Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Lead the technical strategy, design discussions, and system architecture. Provide hands-on guidance and regular code reviews to internal/ external teams of developers.

Cloud Infrastructure (AWS): Understand the basics to support the AWS team in upgrades and testing.
API & Integration Design: Design clean, secure, and documented APIs and manage integration patterns with third-party tools or messaging systems.
Data Management: Optimize relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL stores for performance, ensuring strict data protection and schema modeling practices.
DevOps Culture: Champion CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and application deployments, minimizing time-to-market while safeguarding production stability.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product Managers, UX/UI Designers, and security stakeholders to translate high-level business goals into lean technical solutions.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Expert Java Knowledge: Proven experience with Java 11, including a deep understanding of Garbage Collection, Streams, and Concurrency.
Dropwizard Mastery: Strong experience with Dropwizard 1.3.x, including configuration, Managed Objects, and Health Checks.
React Legacy Proficiency: Deep familiarity with React 15.4, specifically Class Components, Lifecycle methods (componentWillReceiveProps, etc.), and Flux or Redux architectures.
Servlet Container Expertise: Experience configuring and troubleshooting Jetty 11.
Tools & Pipelines: Proficiency with Git, Maven/Gradle, and automated CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline)
Problem Solving: A "detective" mindset—able to debug complex issues within legacy frameworks and identify performance bottlenecks.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with JDBI or Hibernate within a Dropwizard environment.
Knowledge of CSS preprocessors (SASS/LESS) compatible with older Webpack builds.
Experience in migrating legacy React applications to functional components and Hooks (v16.8+).
Understanding Microservices architecture and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
Prior experience working within strict Agile/Scrum delivery models.
This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company’s success, reputation and sustainable growth.
