Job Overview

We’re hiring a mid-level Java Developer to design, build, and ship secure, scalable web apps and microservices. You’ll work end-to-end—from grooming user stories to deployment—collaborating with product, UX, QA, and DevOps. This role suits someone with 2–4+ years of hands-on development who’s comfortable owning features and improving code quality.

Key ResponsibilitiesBackend & APIs

• Build RESTful services with Java 11+ and Spring Boot (Web, Data, Security).

• Model domains using JPA/Hibernate; handle pagination, caching, and N+1 avoidance.

• Implement authentication/authorization (JWT/OAuth2), validation, and global exception handling.

• Integrate external APIs; document endpoints with OpenAPI/Swagger.

Data & Persistence

• Design normalized schemas and write performant SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL).

• Use NoSQL (MongoDB/Redis) where appropriate for caching, document storage, or queues.

• Manage migrations with Flyway/Liquibase; ensure backup/restore readiness.

Web UI (Server-Side)

• Implement server-rendered views using JSP/JSTL/Servlets (or Thymeleaf).

• Wire up forms, input validation, and session handling; collaborate with frontend teams for SPA integrations.

Dev Tools, CI/CD & Deployment

• Maintain developer-level pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab/Jenkins) with build/test stages (Maven/Gradle).

• Write unit/integration tests (JUnit/Mockito) and uphold code quality gates.

• Containerize services with Docker; deploy to Tomcat/Jetty and assist in environment configuration.

Quality, Observability & Performance

• Apply SOLID principles and common design patterns; participate in code reviews.

• Add logging/metrics/tracing (SLF4J/Logback, ELK/Prometheus/Grafana).

• Profile JVM (GC, heap, threads) and tune SQL queries and indexes.

Ways of Working (Agile/SCRUM)

• Participate in sprint planning, estimation, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retros.

• Break down epics into stories/tasks; maintain concise technical documentation/ADRs.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on Java development experience.

• Strong Core Java (collections, concurrency, streams), REST API design.

• Spring Boot (Web/Data/Security), Hibernate/JPA.

• SQL design & tuning (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and working knowledge of a NoSQL store (MongoDB/Redis).

• Git workflows, Maven/Gradle, unit/integration testing with JUnit/Mockito.

• Basic Docker and Linux server familiarity; developer-level CI/CD exposure.

• Clear communication, ownership mindset, and collaborative attitude.

Good-to-Have (Bonus)

• AI tools for coding & productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot), prompt-assisted test/data generation.

• AWS basics (EC2, S3, RDS, IAM) or container orchestration exposure (ECS/EKS).

• Angular fundamentals (components, services, RxJS) for SPA integrations.

• Messaging/eventing (Kafka/RabbitMQ), microservices patterns (config server, circuit breaker).

• Security hardening (CORS/CSRF, OAuth2/OIDC), SonarQube, SAST/DAST familiarity.

• Product development mindset: instrument features, read telemetry, iterate with users.

Success Metrics (What Good Looks Like)

• Consistent on-time delivery of sprint commitments with low defect escape rates.

• Maintainable, well-tested code (coverage & quality thresholds met).

• Measurable performance improvements on critical endpoints/queries.

• Positive peer code-review feedback and effective cross-team collaboration.

Education

• Bachelor’s/Master’s in CS/IT/Engineering—or equivalent practical experience with strong projects.
