## About the Role

* Extensive hands-on experience with core Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture, with deep proficiency in deploying and operating services on AWS with Docker and Kubernetes.
 * Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs (Anthropic, Bedrock, OpenAI) into production Java services.
 * Working knowledge of both SQL (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB, Cassandra) databases, including when to choose which.
 * Strong foundation in application security: encryption, authentication, authorization, and secure API design.
 * Proven experience tuning high-throughput, low-latency systems for performance and reliability and fluency with event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging patterns (Kafka, SQS, EventBridge, or similar).
 * Experience with modern engineering practices: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated testing at multiple levels (unit, integration, contract).
 * Proven experience with high-traffic consumer facing platform experience and a strong advocate for rigorous coding standards and a quality-first mindset - clean, secure, well-tested code.
 * Exceptional communication skills; able to articulate design tradeoffs with architects, engineers, and product partners.
 * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent work experience in relevant industry); AWS certifications a plus.

## Description

* Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery, while exercising the judgment to review, refactor, and reject generated output where appropriate.
 * Drive design discussions and code reviews, raising the bar for code quality, test coverage, and architectural clarity.
 * Partner with product management, InfoSec, and platform teams to translate business requirements into compliant, effective technical solutions.
 * Identify and resolve performance and scalability bottlenecks through profiling, refactoring, and architectural improvements.
