  • Build and maintain full-stack components with consistent quality across backend, API, and front-end layers.
  • Take ownership of features: write the code, own the tests, ship to production, and stand behind what you deploy.
  • Work towards to team engineering practices: participate in code reviews, improve test coverage, and flag gaps in pipeline and operational readiness.
  • Mentor junior and associate engineers through code reviews, pair work, and direct feedback.
  • Apply spec-driven development and AI-assisted tooling as a standard part of how you work., * Production software that meets the quality bar the team has set: tested, observable, and documented.
  • Accelerated delivery by taking features off the plate of senior engineers and TLs, end-to-end.
  • A higher-quality codebase over time through attentive code review and sustainable engineering practices.
  • Junior and associate engineers who grow faster because of working with you.

Requirements

Do you have experience in Version control?, * 5-7 years of professional software engineering experience delivering production systems.

  • Proven ability to own features or services end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation.
  • Experience building production-grade backend services, including RESTful API design and cloud-native deployment.
  • Hands-on experience with Java and Spring Boot for backend service development. Experience with contract-first API design is valued.
  • Cloud deployment experience with AWS: packaging, deploying, and operating services in a cloud environment.
  • Delivery pipeline proficiency: source control, CI/CD, containerization, and automated testing.
  • Observability basics: writing logs with appropriate signal, understanding distributed traces, and using dashboards to diagnose production issues.
