL, Kafka) to build reliable, high-performing systems while mentoring fellow developers and collaborating with stakeholders to push digital banking forward.

�� What you’ll do

• Build and maintain robust back-end systems for digital business banking platforms.
• Design and implement scalable, secure software solutions.
• Develop APIs and integrate message-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Optimize databases (PostgreSQL, NoSQL) for performance and reliability.
• Deploy and scale with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes.
• Drive DevOps excellence with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub workflows.
• Mentor developers and contribute to system design and architecture decisions.

�� What we’re looking for

• 6+ years’ back-end software development experience.
• Strong Java and Spring Boot expertise, with solid design pattern knowledge.
• Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases.
• Cloud and containerization experience (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to RESTful APIs, message-driven systems, DevOps pipelines.
• Analytical mindset, problem-solving ability, and strong communication skills.
• Tertiary IT qualification preferred (Grade 12 minimum).

�� Why this role?

• Be at the center of cutting-edge digital banking solutions.
• Hybrid work setup with modern tools and practices.
• Lead and mentor while still being hands-on in back-end engineering.
• Competitive salary up to R1.2m PA (negotiable).
