 Hands-on experience working with cloud services and deploying applications on
Google Cloud Platform (or equivalent cloud experience with the ability to ramp quickly).
 Experience designing and implementing REST APIs, including common
authentication/authorization approaches and integration patterns.
 Experience integrating AI capabilities into applications (for example: calling AI
APIs/services for summarization, extraction, classification, or decision support)
and familiarity with basic evaluation/monitoring concepts.
 Practical knowledge of secure engineering fundamentals (least privilege access,
secrets management, encryption, and audit logging).
 Proficiency with Git-based workflows and working knowledge of CI/CD concepts
and release practices.

 Strong troubleshooting skills, including defect triage, performance tuning, and
supporting applications with observability tools.
 Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering, QA, DevOps,
product, and security stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications
 Experience working in Agile teams and applying Software Development Life
Cycle (SDLC) practices.
 Familiarity with change/configuration management tools (for example:
VersionOne, ServiceNow) and/or Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
practices.
 Experience with container and/or serverless concepts (for example: Docker,
Kubernetes fundamentals, or managed/serverless deployments).

incident analysis and corrective actions.
Key Responsibilities
 Design, develop, and maintain Java backend services using modern engineering
practices, established patterns, and reusable components.
 Build and enhance cloud-based solutions on Google Cloud Platform that support data ingestion,
processing, storage, retrieval, and distribution; contribute to solution design for
reliability and performance.
 Develop and maintain Representational State Transfer (REST) application
programming interfaces (APIs), including versioning, documentation, backward
compatibility, and integration with internal and external systems.
 Implement AI-enabled features by integrating approved AI services or models
into applications; contribute to basic evaluation and monitoring approaches to
ensure quality and responsible use.
 Independently troubleshoot and resolve application issues across environments,
perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventative fixes to reduce repeat
incidents.
 Apply secure coding practices and ensure solutions meet security and
compliance requirements (for example: authentication/authorization, encryption
in transit and at rest, audit logging, and policy-aligned data handling).
 Contribute to continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and
deployment automation in partnership with DevOps to improve release quality
and repeatability.

 Implement and maintain observability practices including structured logging,
metrics, dashboards, alerts, and operational documentation/runbooks.
 Collaborate with cross-functional partners to plan and deliver releases, support
testing, and resolve production issues as needed.
 Participate in and contribute to architecture/design discussions and code
reviews; help promote team standards and mentor junior developers through
guidance and example.
