You will mentor peers, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and help shape the product architecture roadmap while collaborating with senior engineers, QA, and product stakeholders. The role offers exposure to AWS, microservices, and modern testing practices.

Qualifications

• Experience building highly distributed microservice architecture using Java 17/21, Spring Boot 3.x, and Gradle.
• Strong OOP skills, advocate for code quality, Design Patterns, and SOLID principles.
• Experience with complex projects in the public cloud (AWS, ideally).
• Developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or other tool.
• Creating and optimizing complex SQL queries, stored procedures, and functions.
• Strong initiative to improve processes, tools, methodologies, and product quality.

• Experience with developing and working with thoughtfully designed HTTP APIs, such as REST or GraphQL.
• Proficiently use inline code completion tools in your daily IDE workflow.
• Use conversational AI assistants for pair programming, design discussion, debugging, and documentation.
• Critically evaluate all AI‑generated output before committing, verifying correctness, security, and alignment with team standards.
• Identify routine or well‑scoped tasks as candidates for agentic automation, and propose improvements to your tools/workflows to support this.
• Build feedback loops: document what worked, what failed, and why, to improve future agent performance and team understanding.
• Collaborate with your team to design and instrument AI‑powered developer tooling; measure its impact on velocity and quality.
• Nice to haves: SPA development using Angular/TypeScript, experience with Serverless Framework, trunk‑based development, automated testing frameworks such as Cypress, RestAssured, JMeter, knowledge of accounting and auditing concepts, experience with a large enterprise monorepo codebase (NX preferred), experience with container technologies such as Docker, ideally with container orchestration such as Kubernetes.

Responsibilities

• Create prototypes and software design proposals that provide short‑term business value while aligning with future‑state product and architecture vision.
• Research and break down large initiatives into parallelizable chunks of work that provide incremental business value toward the end feature goal.
• Champion proposals into production through all phases of the Agile SDLC from design to implementation.
• Contribute to improving the core product build, CI/CD pipelines, and overall SDLC.
• Work with senior developers and architects to define and oversee the execution of the product architecture roadmap.
• Troubleshoot and eliminate persistent root causes for production issues that your product faces.
• Facilitate design discussions within and outside of the squad.
• Represent the team in technical discussions with Tech Leads, Operations, Product/UX, and external stakeholders.
• Provide mentorship to the other developers on your team through design reviews, pair programming, and code reviews.
