Job Details

Hi

Duration: Anticipated to be 12+ months with potential of converting to FTE

Location: Hybrid in Mt Laurel NJ or Wilmington DE

Role: Senior Java API Kafka Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a Java Engineer to join a high-impact team focused on building event-driven systems and microservices. This is a hands-on engineering role-not a lead position-ideal for professionals with strong technical skills and a passion for building scalable solutions. While this is initially a contract role, there is potential for full-time conversion based on performance and business requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop Java-based microservices and APIs using Spring Boot.
  • Implement big file processing and optimize performance for large-scale data operations.
  • Develop multithreaded applications for high-performance systems.
  • Build and manage Kafka event streaming solutions (producer and consumer).
  • Work with Camunda orchestration for workflow automation (nice-to-have).
  • Collaborate on SQL database design and optimization.
  • Deploy and manage applications in Azure Cloud (other cloud experience acceptable).
  • Contribute to event-driven architecture initiatives, including client events in Kafka.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable solutions.

Required Skills to be considered

  • 4+ years of professional experience in software engineering with Java in an enterprise environment
  • Strong proficiency in Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture.
  • Experience with Kafka and event streaming (building, not just consuming).
  • Professional enterprise experience with multithreading and big file processing concepts.
  • Hands-on experience with SQL/DB technologies.
  • Professional experience working with Azure Cloud or other cloud platforms like AWS or Google Cloud Platform
  • Banking industry experience
  • Experience with Camunda orchestration
  • Exposure to rewards systems in credit card / banking environments or big data/event-driven systems is advantageous.
