Day 0 email · Senior Java/AWS engineer – fintech delivery at DBS Bank scale
Paul,
I'm working with a Senior Java Full Stack Developer who I think is worth a conversation for your cloud engineering team at HSBC.
He's spent five years in consultancy and fintech environments, most notably delivering within DBS Bank's infrastructure, where he drove backend scalability improvements of 40–50% and cut production incidents by half. His hands-on stack covers Java, Spring Boot, ReactJS, Angular, AWS, and Docker, so the cloud-native side of what your team is building is squarely in his wheelhouse, not adjacent to it.
Given HSBC's scale and the fintech domain depth he's already operating at, I think the match is fairly direct rather than a stretch in either direction.
He's at a stage where the right opportunity would prompt a move. I haven't shared your details with him yet, and I'd send his CV over once you've had a chance to consider.
Worth a brief call?

As a senior Java/Spring Boot/React/AWS engineer who has demonstrably scaled enterprise backends at DBS Bank within a CGI consultancy environment, this candidate maps directly onto the delivery profiles Capgemini's Engineering teams in Mayfield routinely hire for, making a lateral move from a direct competitor a credible and well-grounded conversation for Rajat's team.

Rajat,
I wanted to put a specific profile in front of you rather than send something generic.
I'm currently working with a Senior Java Full Stack Developer coming out of CGI, where their recent project work included scaling enterprise backends for DBS Bank , a 40-50% improvement in backend scalability and a 50% reduction in production issues are the headline numbers.
Their stack sits across Java, Spring Boot, ReactJS, Angular, AWS, and Docker, and their background spans consultancy and fintech delivery environments , which maps fairly directly onto the kind of engineering profiles Capgemini's teams in Mayfield tend to require.
A lateral move from a direct competitor with demonstrable enterprise scale credentials felt like a conversation worth having rather than letting it pass.
If it's relevant to what your team is building right now, I'm happy to share the full CV and talk through the details.

Prashant — Head of Engineering/CTO Partner

Wipro's active UK hiring of senior Java engineers with cloud and containerisation skills maps directly onto this candidate's Spring Boot, AWS, and Docker background, and their track record of delivering 40-50% scalability gains in a fintech environment at CGI makes them a credible lateral move into Wipro's competing consultancy practice in Mayfield.
Day 0 email · Senior Java Full Stack, 40-50% scalability gains in fintech
Hi Prashant,
I recruit across the Java and cloud space in the UK and wanted to put someone in front of you directly.
I'm currently working with a Senior Java Full Stack Developer from CGI's fintech practice, five years' experience across Spring Boot, ReactJS, Angular, AWS, and Docker. Most notably, they led backend architecture changes at DBS Bank that improved scalability by 40-50% and cut production incidents by half, which is a tangible result in a demanding environment.
Given Wipro's current push to grow senior Java engineering capability in the UK, particularly around cloud-native and containerised delivery, this profile looks like a credible fit for your consultancy practice in Mayfield. The domain background aligns closely with the kind of client work you'd be staffing for.
I haven't shared your details with the candidate yet. If the profile sounds relevant, I'm happy to send the CV over for a proper look.
