Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Java Engineer who can independently design, develop, deploy, and support cloud-native
applications using modern Java and Spring Boot on AWS. The role involves end-to-end ownership across architecture,
API design, implementation, deployment, and production operations, with solid focus on security, resilience, testing,
observability, and CI/CD.

readiness.
Design integrations with API gateways, identity providers, databases, internal platforms, downstream services, and
external partners.
Implement API security including authentication/authorization, OAuth 2.0, JWT validation, encryption, secrets handling,
and input validation.
Design maintainable API contracts covering versioning, backward compatibility, idempotency, validation, error
handling, and traffic protection.
Build fault-tolerant services using timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, rate limiting, graceful degradation,
health checks, and failover.
Improve software quality through automated unit, integration, component, contract, and performance testing.




Strengthen observability through structured logging, metrics, tracing, correlation IDs, dashboards, and alerts; support
root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
Contribute to CI/CD automation, quality controls, vulnerability remediation, and production-readiness activities.
Analyze performance, capacity, and cloud-resource usage and implement measurable improvements.
Participate in design/code reviews, requirements refinement, estimation, and solution planning.
Identify technical debt and recommend improvements across architecture, security, resilience, code quality, and
