  • Ensure data integrity, reliability, and security throughout the data lifecycle by implementing appropriate monitoring, logging, and governance mechanisms.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to performance, scalability and availability.

Technologies that we work with:

  • Language: Java, Spring, Spring Boot
  • Storage/Cache: Oracle, PostgreSQL, Redis, S3
  • Messaging: Kafka

You ll need to have:

  • 4+ years of professional experience in software engineering with a focus on building data intensive applications
  • Strong proficiency in the latest Java and Spring framework.
  • Solid understanding of database systems and SQL
  • Building microservices in Java, Spring Framework and its related technologies
  • Prior contributions to system design and architecture and scaling fault-tolerant, distributed systems.
  • A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience.


We would love to see:

  • Prior experience of refactoring and replacing existing applications from both back end to front end.
