• Experience with Java and Spring Boot.
• Experience with Kubernetes and/or Docker and containerized applications.
• Experience with RESTful APIs and microservices architecture.
• Strong understanding of system design, architecture, scalability, reliability, and performance testing.
• Experience building backend services and distributed systems.
• Experience with AWS and cloud technologies.
• Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL in addition to MS SQL.
• Understanding of cache-based, low-latency system design.
• Experience with CI/CD, preferably GitLab CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Experience with automated testing at the unit, integration, regression, and load levels.
• Experience with messaging technologies and patterns, including Kafka and/or SQS.
• Familiarity with observability, logging, and metrics tools such as New Relic and Splunk.
• Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals and software engineering best practices.
• Ability to understand architecture, systems, networking, integrations, and downstream impacts across a broader technology environment.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical initiatives, design reviews, or engineering processes involving multiple contributors.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Highly self-sufficient and accountable, with the ability to work through technical details, execute independently, communicate design changes, and help guide others through implementation.
