Responsibilities:

• Design & Build: Architect and implement Spring Boot microservices and RESTful APIs with best practices for domain-drive design, scalability, reliability, and maintainability
• Event‑Driven Systems: Deliver features using event‑driven architecture (Kafka, SNS/SQS/Kinesis), including publish/subscribe patterns, idempotency, retries, and error handling
• Data & Storage: Model schemas and access patterns for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis; optimize for correctness, performance, and cost
• Develop using AI assisted‑ workflows with tools such as GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q, and Claude to accelerate coding, refactoring, documentation, and test generation
• Leverage agentic patterns for multistep tasks such as feature scaffolding, modernization, dependency analysis, and CI/CD interactions—with appropriate human‑in‑the‑loop (HITL) controls
• Apply AI-assisted‑ PR review and security scanning, validating suggestions with engineering judgment and secure by design principles
• Continuously evaluate and improve how AI tools are used across the SDLC to increase throughput, quality, and developer experience
• Quality Engineering: Own testing strategy—unit, integration, and contract tests—while enforcing CI quality gates
• CI/CD & Automation: Help shape next generation‑ pipelines as we transition to AWS EKS

• Proficiency with SQL Server or PostgreSQL
• Strong test discipline (unit/integration/contract), CI/CD pipelines, and code review excellence
• Experience with observability tools (New Relic, Datadog, Splunk, etc.) and incident response
• Securing APIs with Spring Security and OKTA
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) and DevSecOps practices
• Experience building APIs integrated with Kong API Gateway, Apigee, or similar API Gateway
• Experience with MongoDB, Redis, or similar NoSQL technology
• Experience building services deployed to Tomcat, Jetty, or similar Java Servlet containers
• Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CDK), containers/orchestration (EKS/ECS), or serverless (Lambda) experience
