📋 Description

• ITRS Group is looking for Senior Java Engineer in London. • Reporting to our Engineering Manager, you will sit in the Platform Team and form part of a wider global Engineering Team. • The Core Platform layer is a collection of distributed services which ingest, transform and materialise observability data. • We are looking to strengthen our core platform team in anticipation of wider customer adoption through 2025. • Our role offers a permanent, full-time position working from our London office on a hybrid work schedule. • Participate in all phases of the product lifecycle, including design, development, documentation, testing, integration, deployment, and ongoing support. • Participate in mentoring relationships — both giving and receiving guidance— to foster mutual growth and development within the team. • Approach our products and customer challenges with curiosity, striving to understand the solutions we deliver. • Work with team members to develop innovative, customer-centric solutions. • Take part in team support responsibilities to ensure reliable service for our customers. • Advocate for a culture of quality and testing, offering guidance and support to team members less experienced in these practices. • Learn as much as you can about our company, team and product in your first 30 days. • Complete hands-on training with ITRS Analytics and other products in the ITRS portfolio. • Follow an onboarding checklist and meet with team members from across the company. • Pair with current team members for meetings, demos, and presentations. • Review recorded sales calls and learn our sales motion in your first 30 days. • Assume ownership of an initial subset of the product in your first 90 days.

🎯 Requirements

• You are predominantly a backend Java developer with at least 7 years of experience building complex distributed systems. • You have built applications from the ground-up with a deep understanding of core Java, data structures and concurrency, rather than relying on frameworks such as Spring. • You have built event-driven applications using Kafka and solutions with event-streaming frameworks at scale (Flink / Kafka Streams / Spark) that go beyond basic ETL pipelines. • You know how to orchestrate the deployment of applications on Kubernetes, including defining services, deployments, stateful sets etc. and where to look if there is a problem. • You know how to design systems from a macro-level through to the micro-level optimisations needed to build high-performance, scalable solutions. • You have tackled hard problems in the past around data consistency vs availability and have designed systems around these considerations. • You have designed complex data models and managed their evolution to limit breaking-changes and support backwards compatibility. • You have a focus on delivery and an awareness of how your contribution in a software team delivers end-value in a product. • You have likely tuned garbage collection, fixed CPU hotspots and analysed heap dumps to find memory leaks on JVMs. • You have likely instrumented custom metrics in your application and used monitoring/observability tools to understand how they behave in different environments and to identify the root cause of issues.
