Are you a seasoned Java expert who thrives on solving complex problems and building great software? At Heywood, we are building the future of pension technology, and we need your expertise to help lead the way.

 

About you

 

  • Experienced Java developer
  • Advocate for Agile development and XP practices such as TDD
  • Strong technical and interpersonal skills
  • Eager to participate, bring ideas and share your thoughts with your team and the wider business
  • Proactive and inquisitive, willing to challenge the norm to help improve the way we work

 

The role

 

As a key member of one of our Scrum teams you will define, build, and deploy new products and features that meet the needs of our expanding customer base. Heywood is a company that is right for the next stage in your career. Why? As a long-established and successful business, we can provide stability, support, and growth opportunities, all while being the right size for you to make a significant impact and be recognised and valued for your contributions. You will have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects and see the impact of your work in a dynamic and encouraging environment.

 

We are located in Altrincham, in a workspace that promotes collaboration and facilitates hybrid working with great tech, AV equipment, and flexible spaces.

 

First and foremost, you will be a strong and experienced Java developer, but we are not just looking for great coders. We are looking for problem solvers who are keen to share their ideas, challenge our approach and continuously improve the way we work. As a proactive and inquisitive developer, you will be passionate about collaborating with and contributing to the professional growth of your team. You will also be comfortable working with other specialists such as UX Designers, product experts, Test Analysts and, of course, our customers.

 

You will be working on a modern JDK (we currently use Amazon Corretto 17) and with a variety of approaches such as pair programming, automated testing, and continuous integration - all backed by DevOps technologies such as Chef, Vagrant, Kubernetes, Terraform, Packer and Docker. Our culture encourages continuous improvement, so we will be looking to you to investigate new tech, frameworks, and processes, to help drive us forward.

 

Must haves

 

Experience in any of the following areas is essential and would make you an even stronger candidate for some of our teams:

 

  • Designing, developing, and operating serverless applications on AWS
  • Building and supporting scalable systems with services such as AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway
  • Front-end development using React and TypeScript
  • Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and Terragrunt
  • Monitoring, maintaining, and optimising serverless solutions to ensure performance and reliability
