  • Bachelor or Master degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in enterprise architecture including large-scale Java Spring Boot microservices.
  • Proven expertise in containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Deep understanding of API design, RESTful services, and secure integrations.
  • Extensive experience in database design, optimization, and management (SQL or NoSQL).
  • Experience with ETL tools and data integration frameworks.
  • Strong knowledge of security compliance and data privacy in financial applications.
  • Experience with monitoring, logging, and performance optimization in distributed systems.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced agile environment.
  • Certifications in cloud architecture (preferred).
