Position Purpose

Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable Java-based backend services and middle business layer components within enterprise full-stack applications. Own backend architecture decisions, API design, data access patterns, and integration with upstream and downstream systems. Work competently across the existing frontend layer using Angular/TypeScript/React. Bring the depth of an experienced backend engineer with the breadth to contribute across the full stack. Leverage AI-assisted development tools as a standard part of day-to-day engineering practice.

Direct Responsibilities

• Develop scalable full-stack solutions using Java, Spring Boot, and modern frontend frameworks (React/Angular).
• Design and optimize high-performance APIs with security, caching, and fault tolerance.
• Develop robust backend services with efficient database interactions.
• Build responsive UI with seamless backend integration.
• Automate CI/CD pipelines for rapid, reliable software delivery.
• Lead cloud-native deployments with containerization, auto-scaling, and cost optimization.
• Enforce Quality-first engineering: Unit, integration, and ensure high code quality with SonarQube.
• Mentor junior developers, conduct code reviews, and drive technical excellence across the team.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.

Contributing Responsibilities

• Contribute to technical design discussions and architecture decisions, particularly around API design, data layer, and system integration
• Participate in code reviews and enforce clean code and quality gate standards
• Support knowledge transfer and capability building within the India Solutions team
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (frontend, QA, infrastructure) on integration and delivery
• Contribute to improving DevSecOps maturity and SDLC practices within the team

Technical & Behavioral Competencies

• Autonomy & Ownership: Ability to work autonomously and take end-to-end ownership of backend components
• Industry Expertise: Experience in large-scale regulated enterprise environments (banking/financial services preferred)
• Collaboration & Communication: Strong collaborative and communication skills to work in a global team

Specific Qualifications

Experience Level: 5+ years

• 4+ years with Java backend development at enterprise scale
• 3+ years with Spring Boot/Spring MVC in production environments
• Demonstrated good experience across the listed Technical skills.
• Familiarity with frontend integration using Angular/TypeScript/React
• Experience with legacy system refactoring to target architecture
• Active use of AI coding assistants in daily workflow

Domain Experience

• Banking, financial services, or similarly regulated enterprise environments preferred
• Experience in GCC or offshore delivery models advantageous
• Exposure to high-volume, high-availability backend systems

2. Concurrency & Parallelism – virtual threads (Project Loom), Completable Future, Executor Service, Fork/Join, and basic lock/atomic primitives.

3. JVM & GC tuning – G1/ZGC behaviour, heap dump analysis, JFR profiling, and module system (JPMS) usage.

4. Logging / Instrumentation / Error Handling

5. Build & Unit test foundation – Maven/Gradle multi module builds, JUnit 5 + AssertJ, static code checks (SpotBugs), and basic GraalVM native image awareness.

Spring Ecosystem

1. Spring Boot 3.x – create micro service skeletons, auto configuration, actuator health checks, and simple security (JWT/OAuth2).,

2. Spring Data (JPA/R2DBC) – entity mapping, query hint optimisation, reactive repositories, and transaction demarcation.

3. Spring Cloud basics – service discovery (Eureka), API gateway pattern, externalised config (Config Server), and circuit breaker (Resilience4j).

4. Either Spring Batch OR Spring MVC OR Spring Integration

5. Spring Security fundamentals – CSRF protection, OAuth2 resource server setup, basic role based access control, and token validation.

Database & Data Access Engineering

1. SQL & query optimisation – complex CTEs, window functions, indexing strategies, and execution plan analysis (PostgreSQL/Oracle/MySQL).

2. ORM performance – JPA/Hibernate mapping, N+1 detection, second level cache, batch inserts/updates, and @QueryHints.

3. NoSQL & caching – when to use MongoDB, GraphDB, Redis (session/Cache aside), basic data modeling, and TTL/eviction policies.

4. Migrations & transactions – Flyway/Liquibase versioning, multi DB transaction handling (JTA), and isolation level choices.

Design & Architecture

1. Clean / Hexagonal architecture – ports and adapters, dependency inversion, and keeping frameworks at the outer ring.

2. Domain Driven Design basics – bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, and idempotent processing.

3. API first & contract – OpenAPI/Swagger spec authoring, versioning strategy, and consumer driven contract testing (Pact).

4. Event driven patterns – Kafka or RabbitMQ producers/consumers, out box pattern, and basic saga (choreography) implementation.
