Preferred Qualifications:

Certification in Cloud Architecture (AWS/Azure)

Microservices Foundations Professional Certificate

BPM Certification (Alfresco or Camunda)

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Design: Design and architect resilient microservices using Java 17+ and Spring Boot, specifically leveraging Activiti for state management, long-running processes, and service orchestration.

Hands-on Development: Hands-on development of workflow-based solutions using Activiti BPM. Implement integrations with upstream and downstream systems using micro-services.

Platform Maintenance: Work with platform support teams and set-up and maintain environments in non-Prod and Production for Activiti BPM. Deploy Activiti Cloud building blocks (Runtime Bundle, Query Service, Audit Service) onto Kubernetes clusters using Helm charts.

Environment Configuration: Establish critical infrastructure services, including a Message Broker (e.g., RabbitMQ) for asynchronous communication and a persistent Database (e.g., PostgreSQL) for process state.

Networking & Connectivity: Configure Ingress Controllers and API Gateways to expose services externally and manage cross-service routing.

BPMN Deployment: Set up automated pipelines to deploy process definitions (.bpmn files) directly into the Activiti engine via Spring Boot-based runtime bundles.

Onsite Coordinator Management: Act as the primary technical point of contact for product owners to translate complex business requirements into technical blueprints.

BPMN 2.0 Process Design: Utilize Activiti Modeler to design and document executable business processes. This includes defining human tasks, service tasks, and complex branching logic using gateways.

Microservices Orchestration: Develop logic to coordinate multiple microservices to complete a single workflow, ensuring that distributed transactions or long-running states are managed correctly by the engine.

Cloud Connector Implementation: Build and deploy Activiti Cloud Connectors to facilitate bi-directional, scalable communication between the process engine and external microservices or legacy systems.

Service Task & Listener Development: Implement business logic via Java Delegates (POJOs or Spring Beans) or Execution/Task Listeners to hook into specific lifecycle events of a process instance.

API Integration: Develop and expose REST/SOAP APIs to allow external interfaces or other microservices to start, manage, and query process instances.

Team Mentorship & Oversight: Lead daily scrums, conduct code reviews, and mentor junior engineers on best practices like SOLID principles, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and automated testing.

Delivery Excellence: Oversee CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions) and container orchestration to ensure seamless, cloud-native deployments.

Production Stability: Monitor production health and drive rapid resolution for L2/L3 technical issues.
