Java Engineer

• Salary to £45k + Company Options Scheme

• Hybrid working between your home, their offices (London Vauxhall) & client sites.

NB: Please only apply if you are a British National prepared to achieve SC clearance. You must have at least 5 years residency in the UK with no more than a 3 month break outside the UK.

This company is a Workflow & AI Orchestration Specialist. They're on a mission to modernise how public sector organisations manage casework, derive insight from data and deliver citizen services. They’re growing fast and looking for bright, dynamic people to help build their business.

Role

They’re looking for a Java Engineer to join their implementation team.

You’ll work across Camunda BPMN/DMN process automation, API integration, and microservice orchestration — helping their public-sector clients build secure, scalable, and resilient digital services.

You’ll collaborate with solution architects, business analysts, and designers to translate workflows into elegant, maintainable code. You’ll play a key part in defining technical standards, optimising runtime performance, and mentoring less- experienced engineers in workflow-centric delivery.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys solving complex process problems through clean code, automation, and modern engineering practices.

The role involves visiting client sites; the company will cover travel expenses. Frequency is uncertain but candidates should be comfortable with that being 2-3 days per week. Client sites could be anywhere but will most likely be in & around London.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and deploy Camunda-based process and decision automation solutions

Implement and integrate Java-based microservices, APIs, and connectors within orchestration flows

Translate BPMN and DMN models into executable workflows and reusable components

Collaborate closely with analysts and service designers to refine and iterate business processes

Develop and maintain automated test suites, CI/CD pipelines, and containerised deployments

Optimise Camunda engine performance and monitor workflow metrics for production environments

Participate in code reviews, peer testing, and technical design discussions

Contribute to their internal best-practice frameworks and automation accelerators

Essential

Eligible (have resided in the UK for the past 5 years) and prepared to go through UK SC Security Clearance

Experience in Java software engineering and object-oriented design

Spring (Boot) experience

Experience with REST APIs, and microservice architectures

Knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes for containerisation and orchestration

Proficiency in Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks

Understanding of event-driven design and message brokers (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ)

Good knowledge of security, authentication, and integration patterns for enterprise systems

Experience working in agile teams within digital transformation or automation programmes

A willingness to learn BPMN and Camunda tooling

Some exposure to process automation or microservice orchestration

Desirable

Experience with Camunda 8 (Zeebe) clusters and Operate/Tasklist components

Experience implementing solutions using Camunda 7 or 8 (BPMN/DMN)

Familiarity with Camunda connectors, external task workers, and scripting extensions

Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm)

Experience integrating process automation with case-management or service-orchestration platforms

Understanding of agentic AI capabilities and how they can complement workflow automation

Experience mentoring developers or contributing to open-source Camunda extensions

Already holding UK security clearance (SC, DV, eDV)

Other Stuff

NB: Please only apply if you are a British National prepared to achieve SC clearance. You must have at least 5 years residency in the UK with no more than a 3 month break outside the UK.

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.
