Job Description: Java Backend Engineer
Employment Type: Contract (3Months)
Experience Level: Senior (10+ years)

About the Role

We are looking for a strong Java Backend Engineer to build scalable, serverless, event-driven backend workflows and content-processing pipelines. This role requires solid Java fundamentals, cloud experience (Azure preferred but any cloud acceptable), and the ability to convert workflow specifications into clean, maintainable, production-ready components.

You will work on document-centric pipelines, metadata extraction, rule/decision logic, asynchronous orchestration, and integration with message queues and storage systems. We rely on GitHub as our DevOps platform, and you will use GitHub Actions for CI/CD and deployment workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop backend modules in Java (11/17+) for workflow orchestration and content-processing pipelines.
  • Implement JSON parsing, metadata transformation, decision logic, and multi-step processing flows.
  • Build and maintain event-driven systems using message queues, topics, and asynchronous triggers.
  • Integrate with cloud services including serverless compute, message queues, and object/file storage.
  • Develop clean, modular, testable components based on workflow specifications.
  • Implement robust error handling, retries, idempotency, and detailed logging for traceability.
  • Collaborate with architects and cross-functional teams to ensure scalable end-to-end workflow design.
  • Use GitHub Actions for automated build, testing, and deployment pipelines.
  • Manage offshore team.

Required Qualifications

  • 6 10+ years of hands-on Java backend development experience.
  • Strong understanding of object-oriented design, modularization, and clean abstractions.
  • Experience building backend services in serverless or microservice architectures.
  • Practical experience with event-driven systems and asynchronous workflows.
  • Strong experience with JSON, content transformation, and structured output generation (e.g., ZIP/JSON).
  • Experience with Azure cloud OR at least one major cloud platform (AWS/Google Cloud Platform).
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Message queues or pub/sub systems
    • Cloud storage abstractions
    • REST/JSON/XML API integrations
  • DevOps experience with GitHub only:
    • GitHub Actions (CI/CD)
    • GitHub Packages / Container Registry
    • GitHub branching workflows and PR practices

Nice to Have

  • Experience with rule/decision engines.
  • Background in high-volume document or metadata-driven processing.
  • Experience in workflow-based or multi-step transactional systems.

What We Value

  • Clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
  • Ownership mindset and attention to detail.
  • Ability to translate complex workflows into simple, modular designs.
  • Curiosity, problem-solving, and a strong engineering mindset.
