Java Senior Developer/Team Lead

Senior Java Developer (Java 17/21 | Spring Boot | Cloud-Native | Microservices)

Summary:

We are looking for a Senior Java Developer with 8+ years of experience to build and scale cloud-native, high-performance applications. This role requires deep expertise in modern Java (JDK 17+), Spring Boot 3+, microservices architecture, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP). You will play a key role in designing resilient systems, driving engineering best practices, and mentoring team members.

**Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable, secure, and high-performance backend systems using Java (JDK 17/21) and Spring Boot.
• Architect and implement microservices-based solutions with REST/gRPC APIs and event-driven patterns (Kafka/RabbitMQ).
• Build cloud-native applications leveraging AWS/Azure/GCP services, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Ensure application reliability through observability practices (logging, monitoring, tracing with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
• Drive CI/CD automation using modern pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Implement secure coding practices and integrate DevSecOps tools (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning).
• Optimize performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency of distributed systems.
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, and cross-functional teams in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior engineers.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and technology roadmap.

**Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in Java backend development.
• Strong expertise in Java (JDK 17 or higher), Spring Boot, and Spring ecosystem (Spring Cloud, WebFlux is a plus).
• Proven experience with microservices and distributed systems design.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, API gateways, and service mesh concepts.
• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis).
• Proficiency in containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar).
• Solid understanding of design patterns, data structures, and system design.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

**Nice to Have:

• Experience with reactive programming (Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor).
• Exposure to GraphQL APIs.
• Familiarity with AI/ML integrations or data pipelines.
• Experience in frontend frameworks (React/Angular) for full-stack contributions.
• Knowledge of FinOps or cloud cost optimization.

**Benefits:

• Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.
• Opportunity to work on cloud-native, scalable, and AI-driven systems.
• Learning and certification support (cloud, Kubernetes, security).
• Flexible work model (remote/hybrid).
• Collaborative engineering culture with growth opportunities.
