Insight Global is seeking a mid-level Java Developer for one of their premier financial services clients in Birmingham, UK. As a Java Developer on this team, you will play a crucial role in a strategic project involving the evaluation, migration, and potential decommissioning of approximately 60 existing services inherited from a separate division. These services need to be assessed to determine whether they should be maintained, enhanced, rebuilt, or retired.
Responsibilities
Investigate and understand the flow of services—particularly from the deposit side—collaborating with tech counterparts to design migration or sunset plans, and then implementing those plans.
Work hands-on with existing codebases, enhancing and updating as needed, rather than building applications from scratch or doing heavy architectural work.
Own tasks end-to-end with strong ownership and effective communication.
Work closely with stakeholders to identify application usage, engage in light production support (such as reviewing and investigating logs), and coordinate with both technical and business teams.
Qualifications
Must Haves: 3.5-6 years of professional Java development experience
Strong experience with Reading/writing from Kafka in Java
Experience with Microservices architecture using Spring, Quarkus or Vertx
Familiarity with log investigation and production support tasks
Ability to read, write, and enhance existing codebases
