• Architect & Build : Design and develop high-performance applications using Core Java (17+), Spring Boot, and Quarkus with a focus on microservices and distributed architectures.
• Data Management : Implement and optimize data solutions using SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), ensuring high availability and data integrity.
• Performance Optimization : Design and integrate caching and queuing solutions using Redis to achieve high throughput and responsiveness at scale.
• Cloud & Infrastructure : Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Quality & Best Practices : Champion engineering excellence through comprehensive testing (unit, integration, performance), thorough code reviews, and clear technical documentation.
• Collaboration & Leadership : Partner with product, QA, and operations teams to deliver impactful solutions while mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of continuous learning.

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years of professional Java development experience building production-grade distributed systems.
• Deep expertise in Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring Data) or Quarkus.
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and system design principles.

• Experience with queuing services and asynchronous messaging patterns.
• Working knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Proficiency with Git, Maven/Gradle, and CI/CD practices.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred

• Experience with Java 17+ features (records, sealed classes, pattern matching).
• Experience with distributed caching solutions (e.g., Redis).
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tools.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on challenging, large-scale distributed systems.
• Collaborative engineering culture with a focus on growth and continuous learning.
