Senior Software Engineer (Java)

Exciting Bristol SaaS Business | £3M Funding | Fully Cloud

£65-70k Salary Range

Hybrid working - 2 days per week (flexible)

SR2 have exclusively partnered with a Bristol based SaaS business, who after some recent success of securing multi-million pound funding and partnering with a new US based Hedge Fund customer are expanding their engineering team. It truly couldn't be a better time to join this business!

We’re looking for a Senior Java Software Engineer to join a small, growing team who are building something pretty special — a cloud- workload management and provisioning platform for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

This is a role where you’ll get stuck into genuinely interesting problems. You’ll be helping to build features that allow customers to schedule, deploy, and manage their cloud compute in the smartest, most efficient way possible. The work you do will have a real-world impact — helping companies in media, life sciences, aerospace, and finance save time, money, and resources.

The team is collaborative, flat-structured, and Agile (but not the kind that drowns you in meetings). Think light Kanban, short stand-ups, and minimal red tape so you can focus on actually building cool stuff. Everyone gets a say, and there’s lots of room to bring your ideas to life.

Some of the things you could be working on:

Building microservices for global compute coordination, resource scheduling, data management, analytics, billing, access control, and more.

Creating clever abstractions for different cloud providers so we can make the most of each.

Integrating with a whole range of other tools and systems.

Developing intelligent scheduling and resource management using heuristics and machine learning.Tech we use (don’t worry if you’re not fluent in all of it — you’ll have time to learn):

Java (main ) | Spring Boot | Python (for analytics) | Postgres | MongoDB | Kafka | AWS | GCP

We’d love to hear from you if you:

Have strong Java skills and can take the lead on complex changes.

Care about writing clean, maintainable code and sharing knowledge.

Enjoy working with others to solve problems and design solutions.

Are adaptable, pragmatic, and open to change.

Understand (or are keen to learn) the ins and outs of cloud applications, infrastructure, and serverless tech.Why you might love this role:

Flexible and family-friendly working — just tell us what you need.

Hybrid working with a lovely central Bristol office, or fully remote within the UK.

25 days holiday + your birthday off after your first year.

4% pension, private health insurance, death-in-service cover.

Support for conference travel and presenting.

Central Bristol office with showers and secure bike storage.If you’re looking for a role where you can have real input, work with a friendly and forward-thinking team, and keep learning along the way — this could be a great fit for you
