Roles & Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-level backend systems and microservices using Java (Spring Boot).

  • Develop RESTful APIs and ensure secure and efficient communication between distributed systems.
  • Optimize system performance, reliability, and scalability.
  • Integrate with relational and NoSQL databases and ensure data integrity and optimal access patterns.
  • Collaborate with frontend, DevOps, QA, and product teams to deliver integrated and high-quality solutions.
  • Conduct code reviews and provide technical mentorship to junior and mid-level developers.
  • Participate in architectural planning, technical strategy, and design discussions.
  • Ensure adherence to coding standards, best practices, and security guidelines.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in production and staging environments.

Required Skills

  • 10+ years of backend development experience, with deep expertise in Java (Java 8 or later).
  • Strong hands-on experience with Spring Framework (Spring Boot, Spring Data, Spring Security, etc.).
  • Solid understanding of microservices architecture, API design, and integration patterns.
  • Experience with SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL stores (e.g., MongoDB, Redis).
  • Proficient in RESTful API design and implementation.
  • Hands-on experience with unit testing (JUnit, Mockito) and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience working with Docker, and familiarity with container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.
  • Good understanding of application security principles, including authentication (OAuth2, JWT), authorization, and encryption.
  • Familiarity with message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and asynchronous processing.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Familiarity with GraphQL or gRPC.
  • Prior experience in leading development teams or acting as a technical lead.
  • Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
