• Collaborate with engineering teams and stakeholders to understand use cases, communicate technical decisions, and deliver application solutions.
• Provide technical guidance and coaching to other engineers and contribute to improving application development practices.
• Support application maintenance, testing, upgrades, patches, and vulnerability remediation.

• Strong hands-on Java backend or middle-tier development experience.
• Extensive experience working in Linux environments.
• Experience with Spring/Spring Boot and enterprise middleware or application-server technologies such as WebLogic, JBoss, or comparable technologies.
• Experience with Jenkins, CI/CD, or build automation.
