The ideal candidate is a hands-on developer who enjoys contributing to system design, mentoring peers, and owning solutions from concept through production. This is a development-focused role—not infrastructure-heavy—and requires deep expertise in Java.

• Mentor junior team members and support their technical growth
• Take ownership of features from requirements through deployment
• Collaborate in Agile ceremonies and cross-functional team activities

• Ensure system performance, security, and scalability
• Participate in a rotating on-call schedule after onboarding


You will be a good fit for this role if you have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent experience
• Strong expertise in Java (critical requirement)
• Hands-on experience with Spring / Spring Boot and Tomcat
• Proven experience building backend APIs and microservices
• Practical experience working in AWS (creating and managing resources)
• Solid understanding of object-oriented programming and design principles
• Experience with Agile development practices and peer code reviews
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively
• Self-driven mindset with the ability to work independently


Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with Terraform or infrastructure-as-code tools
• Exposure to serverless architecture and AWS managed services
