• Mentor and support junior and mid-level developers

• Maintain technical documentation and promote knowledge sharing

Required Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with Watcher (e.g., Elasticsearch Watcher or similar tools)

• Strong understanding of RESTful API development and security best practices

• Experience with Spring Boot or Micronaut frameworks

• Familiarity with data governance practices (e.g., PII/PHI classification, audit logs)

• Experience with distributed systems, Kafka or RabbitMQ, and the ELK stack

Nice to Have:

• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)

• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)

• Background in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, pharma)
