• Enhance integration between legacy platforms and cloud-based systems through APIs, messaging pipelines, and data-processing components.
• Lead Azure cloud migration efforts, including redesigning and re-architecting on-premise applications into cloud-native services using Azure App Services, Functions, SQL, PostgreSQL, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform and Bicep.
• Design and build Java microservices, distributed systems, and REST/SOAP APIs, while managing persistence layers across DB2, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps), automate deployments, and incorporate code quality and security checks.
• Integrate enterprise systems with Azure OpenAI and contribute to POCs and AI-driven enhancements.
• Collaborate with stakeholders, participate in design and code reviews, mentor team members, and maintain accurate technical documentation.
• Provide L3 application support, conduct root-cause analysis, and implement long-term corrective measures to improve system stability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in a relevant field, or equivalent experience.
• More than 10 years of experience in enterprise software development.
• Experience in banking, financial services, or cloud modernization initiatives.
• Ability to work across both legacy (COBOL/CICS/DB2) and modern cloud-native Java environments.
• Interest in continuous improvement, system optimization, and scalable enterprise solutions.
• Experience in Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, and backend development, including integrating and modernizing legacy COBOL/CICS/DB2 systems into microservices.
• Experience with Azure Cloud Services, Terraform, Bicep, Docker, Kubernetes, and Rancher, including CI/CD automation using GitLab, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps.
• Experience with AI and integration technologies such as Azure OpenAI, AI Search, SpringAI, Langchain4j, and FastAPI.
