About Project Tree

At Project Tree, we bridge the gap between complex business challenges and elegant technical solutions. As a premier IT service provider in Gujarat, we specialize in building scalable, future-ready applications. We are looking for a visionary Senior Java Developer to join our leadership team and architect high-performance backend systems for our global enterprise clients.

Role Overview

As a Senior Java Developer (6+ Years) at Project Tree, you are the technical anchor of the backend engineering squad. You will lead the architectural design of distributed systems, ensuring high availability, security, and sub-second latency. You are expected to be a "Problem Solver" who mentors junior developers, drives code quality standards, and bridges the gap between complex business requirements and technical execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Leadership: Lead the design and evolution of enterprise-grade microservices using Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.
• System Scalability: Architect distributed systems capable of handling high concurrency, utilizing message brokers like Kafka and caching strategies such as Redis.
• Cloud-Native Excellence: Drive the containerization strategy using Docker/Kubernetes and lead the integration of cloud-native services (AWS/Azure) into our application architecture.
• Database Design & Optimization: Architect complex schemas in PostgreSQL or MySQL, focusing on query optimization, indexing strategies, and data integrity.
• Security & Compliance: Implement robust security protocols, including OAuth2, JWT, and encrypted data-at-rest/motion, to protect sensitive global client data.
• Technical Mentorship: Lead rigorous peer code reviews, establish coding standards, and mentor junior/mid-level developers to foster a culture of technical excellence.
• DevOps Synergy: Collaborate with DevOps teams to build and maintain advanced CI/CD pipelines, ensuring seamless and automated deployment cycles.

Technical Skills & Qualifications

• Core Tech: Expert-level mastery in Core Java (17/21), Spring Boot 3, Spring Security, and Spring Data JPA.
• Microservices: Deep experience in building and managing distributed architectures, Service Mesh, and API Gateways.
• Data & Infrastructure: Expert SQL optimization skills and proven experience with Kafka, Elasticsearch, or similar distributed technologies.
• Testing: Strong commitment to Test-Driven Development (TDD) using JUnit, Mockito, and integration testing frameworks.
• Education: Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, IT, or related field.

Soft Skills & AI Integration

• AI-Augmented Leadership: A forward-thinking mindset with the ability to leverage AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate development velocity and code optimization.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Ability to communicate complex architectural decisions to non-technical stakeholders and product managers.
• Strategic Problem-Solving: A proactive approach to identifying system bottlenecks before they impact production

What We Offer

• Career Evolution: We provide a merit-based trajectory: Developer → Senior Developer → Technical Lead → Principal Architect. Your journey is defined by transitioning from execution to Strategic Architectural Governance.
• Technical Autonomy: You have a seat at the table to influence technology choices, framework adoption, and long-term technical roadmaps.
• Project Tree Life: We celebrate our wins! Enjoy a vibrant culture with frequent team lunches, dinners, annual trips, and our signature Cricket tournaments.
• The Advantage: Modern infrastructure at our Iconic Shyamal (Ahmedabad) or Surat offices, premium hardware, and competitive salary benchmarks.
