Lead Java Developer

Job Title: Senior Java Lead – Retail (POS Exposure)

Experience: 12+ Years

Role Summary

We are looking for a Senior Java Lead with strong hands-on backend development and technical ownership experience.

This role requires deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, and distributed systems.

Retail domain experience is Mandatory and POS exposure is important but secondary—this is a development-lead role, not a support-heavy position.

Design, develop, and own backend services using Java, Spring Boot, Microservices

Lead hands-on coding, debugging, and code reviews

Troubleshoot complex production issues with deep technical analysis

Make and own technical and architectural decisions

Implement resilient systems (circuit breakers, retries, fault tolerance)

Work with Kafka or similar messaging systems

Support JDK and framework upgrades

Build and maintain REST APIs and integrations

Provide L3 production support with focus on permanent fixes, not just triage

Collaborate in an Agile environment with onshore/offshore teams

Use monitoring tools like Splunk and Grafana for diagnostics

Must-Have Skills

Primary (Java – Mandatory)

12+ years of hands-on Java backend development

Strong expertise in Spring, Spring Boot, Microservices

Proven debugging and root-cause analysis skills

Experience with Kafka / event-driven systems

Strong understanding of system design and architecture

Secondary (Retail / POS – Preferred)

Experience supporting Retail systems with POS exposure

POS platforms: XStore, ORPOS, JMC (nice to have)
