Contract
About the Role:
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Java Developer to join our platform team. In this role, you will be instrumental in designing and building the robust backend services and APIs that power our data-intensive applications. The ideal candidate is a strong Java engineer with experience developing systems that handle significant data processing, storage, and retrieval efficiently.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design & Development: Design, develop, test, and deploy high-performance, scalable backend services and APIs using Java and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot).
- Data-Intensive Application Development: Build and optimize services that perform complex data processing, including efficient data ingestion, transformation, and exposure via RESTful APIs.
- Database & Storage Integration: Develop and optimize data access layers, working with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and potentially NoSQL solutions (e.g., Cassandra, MongoDB) to ensure performance and reliability.
- Performance Tuning: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in Java applications and related database queries.
- System Architecture: Contribute to the design of a scalable and maintainable system architecture for data-heavy services.
- Code Quality & Best Practices: Write clean, well-tested, and maintainable code. Participate actively in code reviews and advocate for best practices.
- Collaboration: Work collaboratively with product managers, data engineers, and other software teams to deliver integrated solutions.
Required Qualifications (Must-Haves):

- Strong experience with the Spring framework, particularly Spring Boot.
- Proven experience building applications that interact with large datasets and require efficient data processing.
- Expert-level proficiency in SQL and experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
- Experience with messaging systems like Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ for building asynchronous, decoupled services.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure) and containerization (Docker).
- Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
- Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves):
- Experience with batch or stream processing tools like Apache Spark or Apache Flink.
- Experience with distributed data platforms like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift.
- Knowledge of workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow).
- Experience with schema serialization formats like Avro or Protobuf.
- Familiarity with building and maintaining ETL processes.
- Experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration.
