- Develop secure, well-documented RESTful APIs and event-driven data flows using Kafka/RabbitMQ
- Containerize applications using Docker and manage deployments on cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform)
- Write clean, maintainable code backed by comprehensive unit, integration, and evaluation tests
Requirements: - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related technical field
- 4+ years of professional backend development experience utilizing Java (JDK 17+), Spring Boot, Hibernate/JPA, and microservices architecture

- Familiarity with Java-specific AI ecosystems such as Spring AI or LangChain4j
- Understanding of vector databases, embeddings, semantic search, and context window optimization
- Strong proficiency with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) and familiarity with NoSQL or vector storage systems
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines deployed on major cloud infrastructure
- Mastery of object-oriented design patterns, asynchronous programming, and API security (OAuth2/JWT)
Desired skills: - Prior experience with financial systems, client onboarding platforms, or enterprise master/reference data solutions
- Experience in Agile product delivery, roadmap planning, and backlog prioritization
- Knowledge of cloud-native architectures and modern DevOps practices
