Area(s) of responsibility

We are seeking a Java developer focused on building secure, scalable, and resilient

RESTful APIs using

Spring Boot

. You’ll work closely with product managers, architects, and DevOps to deliver backend services powering web and mobile applications. The ideal candidate brings strong Java fundamentals, Spring ecosystem experience, and hands-on API design/implementation skills and with using GitHub CoPilot experience.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, build, and maintain RESTful APIs using Java and Spring Boot (Web, Data, Security, Actuator).

- Model and integrate with databases (SQL/NoSQL), write efficient queries, and manage schema migrations

- Implement API security: OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, role-based access, rate limiting, input validation.

- Write clean, testable code with unit, integration, and contract tests

- Optimize performance and reliability (caching, connection pooling, async/non-blocking I/O, pagination).

- Observability: structured logging (SLF4J/Logback), metrics/tracing (Micrometer, OpenTelemetry), and health checks (Actuator).

- CI/CD and cloud deployment (Docker, basic Kubernetes concepts, pipelines; Azure exposure a must).

- Collaborate in Agile teams: participate in grooming, estimation, code reviews, and documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger).





- Own services end‑to‑end: from design and development to deployment and production support (on-call rotation optional).

Required Qualifications

- Robust knowledge of Java 8+ (preferably 11/17 or later) and Spring Boot.

- knowledge and experience of using GitHub Copilot

- Experience building RESTful APIs and integrating with external/internal services.

- Solid understanding of data structures, concurrency, and error handling.

- Hands-on with RDBMS (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL) and ORMs (JPA/Hibernate).

- Proficient with Git, branching strategies, and Maven/Gradle.

- Familiarity with API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger) and Postman/Rest Assured.

Senior / Lead

- API architecture & design (resource modeling, versioning, idempotency, resilience patterns).

- Security best practices (OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, mTLS, secrets management).

- Scalability & resilience patterns (Circuit Breaker/Retry/Backoff with Resilience4j; async/reactive programming).

- Experience with microservices, message brokers (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and event-driven patterns.

- Cloud-native deployments (Docker/K8s) and IaC (Terraform/Helm is a plus).

Mentoring developers and leading design/code reviews.
