## Description

The Senior Software Engineer (EIP) will serve as a technical expert building high-speed, real-time cloud integration pipelines and Java microservices on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Acting as the backbone of McLane's "Integration Factory," the role connects core databases to modern supply chain platforms (Manhattan Active, o9 Solutions) and the Cloud Data Lakehouse. Key duties include coding Java/Spring Boot microservices on Cloud Run and GKE, managing event streaming via Pub/Sub and Kafka, and governing APIs and schemas. It requires 12+ years of backend engineering experience along with deep GCP, Java, and event-driven architecture expertise., * Build Cloud-Native Microservices: Architect, code, and deploy fast, resilient microservices using Java (17/21) and Spring Boot on Google Cloud Run and GKE.

 * Handle Real-Time Data & Messaging: Design event-driven streaming pipelines using GCP Pub/Sub, Apache Kafka, and Change Data Capture (CDC / Datastream) to move database changes instantly.
 * API Governance & Schema Management: Design REST APIs (Apigee X) and enforce strict data contracts (Avro, Protobuf, JSON Schema).
 * Technical Leadership: Conduct code reviews (PRs) for internal teams and vendors, establish integration templates, maintain high testing standards (TDD), and set up monitoring/tracing.
 * Core Focus: Building high-speed, real-time cloud data pipelines and microservices on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to connect core business systems (Supply Chain, Warehouse Management, Data Lakehouse).
