Job description

We are looking for a Senior Platform Developer with a strong background in Java backend development and scalable distributed systems, to build and evolve the core platform layer that powers CLEAR AI, our AI-driven applications and next-generation user experiences.
You will work at the intersection of backend engineering, AI systems, and front-end technologies, creating reliable, high-performance APIs and data services that enable smooth collaboration between our AI and UI teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and buildrobust, scalable, and secure platform services using Java (17+), Spring Boot, and microservices architecture.
• Develop high-performance APIs and data pipelines that seamlessly connect AI models, data services, and user interfaces.
• Collaborate with AI engineers to integrate model inference endpoints, manage feature stores, and optimize real-time inference flows.
• Partner with UI teams to deliver efficient REST/GraphQL APIs, ensuring smooth user-facing interactions.
• Architect systems that handle large-scale data processing, streaming, and asynchronous workloads using tools like Kafka / SQS.
• Contribute to platform-wide initiatives in observability, fault tolerance, and automation (CI/CD, Kubernetes, AWS).
• Participate in technical design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and uphold clean code and engineering best practices.
• Drive continuous improvements in performance, scalability, and developer productivity.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8-12 years of experience in backend or platform engineering.
• Expert-level skills in Java 11+, Spring Boot, and microservice-based architecture.
• Strong experience with API design and integration, including REST, or GraphQL.
• Hands-on experience in asynchronous and event-driven systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS).
• Deep understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and JVM performance tuning.
• Experience working with databases (SQL and NoSQL - e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes, AWS).
• Proven track record in cross-functional collaboration, especially with AI or UI/UX teams.

Good to Have

• Exposure to Open search.
• Experience with streaming or real-time event systems for AI-driven analytics.
• Understanding of frontend-backend communication patterns and API gateway design.
• Knowledge of Reactive programming (Reactor, WebFlux).
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
• Experience building internal developer platforms or SDKs to improve cross-team efficiency.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication, with ability to work across diverse technical teams (AI, UI, DevOps).
• Ownership mindset - proactive in identifying and solving platform challenges.
• Passion for performance, reliability, and scalable engineering solutions.
