Responsibilities: - Design, develop, test, deploy, and support backend application capabilities, including Java-based microservices, REST APIs, event-driven distributed services, and AMQ-based messaging integrations.
- Apply strong hands-on engineering skills to build scalable, secure, resilient, observable, and maintainable backend services using modern software design patterns and cloud-native practices.
- Collaborate closely with Product Owners, architects, business stakeholders, and cross-functional technology teams to clarify requirements, align on technical approaches, manage dependencies, and deliver business outcomes.
- Build and enhance backend services using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices architecture, MongoDB, AMQ messaging, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
- Create proofs of concept, demos, and prototypes to evaluate emerging technologies and validate new ideas.
- Follow and strengthen software engineering standards, including clean code, scalable design, code reviews, automated testing, deployment discipline, application security, observability, and operational readiness.
- Ensure backend solutions are delivered with appropriate compliance, auditability, security, resiliency, accessibility, data quality, performance, and production support considerations.
- Support production operations by participating in incident triage, root-cause analysis, application monitoring, logging, alerting, recovery practices, and continuous improvement of backend service reliability.
- Contribute as a senior individual developer by independently solving complex technical problems, improving existing codebases, reducing technical debt, and helping establish reusable backend engineering patterns.
- Promote a culture of ownership, collaboration, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence by sharing knowledge, documenting solutions, and supporting effective delivery within the team.
Qualifications: - 8+ years of related software engineering experience with strong hands-on backend development expertise in enterprise application environments.
- Demonstrated experience delivering complex backend technology initiatives across microservices, APIs, AMQ-based messaging, integration services, data platforms, cloud-native deployments, and platform modernization.
- Required hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices architecture, MongoDB, AMQ or similar messaging platforms, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing frameworks, and SQL or relational databases.
- Very seasoned experience in AWS and event-driven distributed systems is required, and Kubernetes experience is a must.
- Strong background in backend software engineering, API design, data modeling, MongoDB schema design, event-driven architecture, asynchronous messaging, and enterprise integration patterns.
- Experience applying software engineering standards, including clean architecture, scalable design, secure coding practices, automated testing, peer reviews, deployment discipline, compliance standards, and production readiness.
- Proven ability to evaluate technical options, contribute to architecture and design discussions, and independently implement solutions.
- Experience supporting production applications, including incident triage, debugging, root-cause analysis, resiliency improvements, logging, monitoring, alerting, and continuous improvement of application and platform reliability.
- Strong individual contributor mindset with the ability to take ownership of complex deliverables, collaborate effectively, and mentor peers informally.
