Key Responsibilities Core Competencies

- Microservices Core Backend Architecture
- Design, build, and deploy production-ready RESTful APIs using Java 8/17+ and Spring Boot .
- Implement scalable microservice interactions utilizing synchronous REST/Feign Clients and asynchronous messaging via Apache Kafka .
- Develop clean, maintainable backend code adhering to SOLID principles, design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Builder, Strategy), and Spring AOP for cross-cutting concerns (logging, exception handling) .

Technical Study Focus Areas

- Java Core Modern Features: Master Streams API, Functional Interfaces, Lambda Expressions, Optional handling, and internal mechanics of Collections ( HashMap , ConcurrentHashMap ) .
- Multithreading: Core concurrency controls, thread safety, synchronized vs. ReentrantLock , volatile variables, ExecutorService management, and race condition prevention .
- Spring Framework: Deep dive into Spring Bean lifecycles, dependency injection mechanisms, auto-configuration ( @Component , @Service , @Repository ),



and microservices patterns .

Technical Study Focus Areas:

- Database Engineering Performance Tuning
- Write and maintain complex SQL queries (joins, aggregations, subqueries) across relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) .
- Identify latency bottlenecks and optimize query execution using indexing strategies and database execution analysis ( EXPLAIN plans) .
- Manage data persistence through Spring Data JPA and Hibernate ORM while controlling transaction boundaries .
- SQL Optimization: Index creation techniques, composite indexes, query execution tree interpretation ( EXPLAIN ), and data structure indexing .

ORM Performance: Transaction management via @Transactional , Hibernate caching levels, and resolving common performance pitfalls like the N+1 query problem .

- Caching NoSQL: Fundamental data operations with NoSQL databases (MongoDB) and in-memory caching strategies utilizing Redis .
- 3. Security, Domain Protocols Transaction Processing
- Secure enterprise APIs and microservices using Spring Security, JWT (JSON Web Tokens), and OAuth 2.0 protocols .

Apply application security mechanisms, including AES/RSA encryption, OTP validations, and secure credential storage . S upport financial transaction workflows, API integrations (UPI, FASTag, BBPS, or IMPS/NEFT/RTGS payouts), or domain messaging standards such as ISO 8583 .

Technical Study Focus Areas





- Security Architecture: Implementation of JWT filter chains, role-based access control (RBAC), token validation, and OAuth2 authorization server flows .
- Data Protection: Symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic practices (AES vs. RSA) for sensitive data payloads .

Domain Integration: Message parsing, validation rules, transactional consistency, and handling high-concurrency event-driven processing with Kafka . Provide L1/L2 production support, root-cause analysis (RCA), and continuous debugging using application logs .

- Deployment, Monitoring Production Troubleshooting
- Package applications using Docker containers and integrate with contemporary CI/CD deployment pipelines (Tekton, Jenkins) .

- Monitor health status, performance metrics, and service availability using Grafana, Kibana, or Postman testing suites .
- Technical Study Focus Areas:
- Containerization: Crafting Dockerfiles, environment variables management, container network configurations, and deployment strategies .

Observability: Analyzing application logs via Kibana/Grafana dashboards, stack trace analysis, and system health diagnosis .

- Testing: Unit testing and test-driven development (TDD) principles using JUnit and Mockito frameworks .

Desired Qualifications

- Education: Bachelors Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent CDAC certification) .
- Primary Skillset: Core Java, Java 8/17+, Spring Boot, Microservices, REST APIs, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL), Spring Security, Docker, Git .

Good to Have: Hands-on exposure to Angular/React front-end frameworks, Redis caching, AWS cloud infrastructure (EC2, EKS), or Spring Batch pipelines . This job is provided by Shine.com
