Job description

We're looking for a hands-on Java Developer with 4–5 years of experience who combines solid engineering fundamentals with sharp problem-solving instincts. You'll design and build scalable backend systems, write clean and maintainable code, and work fluidly with modern AI-assisted development tools to ship quality software fast.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust, high-performance backend applications in Java.
• Contribute to architecture decisions — service design, data modeling, API contracts, and scalability trade-offs.
• Design, build, and operate microservices, including inter-service communication, resilience, and deployment.
• Instrument services for observability — logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting — to ensure reliability in production.
• Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code and participate in code reviews.
• Leverage AI-assisted / "vibe coding" tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude, Cursor) to prototype and deliver features efficiently, while maintaining full ownership and understanding of the output.
• Debug complex issues across the stack and reason through ambiguous problems independently.
• Collaborate with product, QA, and DevOps to deliver end-to-end features.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 4–5 years of professional Java development experience.
• Strong grasp of core Java, OOP, collections, concurrency, and the JVM.
• Solid experience with Spring / Spring Boot and building RESTful APIs.
• Architecture: Proven ability to design scalable, maintainable systems; understanding of microservices, design patterns, and system design principles.
• Microservices: Hands-on experience building and running microservices — service decomposition, REST/gRPC communication, API gateways, and resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries).
• Observability: Practical experience with logging, metrics, and distributed tracing using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or similar.
• Coding: Clean-code discipline, strong testing habits (JUnit/Mockito), and Git-based workflows.
• Vibe coding: Comfortable and productive with AI-assisted coding tools; able to prompt, review, and refine AI-generated code rather than blindly accept it.
• Analytical ability (high IQ): Excellent logical reasoning and problem-solving skills; able to break down complex problems and learn new concepts quickly.
• Experience with SQL and at least one relational database.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure) and CI/CD pipelines.

Nice to Have

• Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and caching (Redis).
• Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to event-driven or distributed systems at scale.

What We Offer

• Ownership of meaningful, high-impact work.

We like to think that talent grows at Ginesys and stays at Ginesys. To ensure this, we provide our employees with the best working environment, the latest technology and continuous support.
