Senior Java Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Java Engineer

Description

Work on scalable, cloud-native enterprise applications by designing and delivering Java 21 microservices, REST APIs, and integration/event-driven components. Lead end-to-end technical solutions from architecture and testing through deployment, stabilization, and production troubleshooting on Azure and Kubernetes (AKS/OpenShift). Use enterprise-approved AI-assisted development practices while ensuring security, governance, observability, and modernization of legacy systems.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and support scalable enterprise applications
• Develop and maintain microservices-based applications using Java, Spring Boot, and cloud-native technologies
• Own the end-to-end technical solution from requirements and architecture through development, testing, deployment, stabilization, and post-production support
• Design and develop scalable Java and Spring Boot microservices, REST APIs, integration services, and event-driven components
• Define cloud-native architecture on Azure with emphasis on security, resilience, scalability, availability, cost awareness, and operational supportability
• Lead deployment and lifecycle management of applications on AKS or OpenShift using Docker, Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, GitOps, and automated release pipelines
• Drive modernization of legacy and monolithic applications into modular, API-led, microservices-based, and cloud-native solutions
• Establish engineering standards for coding, API design, exception handling, logging, configuration, testing, security, and observability
• Conduct architecture/design/code/security/performance reviews and production-readiness assessments
• Implement resiliency patterns such as timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, rate limiting, graceful degradation, and disaster-recovery readiness
• Partner with stakeholders to translate requirements into executable designs
• Lead technical troubleshooting for complex production issues and guide teams through root-cause analysis and preventive improvements

Requirements

• 15+ years of software engineering experience with Java enterprise applications
• Strong hands-on expertise in Java 21
• Spring Boot 3.x, Spring Framework 6.x, Spring Security, Hibernate/JPA
• Knowledge of Virtual Threads, concurrency, JVM internals, memory management, garbage collection, and performance tuning
• Experience designing and building microservices-based, cloud-native, distributed applications
• Strong Kubernetes experience (deployments, services, ingress, secrets, autoscaling, health probes, resource management, namespaces, RBAC, Helm, upgrade planning, troubleshooting)
• Strong container engineering experience with Docker (secure base images, image scanning, registries, runtime practices)
• CI/CD and infrastructure automation experience (GitHub Actions or Jenkins, Maven or Gradle, SonarQube, artifact repositories, Terraform or Bicep)
• Git-based workflows
• NoSQL experience (preferably MongoDB; Azure Cosmos DB acceptable)
• Practical experience with Azure (or equivalent cloud platform) across deployment, monitoring, security, scalability, and resiliency
• Automated testing expertise (JUnit, Mockito, API testing tools, frontend testing frameworks)
• Application security knowledge (authentication/authorization, OAuth 2.0, JWT, secure API development, vulnerability remediation)
• Production support experience (incident management, root-cause analysis, log analysis, performance optimization, defect/problem management)
• Observability tools experience (Splunk, Dynatrace, Application Insights, Grafana, Prometheus)
• Modernization experience (monolith-to-microservices, cloud migration, legacy integration)
• Experience in architecture/design/code reviews, release planning, and technology roadmap discussions
• Ability to translate business/functional requirements into scalable designs and implementation plans
• Experience with AI-driven software development lifecycle using enterprise-approved tools (GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot) with governance compliance and human review
