Java Software Engineer into Architect

Hiring: Java Software Engineer

UK-Based Remote 12 month contract 450 per day

I'm currently supporting the search for a highly capable Java Software Engineer looking to transition into Architecture to join a major transformation programme, leading the migration from on prem services into Azure.

This isn't a junior role in experience - we're looking for someone with high-level architectural capability, strong communication skills, and the confidence to guide and oversee the work of experienced engineers.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the Senior Architect across a large scale cloud migration
• Shaping data pipelines, data flows, and system wide design
• Providing architectural oversight to senior developers
• Working across Java, Python and large data environments (design > coding)
• Bringing a strong, assertive technical voice to ensure delivery stays on track

What we're looking for:

• Strong Java engineering experience
• Exposure to cloud migration (Azure ideal)
• Knowledge of Python or big data environments is a bonus
• Confident communicator who can work across multiple technical teams
