What You'll Do

• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain high-scale, cloud-native backend applications and RESTful APIs using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture.

• Lead a small team of software engineers to achieve sprint goals, manage technical deliverables, enforce code quality standards, and conduct peer code reviews while reporting into a Senior Tech Lead.

• Apply modern engineering practices including microservices design, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), serverless computing, and CI/CD automation to build resilient services.

• Triage, debug, and resolve complex production or system issues across distributed microservices, optimizing performance, data access, and operational quality.

• Actively participate in Sprint Planning, Backlog Refinement, Architecture Reviews, and Retrospectives within a globally distributed engineering team.

What Experience You Need

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience writing, debugging, and maintaining enterprise applications using Java (JDK 17+) and Spring Boot.

• 5+ years of experience designing, building, and deploying production-grade RESTful microservices architectures.

• 3+ years of experience developing cloud-native solutions on public cloud platforms (GCP preferred, AWS or Azure) using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE/EKS).

• 3+ years of experience deploying software via automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) using modern build tools (Maven/Gradle) and Git version control.

• 1+ years of experience acting as a technical lead, module lead, or mentor for a software engineering team.

What Could Set You Apart

• Exposure to GenAI integration concepts, prompt engineering, or embedding AI capabilities into enterprise microservices.

• Active Cloud Certification (e.g., Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer / Professional Cloud Developer, AWS Certified Developer).

• Exposure to API management platforms like Google Cloud Apigee for designing, securing, and monitoring APIs.

• Practical exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) concepts and tools such as Terraform or Helm Charts.

• Hands-on experience with Relational Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) and performance tuning.

• Familiarity with Event-Driven Architecture and messaging platforms (Kafka, Google Pub/Sub)
