Java Software Engineer – Active SC

£70 per hour Umbrella | Inside IR35 | 12 Month Contract | Newcastle upon Tyne (4 days per week onsite, 1 remote working) | UKEO

We're looking for an experienced Java Software Engineer to join a major UK defence programme, developing scalable cloud-based software within a modern Agile engineering environment.

This is a hands-on Java development role, with a strong cloud-native focus and exposure to containerisation and DevSecOps throughout the software lifecycle.

Key experience:

• Strong commercial Java development experience
• Cloud services / cloud-native development
• Unit and automated testing
• Spring / Spring Boot and microservices
• Kubernetes and/or Red Hat OpenShift
• CI/CD and DevSecOps experience
• SonarQube, Tekton, ArgoCD, Quarkus or Angular beneficial

Due to the security restrictions of the programme, applicants must already hold active SC clearance and be a sole British national. Unfortunately, candidates who do not meet both requirements cannot be considered.

If you're an SC-cleared Java Engineer with strong cloud and Kubernetes/OpenShift experience, please apply with an up-to-date CV for further details.
