We're looking for a Senior Java Developer to design, build, and scale backend services for a high throughput, low latency platform with strict reliability and auditability requirements. You'll own end to end delivery—from design to production—collaborating closely with Product, QA, and DevOps.
Responsibilities:
• Design and implement microservices and event-driven components in Java (preferably Java 17+).
• Model and optimize PostgreSQL schemas, queries, and transactions for performance and integrity.
• Hands on AWS experience: deploying and operating production services (at least 3 of ECS/EKS/Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, SQS/SNS/MSK/Kinesis, CloudWatch, IAM).
• Solid API design (REST/gRPC), versioning, pagination, and backward compatibility.
• Production grade observability (logs, metrics, tracing; OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, or similar).
• CI/CD with GitHub and GitHub Actions (branching strategies, code reviews, trunk based or GitFlow).
• Practical use of GitHub Copilot (or similar AI coding assistants) to boost productivity while maintaining code quality.
• Experience building fault tolerant distributed systems (circuit breakers, bulkheads, rate limiting; resilience patterns).
• Proficiency with containerization (Docker) and infrastructure as code (Terraform/CloudFormation—at least one).
• Strong understanding of secure coding practices and common vulns (OWASP Top 10).
• Excellent communication; ability to turn ambiguous requirements into actionable technical plans.
