You'll Get To:

• Design, develop, and maintain both front-end and back-end components of our fin-tech AI platform

What You'll Bring:

• Java Language and JVM Mastery: At least 3+ years of experience with deep expertise in the Java programming language, including a strong understanding of its ecosystems, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) internals (memory management, concurrency).
• Spring Framework and Spring Boot: 3+ years of proven ability in building scalable enterprise applications using the Spring Framework. Expertise in Spring Boot for creating stand-alone, production-grade microservices is essential.
• Cloud and DevOps Principles: A minimum of 3 years of experience with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and a strong understanding of DevOps culture. This includes hands-on involvement in designing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins or GitLab.
• Containerization and Orchestration: Over 3+ years of hands-on experience with container technologies like Docker for packaging applications and container orchestration using Kubernetes for deployment, scaling, and management.

We're Even More Excited If You Have:

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Experience with tools like Terraform or Ansible to automate infrastructure provisioning and management. This demonstrates an ability to create repeatable and consistent environments, reducing manual configuration and errors.
• Advanced Observability and Monitoring: Familiarity with modern monitoring stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing tools (like Jaeger or Zipkin). This goes beyond basic logging to provide deep insights into application performance and system health.
• Performance Tuning and JVM Internals: Advanced knowledge of Java performance tuning, including garbage collection optimization, memory profiling, and troubleshooting complex performance bottlenecks at the JVM level. This skill is crucial for ensuring high-performance and low-latency applications.
