Job Description

We're Looking for a Sr Java Platform Development Engineer

Position type: Contract to Hire

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Platform Development team building and evolving the On-Demand Environments platform — an internal self-service deployment orchestration system used by hundreds of application teams. You will own backend services, command-line tooling, and AI-powered Claude Skills that automate the full deployment lifecycle across Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Kubernetes, and serverless targets.

Job Responsibilities

• Design & Deliver ODE Platform Features: Own end-to-end delivery of ODE command-line tooling, backend services (Java / Spring Boot), and deployment orchestration integrations. Design for correctness, observability, and resilience across distributed cloud deployments.
• Secure, Production-Quality Code: Write secure, high-quality production code adhering to application security standards (injection prevention, authentication, authorization). Implement deployment prerequisite checks, credential vault integrations, and access management workflows.
• Architecture & Design Artifacts: Produce and maintain high-level design documents, architecture decision records (ADRs), and deployment architecture diagrams. Ensure design constraints around scalability, availability, and zero-downtime deployments are reflected in code and validated through automated checks.
• Data & Observability: Build and maintain application performance monitoring (APM) dashboards and structured logging pipelines. Proactively identify deployment failure patterns from telemetry and translate insights into platform improvements.
• Developer Experience & Community: Contribute to engineering communities of practice around ODE best practices, Claude Skills development, and deployment automation. Share lessons learned from real-world delivery back into shared knowledge bases and team documentation.
• Inclusive Team Culture: Champion diversity, inclusion, and psychological safety within the team. Actively mentor junior engineers and participate in cross-team platform initiatives.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities & Skills

• Hands-on Java development with Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Data, Spring Security; experience building RESTful microservices deployed to containerised environments.
• Experience with microservices architecture and RESTful API design.
• Proficiency with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Database experience across CockroachDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines; automated build, test, and artifact promotion workflows.
• Agile SDLC: hands-on delivery in Scrum or Kanban teams, sprint planning, backlog grooming, definition of done, and iterative release practices.
• APM and observability: Dynatrace, structured logging (SLF4J / Log4j), Splunk.
• Version control workflows: Git, Bitbucket, fork-and-PR model, conventional commits, peer code review.
• Security-aware development: OWASP top 10, secure coding standards, vulnerability remediation, and change management workflows.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities & Skills

• Proficiency in Go for CLI tooling — command parsing, OpenAPI-generated clients, cross-platform binary distribution.
• Familiarity with deployment orchestration platforms and automated deployment pipeline models.
• Experience with blue-green and canary deployment strategies for zero-downtime releases.
• Familiarity with metrics and monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, Geneos.
• Understanding of distributed tracing: Jaeger, Zipkin. Knowledge of messaging systems: Kafka, IBM MQ.
• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow ITSM workflows for access requests and change management.
• Contribution to open-source or internal engineering communities, tech talks, or published architecture decision records (ADRs).
