Build and maintain data persistence layers using Spring Data JPA / Hibernate against Azure SQL, with careful attention to transaction semantics and audit trails
Implement caching strategies using Redis/Redisson for performance-critical paths
Write production-grade tests that verify behavior, not just coverage—unit, service, and resource-layer tests
Design and maintain Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments across multiple environments
Implement CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation using modern DevOps practices
Manage containerization with Docker, optimize images, and ensure security best practices
Investigate and resolve production incidents using Dynatrace, DQL queries, and log analysis
Document design decisions in architecture records and implementation plans; maintain alignment between code and documentation
Mentor junior engineers on domain knowledge, testing practices, and architectural patterns specific to this system
