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 robust focus on security, resilience, testing,

observability, and CI/CD.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain Java/Spring Boot applications, microservices, and secure REST APIs.
- Own technical solutions end-to-end, from architecture and API design through implementation, deployment, and production support.
- Build and modernize AWS cloud-native applications with focus on scalability, resilience, maintainability, and production 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 developer productivity.
- Create technical documentation covering architecture decisions, APIs, integrations, operations, and troubleshooting.
- Collaborate with engineering, architecture, product, security, and platform teams while providing technical guidance to other engineers.
