Java Technical Lead

• Lead the design and development of microservices and REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot.
• Define API contracts, implement business logic, validations, standardized error handling, and logging.
• Apply resiliency patterns (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, idempotency) and drive performance improvements.
• Conduct code reviews, enforce engineering standards, and mentor team members.
• Build and operate services on AWS, following security and operational standards (IAM basics, networking awareness, observability).
• Support CI/CD, release activities, and production troubleshooting.
• Design and optimize data access with Oracle Aurora MySQL and MongoDB.
• Perform query tuning/indexing guidance and improve service performance and reliability.
• Work with file and table-based data in Amazon S3 (folder/partition design, access controls, encryption, lifecycle).
• Support ELT pipelines using AWS Glue (jobs, crawlers, workflows) for ingestion, transformation, and standardization.
• Design and work with Apache Iceberg tables (schema evolution, partitioning, table properties, compaction/maintenance patterns).
• Collaborate with data engineering and analytics teams to enable consumption via Athena/Glue Data Catalog (and related query engines).
• Troubleshoot data pipeline issues (permissions, catalog/table visibility, schema mismatches, performance bottlenecks).
• Integrate services with existing ML inference endpoints; validate payloads and handle model-driven response patterns.
• Support controlled rollouts for model-dependent features in coordination with ML teams.
