What We re Looking For

We are hiring Senior Java Developers who are hands-on with designing and building microservices-based backend systems, and know what it takes to deploy and manage applications on the cloud.

This role requires more than just Java coding. We re looking for someone who can design fault-tolerant services, think about scale from day one, understand deployment pipelines, and debug live production issues.

- Translate business requirements into clean and efficient service designs
- Create and consume REST APIs; build systems that communicate reliably across services
- Write unit, integration, and performance tests; practice test-driven development
- Optimize services for cost, latency, and fault-tolerance on cloud platforms
- Own CI/CD pipelines and actively contribute to deployment automation
- Debug live production issues, analyze logs, and ensure system stability and uptime
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and contribute to engineering best practices
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including DevOps, Product, QA, and UI/UX

- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, etc.)
- Ability to write clean, modular, and maintainable code
