The Role
Build and own complex Java backend services using Spring Boot, WebFlux, REST, gRPC, messaging, databases, Redis, and search technologies. Deploy and operate services on Kubernetes with Helm, implement automated and integration testing, troubleshoot production issues, and improve reliability and performance. The role requires strong distributed-systems, security, observability, CI/CD, and API engineering skills, along with code review, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration.

About Us
At Netwrix, our mission is to revolutionize data security by placing identity at the core - providing unparalleled visibility and control. Engineered and supported by over 900 highly talented, motivated employees and hundreds of trusted partners in nearly every geography, Netwrix solutions are relied upon daily by security professionals across more than 13,500 organizations in over 100 countries around the world.
Over the past two decades, Netwrix has expanded its market presence through innovation, organic growth, and strategic acquisitions, and are proud to be backed by renowned private equity firms, TA Associates and Centerbridge Partners. Netwrix maintains a global presence, fostering a remote-first work environment while encouraging and facilitating frequent face-to-face interaction with colleagues, customers, and partners.
What you'll do:
- Build maintainable backend services using modern Java, Spring Boot, and appropriate Spring modules, following the platform’s defined architecture and standards.
- Take ownership of the most complex features and toughest implementation problems, from implementation and automated testing through deployment and production support.
- Read and understand existing code across services, including .NET and other languages, to understand features, data flows, and integration points and build on them effectively. Learn new languages as needed.
- Develop reactive, non-blocking services with Spring WebFlux and Project Reactor, using practical judgment to decide when reactive programming is the right choice.
- Implement well-designed REST APIs and, where appropriate, gRPC services, with clear contracts, validation, versioning, error handling, and backward compatibility.
- Build event-driven integrations using Kafka and/or RabbitMQ, applying sound practices for message delivery, idempotency, retries, ordering, and dead-letter handling.
- Model and access data in relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL databases, apply caching effectively with Redis, and use Elasticsearch/OpenSearch for indexing and search workloads.
- Own the process of packaging and deploying services to Kubernetes: write Helm charts, manage Kubernetes configuration (ConfigMaps, Secrets (HashiCorp Vault), health probes, resource requests/limits, HPA), and carry out safe rolling deployments.
- Set high standards for code quality: write thorough automated tests, lead by example in design and code reviews, and mentor engineers in implementation, testing, and debugging.
- Troubleshoot production issues and continually improve service reliability and performance.
- Work with product, architecture, security, DevOps/SRE, and other engineering teams throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
Skills and Experience
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with expert hands-on coding skills.
- Strong Java development skills: object-oriented design, collections, concurrency, asynchronous processing, and JVM fundamentals.
- Production experience with Spring Boot and practical knowledge of Spring WebFlux/Project Reactor and reactive programming principles.
- Proven ability to get up to speed quickly on unfamiliar codebases: trace code paths, understand existing features and conventions, and make changes that fit the established design.
- Ability to read and understand project code in .NET and other languages, with a willingness to learn and code in any language as needed.
- Strong API engineering skills: REST/HTTP semantics, API contracts, validation, error handling, pagination, versioning, and OpenAPI documentation.
- Distributed-systems fundamentals: timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, rate limiting, idempotency, caching, and graceful degradation.
- Experience with Kafka or RabbitMQ and event-driven/asynchronous communication patterns.
- Solid relational database skills with PostgreSQL or MySQL: schema design, SQL, transactions and isolation, indexing, query optimization, and schema migrations (e.g., Flyway/Liquibase).
- Working knowledge of NoSQL data modeling, querying, indexing, consistency, and performance. Experience with Elasticsearch/OpenSearch is a plus.
- Experience using Redis (or a comparable distributed cache) for caching, session state, or rate limiting, including cache invalidation and TTL strategies.
- Strong automated-testing practices with JUnit 5, Mockito, AssertJ, Spring Boot Test, and Testcontainers. Integration and contract testing are expected.
- Application security fundamentals with Spring Security: TLS, JWT, OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect, authentication vs. authorization, secrets management, and secure API development.
- Hands-on Kubernetes deployment experience, including Helm: writing and maintaining charts, values management across environments, Kubernetes configuration (ConfigMaps, Secrets, readiness/liveness/startup probes, resource requests and limits), horizontal scaling, and rollout/rollback strategies.
- Practical scripting skills in shell and/or Python for automation, diagnostics, build/deployment tasks, and developer tooling.
- Experience with Git, Maven or Gradle, CI/CD pipelines, and production observability through structured logs, metrics, and traces (OpenTelemetry).
- Hands-on experience with production observability tools for monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting live services. This must include at least one tool in each category: metrics/dashboards (Prometheus, Grafana), log aggregation (Splunk, ELK/OpenSearch Dashboards, Loki), and APM (New Relic, Datadog, Dynatrace, or Azure Application Insights).
- Ability to communicate trade-offs clearly, review code constructively, and take ownership of services in production.
Nice to have
- Microsoft Azure: AKS, Azure Service Bus / Event Hubs, Blob Storage, Key Vault, Entra ID, Azure Monitor / Application Insights
- OLAP / analytics stores: BigQuery, Snowflake, ClickHouse, or Azure Synapse (analytical query patterns, partitioning/clustering, batch vs. streaming warehouse ingestion)
- API gateways: Envoy, Kong, Spring Cloud Gateway, or cloud-managed gateways
- Resilience libraries such as Resilience4j or comparable tools (circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads, time limiters)
- Performance testing with Gatling or a comparable load/performance testing tool
- Go (strong bonus, not required)
- Service meshes, GitOps (Argo CD/Flux), infrastructure as code
- Domain-driven design, microservice patterns, schema evolution, consumer-driven contract testing, software supply-chain security
