• Build observability into applications and use monitoring and logging tools such as Elasticsearch, Prometheus, and Grafana to understand application health and performance.
• Troubleshoot application and production issues, participate in root‑cause analysis, and help implement solutions that improve reliability and prevent recurring problems.
• Use source control, build, and delivery tools such as Bitbucket, Maven, Gradle, and CI/CD pipelines as part of the software development lifecycle.
• Collaborate with engineers, product partners, and other cross‑functional teams to deliver solutions supporting order management workflows.
• Participate in code reviews, technical documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement of team engineering practices.
• Evaluate new tools and technologies and contribute ideas that simplify development, testing, deployment, and operational processes.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 2+ years of software development experience with hands‑on experience developing backend applications using Java or a comparable object‑oriented programming language.
• Experience developing applications using Spring Boot, microservices, APIs, or similar backend technologies.
• Experience with one or more of the following: event‑driven or messaging technologies, relational or NoSQL databases, automated testing, CI/CD, or DevOps practices.
• Experience working within an Agile software development lifecycle and using modern source‑control practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience developing applications with Java and Spring Boot.
• Experience building or supporting microservices and event‑driven systems using Kafka or a comparable messaging platform.
• Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Cassandra, or similar technologies.
• Experience with automated testing tools and practices, including technologies such as JUnit, Mockito, or Cucumber.
• Experience supporting applications in production, including troubleshooting, monitoring, incident response, or root‑cause analysis using tools such as Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar platforms.
• Experience with build, source‑control, and delivery technologies such as Bitbucket, Maven, Gradle, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience working with order management, retail, e‑commerce, fulfillment, inventory, payments, or other transaction‑oriented systems is a plus.
