• Design, implement, and unit-test backend services (Java / Spring / Micronaut) and, where needed, frontend components (Angular / TypeScript).
• Contribute to the replatforming of legacy services to Micronaut microservices, applying clean/hexagonal architecture and SOLID principles.
• Build and maintain secure RESTful APIs and integrations across OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, and MFA flows.
• Successfully apply development processes, secure-coding best practices, and code reviews (SonarQube quality gates, Jacoco coverage).
• Author unit, integration, and end-to-end tests (JUnit, Mockito, Cypress) and support CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Gradle).
• Operate in various development environments (Agile, Waterfall, etc.) while collaborating with key stakeholders.
• Resolve technical issues, troubleshoot production incidents, and complete bug fixes.
• Keep abreast of new technology developments in identity & access management, cloud, and application security.
• All other duties as assigned.
