As a senior member of the team, you will also mentor junior engineers, participate in architectural discussions, and help define best practices

How you'll make an impact

• Implement event-driven architectures, leveraging technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar for real-time data streaming and communication between services.
• Collaborate with product teams, architects, and other engineers to design and implement features that are scalable, reliable, and maintainable.
• Write clean, efficient, and reusable code adhering to best practices for security, performance, and maintainability.

• Ensure smooth integration with external systems and services through APIs, messaging queues, and other protocols.
• Take ownership of services through the entire lifecycle, from design to deployment, including monitoring, debugging, and scaling in production.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts, identify performance bottlenecks, and drive resolutions for complex technical problems.
• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and trends in microservices, event-driven systems, and cloud platforms.
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to junior engineers and peer reviews to ensure quality and adherence to standards.

Experience you'll bring

• 5+ years of experience in Java development, with a deep understanding of core Java (Java 8+ preferred).
• Strong experience in designing and building high-performance microservices using Spring Boot or a similar framework.
• Expertise in event-driven architectures with technologies like Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ for distributed messaging and streaming.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, and familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools (Kubernetes).
• Proficient in RESTful API design and development, including knowledge of API security best practices.
• Quality driven mindset employing test driven development and automation testing frameworks
• Solid understanding of database technologies, both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB).
• Knowledge of asynchronous processing patterns such as message queues, task scheduling, and distributed transactions.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation tools.
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in an agile, fast-paced environment.
