Java Backend Software Engineer

• Implement backend microservices and APIs independently within established architectural patterns.
• Write production-quality code: tested, observable, documented, and ready to operate.
• Participate actively in code reviews: provide useful feedback to peers and apply feedback to your own work promptly.
• Diagnose and resolve issues in production with appropriate urgency and communication.
• Identify scope gaps and technical risks in your work early and raise them before they become blockers.
• Learn and apply the team’s engineering practices (CI/CD, observability, API design, testing) consistently.
• Apply AI-assisted development tooling as a standard part of your workflow.

Working experience with Java and Spring Boot for backend microservice development, including RESTful API design and integration.

Familiarity with cloud deployment (AWS preferred): deploying and operating containerized services.

Delivery pipeline experience: source control, CI/CD workflows, and automated testing as standard practice.

Basic observability: writing structured logs, reading dashboards, understanding what a distributed trace tells you.

Database fundamentals: writing queries, understanding indexes, choosing appropriate data storage patterns.

Experience with version control and collaborative development workflows (branching, pull requests, code review).
