Job description

About the Role

We are hiring a dedicated and experienced Spring Boot Engineer to lead the design, development, and maintenance of our core backend microservices and APIs. This role is central to our technology platform, focusing on building highly scalable, resilient, and cloud-native applications using the Java and Spring Boot ecosystem. You will be instrumental in maintaining the stability and performance of our services, handling high-throughput data processing, and ensuring effective integration across our system architecture.

Key Responsibilities

• Microservice Development: Design, develop, and deploy robust, high-performance, and scalable microservices using Java 17+ and Spring Boot/Spring Cloud.
• API Implementation: Create and maintain secure, efficient RESTful APIs to power both internal and external client applications.
• Data Persistence: Work extensively with relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra), optimizing queries and ensuring data integrity using technologies like Spring Data JPA/Hibernate.
• Cloud & DevOps: Deploy and manage services within a cloud-native environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Implement and manage continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Testing & Quality: Ensure code quality through unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, utilizing tools like JUnit and Mockito.
• Performance Tuning: Monitor, analyze, and optimize application performance, focusing on latency, memory usage, and concurrency under high load.
• System Design: Collaborate with architects and frontend teams to define technical requirements, system architecture, and integration patterns (e.g., Message Queues, Event-Driven Architecture).
• Security: Implement and enforce security best practices within applications, including authentication (OAuth2, JWT) and data encryption.

Required Technical Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional backend software development experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience designing and building production-ready applications using Spring Boot/Spring Cloud.
• Expert proficiency in Java and the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and modern design patterns.
• Strong experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architecture.
• Solid working knowledge of relational databases and SQL, including performance optimization and schema design.
• Experience with message brokers or queuing systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS).
• Proficient with version control systems, particularly Git.
• Experience working in an Agile development environment.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Experience with Kubernetes and Docker for containerizing and orchestrating services.
• Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
• Knowledge of reactive programming concepts (e.g., Spring WebFlux).
• Experience with caching mechanisms (e.g., Redis or Memcached).
• Certifications in Java or Cloud platforms (e.g., AWS Developer/Architect, Azure Developer).

Education

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
