Full Stack Engineer (Java) – Financial Services
Location: Manchester (Hybrid)
Salary: Competitive + excellent benefits

We’re working with a global financial services organisation looking to hire a Full Stack Engineer to join a high-impact engineering team delivering scalable, enterprise-grade solutions.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who is strong in Java and enjoys working across the full stack, contributing to architecture, delivery, and modern engineering practices.

The role

You’ll play a key role in delivering end-to-end software solutions, working closely with product and business stakeholders to build secure, scalable, and resilient systems.

While this is a full stack role, there is a strong emphasis on Java (Spring) and backend engineering, alongside exposure to modern frontend, cloud and DevOps environments.

Key responsibilities

  • Design, build and deliver scalable microservices using Java (Spring)
  • Own delivery across the full software lifecycle (design, build, test, deploy, support)
  • Work closely with stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions
  • Contribute to architecture decisions, system integrations and modernisation initiatives
  • Implement best practices across code quality, testing and DevOps
  • Support cloud adoption and platform improvements
  • Develop and integrate AI-driven capabilities into applications and workflows
  • Ensure high standards across security, performance, and reliability

What we’re looking for

  • Strong Java development experience (Spring) in complex environments
  • Experience building microservices and API-driven architectures
  • Good understanding of DevOps practices (CI/CD, automation, testing)
  • Experience with tools such as GitLab, Docker, Splunk, AppDynamics
  • Exposure to frontend technologies (JavaScript / TypeScript, Angular)
  • Experience working in agile environments (Scrum / Kanban)
  • Interest or experience in AI tools and integrating AI into applications
  • Financial services experience is beneficial

Tech environment

  • Backend: Java (Spring, Maven), Groovy
  • Frontend: JavaScript / TypeScript (Angular)
  • Architecture: Microservices
  • Testing: JUnit, Spock
  • DevOps & tooling: GitLab, Docker, CI/CD pipelines
  • Cloud & monitoring: Private cloud, Splunk, AppDynamics

Why apply

  • Join a globally recognised financial services organisation
  • Work on large-scale, high-impact systems
  • Strong focus on modern engineering practices and innovation
  • Opportunity to work with AI-driven technologies
  • Excellent career progression within a structured environment

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
