Job Summary:
This Java developer role is responsible for designing and building core backend applications using the Java programming language, with a strong focus on the Spring Framework and Spring Boot. This role supports a fast-paced, high-impact environment focused on enterprise content and document management solutions.

You will contribute to the development of mission-critical applications that specialize in system integration and content services. More specifically, you are responsible for building enterprise application solutions that enable many applications-often built on varying platforms or technologies-to exchange data reliably and efficiently, with a primary focus on applications that deliver content, such as documents, images, videos, and other file formats to internal and external users.

Responsibilities:

• Provide expert-level guidance in Java backend and frontend development. Lead technical discussions, design sessions, and architectural decisions to ensure robustness, scalability, and performance of our software solutions.
• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance and scalable backend services using Java and related technologies. Implement RESTful APIs, microservices, and integration with databases and third-party systems, and legacy SOAP-based services.
• Architect and develop cloud-native applications using containerization and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes. Leverage cloud services (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) for scalability, reliability, and resource optimization.

• Collaborate with DevOps teams to tune CI/CD pipelines, automate deployment processes, and ensure smooth software releases.
• Enforce coding standards and best practices. Conduct thorough code reviews, provide constructive feedback, and mentor junior developers to improve code quality, consistency, maintainability and adherence to industry best practices.
• Identify and address performance bottlenecks across the application stack. Implement caching mechanisms, optimize database queries, and apply best practices for minimizing latency.
• Apply security best practices, including data encryption, authentication, and authorization, while ensuring compliance with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Create comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, API specifications, and deployment guides.

Education and Certifications:

• Qualified candidates have earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or an equivalent degree.

Experience/Skills Required:

• 5+ years of backend development experience using the Java programming language
• Strong expertise in Spring Framework and Spring Boot, including dependency injection, RESTful services, and microservices architecture
• Hands-on experience with Docker containerization, including building, deploying, and managing containerized applications in cloud or on-prem environments.
• Proficient in building and integrating RESTful and SOAP services, with a solid understanding of API design and integration
• Proficient in writing, reading and optimizing queries for databases, such as SQL queries for relational databases
• Familiarity with Observability Platforms & Analytics (e.g., Splunk, Dynatrace)
• Experience with unit and integration testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Mockito)
• Basic understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS3, JavaScript, JSP, jQuery, Angular)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and programming logic to diverse audiences.
• Strong time management and organizational abilities
• Team-oriented with a willingness to learn and grow

Preferred:

• Enterprise Application Integration, such as designing and implementing scalable integration solutions across enterprise systems.
• Spring Framework & Spring Boot, such as Spring MVC & Spring Web Services
• Database integration with DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server using JDBC
• Application servers: JBoss, Tomcat or similar Java EE servers.
• Structured text formats such as XML & JSON for data exchange/serialization and server communication
• Test-Driven Development (TDD) with unit and integration testing
• Servlet development
• Front-end integration: JSTL, Expression Language (EL), jQuery UI, custom tags and plugins
• Operating systems: Linux and Windows
• Agile tools: JIRA (Sprint based workflow & Kanban board)
