Job DescriptionJoin a high-performing, cross-functional engineering squad focused on building secure, scalable, and high‑availability backend services. In this role, you’ll combine hands-on coding with architectural influence, testing excellence, DevOps practices, and mentorship. If you enjoy solving complex problems, designing clean APIs, and working in a modern cloud‑native ecosystem—this role is for you.
In this role, you will design, build, and maintain secure, high‑performance RESTful APIs using Spring Boot and WebFlux, ensuring reliability and scalability across complex systems. You’ll integrate with external platforms using modern architectural patterns, including event‑driven workflows, messaging queues, and asynchronous communication.
You will take ownership of testing across all layers—unit, integration, and performance—using tools such as JUnit, Mockito, and WireMock to ensure quality and resilience. As a key contributor, you’ll lead the full lifecycle of backend services, from design and development through CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, and ongoing support.
Alongside hands‑on engineering, you will participate in architectural discussions, influence best practices, and conduct code reviews to uphold engineering standards. Working closely within Agile squads, you’ll help deliver reliable platform capabilities while mentoring and supporting other engineers through pairing and knowledge sharing.
Qualifications- Prior experience in a similar role managing enterprise level project.
- Significant years of backend engineering experience with a deep mastery of Java and Spring Boot
- Strong expertise in REST API design, microservices, and backend system integration
- Demonstrated ability in building secure, maintainable, production-grade APIs
- Advanced testing skills using JUnit, Mockito, WireMock, and related frameworks
- Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and modern DevOps practices
- Hands-on experience with AWS (SQS, S3, DynamoDB)
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, scalability, reliability, and performance engineering
- Strong knowledge of secure coding practices and application security standards
Preferred Skills
- Experience with API Gateways such as Apigee
- Familiarity with containerization, event-driven systems, and reactive programming
