• Core Stack (Must Have):
• Java ecosystem: Strong grasp of Java 8+, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, and Hibernate.
• Frontend: Proficiency in React.js, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript and hands‑on with Redux or Context API for state management.
• Databases: Solid SQL knowledge (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle).
• Distributed Systems & Architecture:
• Messaging: Experience with or strong understanding of Message Brokers (specifically RabbitMQ or Kafka).
• Caching: Familiarity with caching implementation using Redis or similar in‑memory data stores.
• DevOps & Tools:
• Containerization: Experience creating and managing Docker images.
• CI/CD: Familiarity with build pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI).
• Version Control: Proficiency with Git.
• A problem solver who understands not just how to write code, but how applications perform at scale.
• A team player who communicates technical ideas clearly.

Candidates must possess a Bachelor’s Degree in one of the following fields:

• Information Systems
• Computer Science
• Software Engineering
• Or a closely related technology major.
