Job Title: Backend Developer Lead (Java & Quarkus)

Job Summary:

We are seeking a skilled Backend Developer with expertise in Java and Quarkus to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, high-performance backend services using modern frameworks and cloud-native technologies. With a strong foundation in Java and experience with Quarkus, you will contribute to building resilient, efficient, and secure microservices that power our enterprise applications on AWS.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Service Development:

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance backend services using Java and Quarkus.
• Build and deploy cloud-native microservices optimized for AWS environments.
• Implement RESTful APIs and event-driven architectures using reactive programming principles.

1. Cloud Integration:

• Leverage AWS services such as Lambda, S3, EC2, RDS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and CloudWatch for scalable and secure application deployment.
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Optimize application performance, cost, and reliability in AWS through best practices and monitoring.

1. Framework Expertise:

• Utilize Quarkus to build ultra-fast, low-memory footprint applications with native image support.
• Integrate with messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, SQS), databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, DynamoDB), and caching layers (e.g., Redis).
• Implement security mechanisms using JWT, OAuth2, and AWS IAM.

1. Code Quality & Best Practices:

• Write clean, modular, and maintainable code following SOLID principles and design patterns.
• Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices.
• Integrate automated testing (unit, integration, contract) using JUnit, Mockito, and testcontainers.

1. Collaboration & DevOps:

• Work closely with frontend developers, DevOps engineers, and product managers to deliver end-to-end features.
• Participate in CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve production issues using logging (CloudWatch), tracing, and observability tools.

1. Innovation & Continuous Learning:

• Stay up-to-date with emerging trends in cloud-native development, serverless computing, and Java ecosystem.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and drive innovation in backend systems.

Requirements:

1. Education:

   Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

2. Experience: 6

   years of professional experience in backend development with Java.

3. Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in Java 11/17 and modern Java features (e.g., Streams, CompletableFuture).
• Hands-on experience with Quarkus framework, including reactive programming, native image compilation, and extensions.
• Strong understanding of REST API design, microservices architecture, and event-driven systems.
• Experience with AWS cloud services and infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).

1. Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking abilities.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively in agile environments.

Nice to Have:

1. Experience with serverless architectures and AWS Lambda.
2. Knowledge of message brokers (Kafka, SQS) and distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry).
3. Familiarity with security best practices (OWASP, secrets management, encryption).
4. Contributions to open-source projects or experience with performance tuning.
