- Architect and implement microservices-based solutions with REST/gRPC APIs and event-driven patterns (Kafka/RabbitMQ).

- Build cloud-native applications leveraging AWS/Azure/GCP services, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).

- Ensure application reliability through observability practices (logging, monitoring, tracing with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).

- Drive CI/CD automation using modern pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).

- Implement secure coding practices and integrate DevSecOps tools (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning).

- Optimize performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency of distributed systems.

- Collaborate with product managers, architects, and cross-functional teams in Agile/Scrum environments.

- Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior engineers.

- Contribute to architectural decisions and technology roadmap.

**Required Qualifications:**

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field.

- 8+ years of experience in Java backend development.

- Proven experience with microservices and distributed systems design.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

- Strong understanding of REST APIs, API gateways, and service mesh concepts.

- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis).

- Proficiency in containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

- Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar).

- Solid understanding of design patterns, data structures, and system design.

- Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

**Nice to Have:**

- Experience with reactive programming (Spring WebFlux, Project Reactor).

- Exposure to GraphQL APIs.

- Familiarity with AI/ML integrations or data pipelines.

- Experience in frontend frameworks (React/Angular) for full-stack contributions.

- Knowledge of FinOps or cloud cost optimization.

**Benefits:**

- Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.

- Opportunity to work on cloud-native, scalable, and AI-driven systems.

- Learning and certification support (cloud, Kubernetes, security).

- Flexible work model (remote/hybrid).
