Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Technical Lead with strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices architecture, and Cloud technologies to lead the design, development, and delivery of scalable, secure, and high-performance banking applications.

The ideal candidate will have a strong engineering background, proven experience leading development teams, and a solid understanding of banking business processes. The candidate must be capable of translating complex business requirements into robust technical solutions while maintaining high standards of code quality, security, performance, and engineering excellence.

Candidates with experience in core banking, digital banking, payments, lending, banking integrations, or financial transaction processing will be preferred.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Leadership & Solution Design

• Lead end-to-end design, development, testing, and deployment of enterprise-grade banking applications.
• Define technical solutions, application architecture, service boundaries, and integration patterns.
• Drive microservices design principles, reusable components, coding standards, and engineering best practices.
• Participate in architecture reviews and collaborate with solution architects, enterprise architects, and business stakeholders.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, performance bottlenecks, and opportunities for modernization.

2. Java & Spring Boot Development

• Provide hands-on technical leadership in Core Java, Spring Boot, and Spring-based application development.
• Design and develop RESTful APIs, backend services, and distributed applications.
• Apply object-oriented design principles, SOLID principles, design patterns, and clean coding practices.
• Implement secure, maintainable, testable, and highly available application components.
• Conduct code reviews, troubleshoot complex defects, and guide developers in resolving technical challenges.

3. Microservices & Distributed Systems

• Design and implement scalable, loosely coupled microservices architectures.
• Apply service discovery, API gateway, centralized configuration, circuit breakers, retries, timeouts, and fault-tolerance patterns.
• Design synchronous and asynchronous integrations using REST APIs and messaging platforms.
• Implement event-driven architecture using Apache Kafka or equivalent messaging technologies.
• Address distributed transactions, idempotency, data consistency, concurrency, and resiliency requirements.

4. Cloud & DevOps Engineering

• Design, deploy, and operate cloud-native applications on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Implement containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes or OpenShift.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to establish CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and release management practices.
• Implement application monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and production observability.
• Contribute to cloud migration, application modernization, scalability, availability, and cost optimization.

5. Banking Domain & Application Integration

• Understand banking business processes and translate functional requirements into technical solutions.
• Work on banking applications involving payments, fund transfers, customer onboarding, account services, lending, transaction processing, or regulatory integrations.
• Ensure secure processing of financial transactions, data integrity, auditability, and appropriate access controls.
• Integrate with core banking systems, payment platforms, third-party services, and enterprise applications.
• Follow applicable security, risk, compliance, and data-protection requirements.

6. Team Management & Delivery Excellence

• Lead, mentor, and guide a team of Java developers and software engineers.
• Review technical designs, estimates, sprint plans, and delivery commitments.
• Collaborate with product owners, business analysts, architects, QA, security, and DevOps teams.
• Ensure adherence to development standards, automated testing, code quality, and release readiness.
• Take ownership of complex production issues, root-cause analysis, and preventive actions.
• Promote continuous improvement, technical knowledge sharing, and engineering capability development.
