As a Senior Java Software Developer, you will join the engineering team to design, build, and maintain scalable software systems with a focus on backend services and full-stack capabilities. You will be responsible for architecting microservices, developing RESTful APIs, creating testing architecture plans, and writing clean code while mentoring junior engineers. The role involves optimizing applications for performance and reliability while supporting CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure. You will utilize technologies including Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate with native queries, and relational databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL. Your work will involve tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, Git, GitLab, Jira, and Confluence. Additionally, you may engage with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform to solve complex problems in high-performance system design and software architecture.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop scalable backend services, APIs, and microservices.
  • Create and maintain full-scale testing architecture plans and system designs.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code following industry best practices.
  • Review code and mentor junior engineers to ensure high-quality output.
  • Optimize applications for performance, scalability, and reliability.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure for application deployment.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and implement long-term technical solutions.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 4-8 years of professional software development experience (or 2-6 years with a Master's Degree).
  • Strong backend development experience using Java, Spring Boot, and Hibernate.
  • Experience building RESTful APIs, microservices architectures, and working with relational databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines (Gitlab).
  • Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and system scalability.
  • Experience with automated testing including end-to-end, regression, and integration testing.
  • Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation) (preferred).
