  • Perform end-to-end AWS integration for new applications and existing workloads.
  • Lead the migration and transformation of applications from Azure Cloud to AWS Cloud, ensuring minimal downtime and data integrity.

Microservices & Containerization

  • Design and implement microservices with proper service discovery, load balancing, and monitoring.
  • Use Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration of applications.
  • Monitor, troubleshoot, and fine-tune application performance in a cloud-native environment.

Messaging & Event Streaming

  • Ensure fault tolerance and scalability of distributed event-streaming applications.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

  • Work closely with architects, product owners, business analysts, and QA teams to understand requirements and deliver robust solutions.
  • Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives.
  • Provide documentation, code reviews, and technical mentorship to junior developers.

Compliance & Best Practices

  • Follow secure coding guidelines and ensure applications meet compliance standards (e.g., PCI, SOX if applicable).
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, tests, and deployments.
  • Perform unit testing, integration testing, and support UAT activities.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in Java/J2EE development (Spring, Spring Boot, REST APIs).
  • Strong expertise in AWS Cloud designing, creating, deploying, and integrating services.
  • Proven experience in cloud migration projects, specifically Azure to AWS.
  • In-depth knowledge of Kafka (event streaming) and Kubernetes (orchestration).
