• Build and maintain microservice architectures, ensuring seamless integration of rule-based services.
• Containerize and deploy Drools applications using Docker and manage them in AWS cloud environments.
• Configure, tune, and maintain application servers such as WildFly (JBoss AS) and Tomcat.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Business Analysts and Product Managers, to translate complex business logic into executable rules.
• Implement and maintain automated test suites to validate rule execution and ensure system stability.
• Monitor, optimize, and continuously improve rule performance and scalability.

• Strong understanding of rule-based systems, decision tables, and rule optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and test automation frameworks (JUnit, TestNG, Cucumber).

Nice to Have

• Experience with Red Hat Decision Manager (RHDM) or other enterprise BRMS tools.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and infrastructure as code.
• Exposure to performance tuning, rule versioning, and governance in production environments.
• Familiarity with API integration and REST-based decision services.
