Qualifications

• Core Java Expertise: In-depth knowledge of Java SE and Java EE concepts, with proven experience in building enterprise-grade applications.
• Spring Boot Proficiency: Strong experience with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring Security, and related frameworks for building microservices.
• Monolith to Microservices Migration: Hands-on experience in refactoring and breaking down large monolithic applications into independent, scalable microservices.
• Databases & Persistence: Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Cassandra, along with ORM frameworks like Hibernate.
• APIs & Messaging: Experience designing REST APIs, working with JSON/XML, and integrating message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.) for asynchronous communication.
• Cloud & DevOps Awareness: Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, and deployment on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) is a plus.
• Security & Scalability: Knowledge of microservices security practices, identity management, and scalability challenges in distributed systems.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and the capability to handle client interactions effectively.

Location & Experience

This position is based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We are looking for highly skilled professionals with strong expertise in Core Java, Spring Boot, and monolith-to-microservices migration.

• Candidates with prior exposure to the Saudi Arabian IT landscape, business ecosystem, or industry practices will be given preference, as such familiarity offers a valuable advantage in adapting to the local work culture and project requirements.
• Applicants must have a minimum of 5 years of experience in Java development, with demonstrated hands-on experience in Spring Boot and microservices migration projects.
