You’ll work closely with product managers, architects, QA, and DevOps teams to design, build, test, deploy, and evolve high-quality software systems used at scale.
Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable backend services using Java, Spring Boot, and Hibernate.
Own features from requirements to production, including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and post-release support.
Write clean, maintainable, and testable code aligned with modern engineering standards.
Translate product requirements into well-structured APIs and services.
Contribute to system design discussions, including service boundaries, data models, and integration patterns.
Apply principles of Clean Architecture / Hexagonal Architecture to ensure loosely coupled, testable systems.
Continuously improve existing architecture to support scalability, performance, and resilience.
Work with relational databases (e.g., MySQL or equivalent) and non-relational databases (e.g., MongoDB or equivalent).
Design efficient schemas, queries, and indexing strategies.
Ensure data consistency, performance optimization, and reliability.
Write unit tests using JUnit with high coverage and meaningful assertions.
Implement API integration tests using Spring Integration Tests or equivalent frameworks.
Promote shift-left testing and quality-first development practices.
Participate in code reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices and coding standards.
Build and deploy containerized applications using Docker.
Work with Kubernetes for orchestration, scaling, and deployment strategies.
Develop and operate applications on any major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP, or equivalent).
Collaborate with DevOps teams to improve CI/CD pipelines, observability, and reliability.
