Duration: 12+ Months
Job Overview: W2 Only We are seeking a hands-on Senior Software Developer to join our team and contribute to building scalable, cloud-native applications. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in designing, developing, and optimizing services and UIs using Java 21+, Python 3.X, Angular 21, and AWS 2.0, with a strong focus on RDS (PostgreSQL/Aurora). This role involves close collaboration with product, architecture, DevOps, and QA teams in an agile environment. Experience with GenAI (Bedrock, Claude Sonnet) and graph technologies (Amazon Neptune/Graph APIs) is a strong plus.
Responsibilities: - Design and develop microservices and APIs in Java (preferably with AWS SDK v2) and supporting services in Python.
- Develop performant, accessible front-end features using Angular and modern TypeScript patterns.
- Design and optimize cloud-native workloads on AWS (ECS/EKS/Lambda, API Gateway, SQS/SNS, IAM, CloudWatch).
- Model, tune, and operate relational workloads on Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL/Aurora); implement robust migration strategies and performance monitoring.
- Champion automated testing (unit, integration, contract, end-to-end); familiarity with Karate framework is a plus.
- Apply secure coding practices, secrets management, least privilege IAM, and encryption in transit/at rest.
- Optimize latency, throughput, and cost; implement observability (metrics/tracing/logging) and resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries, backoff).
- Prototype solutions using Amazon Bedrock (e.g., Claude Sonnet), evaluate prompt/response pipelines, and model relationships with Amazon Neptune or Graph APIs.
- Collaborate with product owners and stakeholders; break down epics, estimate work, review code, and mentor engineers.
Qualifications: - 10+ years of professional software development experience.
- Expertise in Java (Java 11+ preferred) and Python for backend/services and tooling.
- Proficiency with AWS services and tooling (AWS SDK v2 preferred), CI/CD (CodeBuild/CodePipeline/GitHub Actions/Jenkins), and IaC (CloudFormation/Terraform).
- Strong experience with RDS (PostgreSQL/Aurora) including schema design, query optimization, indexing, replication, and operational best practices.
- Solid front-end experience with Angular (RxJS, state management, Angular CLI, unit/e2e testing).
- Strong grasp of RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, and microservices patterns.
- Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks and practices (JUnit/Testcontainers/pytest; API testing).
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, ECS/EKS).
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and code review skills.
Nice-to-Have: - Experience with GenAI on Amazon Bedrock (model selection, prompt engineering, guardrails, evaluation) and Claude Sonnet.
- Graph experience with Amazon Neptune and Graph APIs (Gremlin/SPARQL).
- Prior experience in mortgage/secondary market domains; Fannie Mae project background is a plus.
- Karate test automation framework for API and E2E testing.
- GitLab experience (CI/CD pipelines, runners, branching strategies).
- Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, particularly with AWS resources.
- Knowledge of security frameworks (OAuth2/OIDC, JWT), and data governance/regulatory compliance.
- Observability stack: OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar.
Education: - Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
