Job description

We are looking for a Java Developer with Kafka expertise to build and support Spring Boot microservices and event-driven systems for scalable, high-volume trade processing.

  • Deliver feature enhancements and production bug fixes independently in a fast-paced environment
  • Collaborate with QA and engineering teams to prioritize high-impact fixes and releases
  • Work with business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable Kafka-based solutions
  • Produce clear technical documentation, including architecture decisions, data flows, and release notes
  • Participate in discussions on system design, Kafka topic strategy, and performance optimization
  • Support production systems, including troubleshooting Kafka consumers/producers and resolving data pipeline issues

Requirements

Do you have experience in UNIX?, * Strong Java development experience (Java 8+), with deep knowledge of Spring Boot

  • Hands-on experience with Apache Kafka (producers, consumers, topics, partitions, offsets, consumer groups)
  • Understanding of event-driven architecture and asynchronous messaging patterns

  • Strong SQL skills with experience in relational databases
