## Description

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and operate high-throughput, low-latency, mission-critical platforms. This role focuses on Java-based API development, cloud-native deployments (Google Cloud Platform or equivalent), modern access management protocols, and AI-assisted software development.
You will own services with strict reliability, performance, and availability SLAs, operating at scale in a security-sensitive environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Core Engineering

· Design, develop, and maintain high-performance Java services supporting REST-based APIs & having good Security SME knowledge.

· Build cloud-native, horizontally scalable services deployed on Google Cloud Platform and/or other public cloud platforms.

· Develop and secure APIs using OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SAML-based authentication and authorization flows.

· Implement API-first designs with strong contract discipline, backward compatibility, and understandability.

Scale, Performance & Reliability

· Build and operate highly resilient systems with:

o API latency SLA < 50ms

o Throughput > 5,000 TPS

o Availability 99.9%

o Error budget < 0.1%

· Design for fault tolerance, graceful degradation, and fast recovery.

· Apply resilience patterns such as timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and rate limiting.

· Participate in production support, incident response, RCA, and continuous reliability improvement.

Cloud & Deployment

Use CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment.

Own build * deploy * run lifecycle, including monitoring, alerting, and capacity planning.

Work with containerized workloads and modern deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags).

AI-Enabled Development

· Actively use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot in agentic mode) to:

o Accelerate feature development

o Improve code quality and test coverage

o Assist with refactoring, documentation, and troubleshooting

· Champion responsible and effective AI usage as part of daily engineering workflows.

Collaboration

· Partner with platform, security, SRE, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.

· Contribute to architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making.
