Job Description

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of microservices using Spring Boot and other Spring technologies (Spring Data, Spring Cloud, Spring Security, etc.)
• Apply Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles to define bounded contexts, ubiquitous language, and domain models that align with business capabilities
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Architects, DevOps, QA, Product Owners) to ensure scalable, resilient, and maintainable solutions
• Hands-On Development
• Write clean, efficient, and testable Java code following best practices and coding standards
• Implement RESTful APIs (Level 2 or Level 3) with robust data contracts, versioning strategies, and error-handling conventions
• Build and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end test suites, ensuring high code coverage and reliability
• Performance & Reliability
• Analyze system performance and optimize application code, database queries, and resource utilization to meet SLAs
• Utilize caching, messaging, and other architectural patterns (e.g., Circuit Breaker, Retry) for fault tolerance and high availability
• Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)
• Collaborate with DevOps engineers to containerize services using Docker and manage deployments with Kubernetes or similar orchestration tools
• Collaboration & Leadership
• Participate in agile ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives), providing technical leadership and insights to the team
• Proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and technical debt, proposing innovative solutions to maintain project momentum
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing
• Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation of code, architecture, design decisions, and domain models
• Share knowledge and promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the engineering team

Requirements

• Integrate code into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps) for automated builds, tests, and deployments
• 8 10+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on Java (Java 8+)
• 5+ years working with Spring Boot in microservices architectures
• Proven experience in Domain-Driven Design (DDD), including the ability to define bounded contexts and domain models effectively
• Strong knowledge of RESTful API development, JSON/XML payloads, and API versioning best practices
• Experience with Spring Data JPA, SQL/NoSQL databases, and best practices for data persistence and caching
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and processes, as well as test-driven development (TDD) and behavior-driven development (BDD) methods
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, able to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to handle complex tasks and troubleshoot effectively
• A leadership mindset capable of mentoring team members, driving best practices, and influencing architectural decisions
• Experience with event-driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Kafka)
• Advanced knowledge of observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) and performance tuning at scale
• Familiarity with security best practices (OAuth2, JWT, encryption, etc.)
