In this role, you will bridge the gap between development and operations, ensuring the high availability, scalability, and performance of our core applications. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in production support and system reliability, combined with deep technical expertise in the Java ecosystem, Spring Boot framework, and Microservices architecture. You will be responsible for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing cloud-native Java applications to ensure seamless business operations. Key Responsibilities 1. Application Operations & Production Support Monitor, maintain, and support core business applications built on Java, Spring Boot, and Microservices. Act as the first line of defense for application alerts, incidents, and performance degradation, ensuring strict adherence to SLAs. Conduct deep-dive root cause analysis (RCA) for complex technical issues spanning across distributed microservices. Deploy, configure, and maintain application updates, patches, and hotfixes in staging and production environments. 2. Monitoring & Performance Optimization Design and implement robust observability dashboards using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), or AppDynamics/New Relic. Monitor microservices health, API latencies, heap memory utilization, and thread dumps to proactively identify bottlenecks. Optimize JVM performance, connection pooling, and database queries to ensure peak application efficiency. 3. Automation & CI/CD Collaborate with DevOps teams to manage and improve continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions). Automate routine operational tasks, health checks, and self-healing scripts using Bash, Python, or Ansible. ## Related Videos - [Kubernetes Native Java](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/383-kubernetes-native-java) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) - [Enterprise-Cloud-Native - Fast-Paced Development & Deployment in a Highly Secure Banking Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/671-enterprise-cloud-native-fast-paced-development-deployment-in-a-highly-secure-banking-environment) ## Related Articles - [Top 10 Java Libraries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/364-top-10-java-libraries) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [93 Java Interview Questions You Should Prepare For](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/14-93-java-interview-questions-you-should-prepare-for) - [Java Basics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/122-java-basics) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [6 Reasons to Use Java For Your Next AI Project](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/111-6-reasons-to-use-java-for-your-next-ai-project)
