• Experience building and maintaining microservices-based architectures;
• Proficiency with Gradle for build and dependency management;
• Strong background in RESTful API design and API lifecycle best practices;
• Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL;

• Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally;

NICE TO HAVES

• Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or other messaging systems;
• Knowledge of event-driven architectures;
• Experience with GraphQL and/or API Gateways;
• Exposure to hybrid API ecosystems (REST + GraphQL + async);
• Hands-on experience integrating LLM/AI APIs;
• Previous work on AI-enhanced or AI-assisted product features.
