WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Software Design & Development

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, maintainable, and high-performing backend software.

• Contribute to architectural and design decisions that balance short-term delivery with long-term sustainability.

• Apply best practices in coding, security, performance, and technical debt management.

Partnering with Product & Design

• Collaborate with Product Managers and Designers to validate ideas, estimate effort, and assess feasibility.

• Balance business needs with technical realities when implementing solutions.

Delivery & Execution

• Deliver high-quality software reliably and on time.

• Support continuous deployment while following the team's release plan.

• Help identify and mitigate technical and operational risks early.

Innovation & Experimentation

• Support rapid prototyping and technical validation before full implementation.

• Collaborate with design to test and validate solutions.

• Support A/B testing and iterative development.

• Stay current with emerging technologies and suggest improvements.

Backend & Data Engineering

• Help stabilize a large legacy Java/Oracle application and support its gradual modularization over time.

• Develop and maintain complex Oracle stored procedures implementing business workflows and business logic (250+ procedures).

• Build and maintain Oracle triggers.

• Work with large, complex database schemas (1000+ tables), including schema design and migrations.

• Contribute to a large, complex Java codebase with an extensive set of dependencies.

• Apply code generation techniques to streamline development.

• Design and implement REST APIs.

• Integrate with internal and external APIs.

• Build file-processing capabilities (XML, CSV, Excel).

• Implement asynchronous workers and background jobs.

• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

WHAT YOU BRING ALONG

Architecture & System Design

• Understanding of cloud-native, distributed systems (microservices, DDD, event-driven).

• Familiarity with resiliency, scalability, and observability patterns.

• Knowledge of API-first design, integration patterns, and data storage choices.

Backend Engineering

• Highly proficient in Java SE and modern Java coding principles.

• Experience working on large, complex Java projects with extensive dependencies, using Maven (lifecycle and modules).

• Experience with the Spring Framework (not Spring Boot) — e.g. Spring Core, MVC, and Context.

• Builds REST APIs (OpenAPI) and event-driven services (Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS).

• Skilled in database modeling (SQL & NoSQL) and caching strategies.

• Strong hands-on experience with Oracle: stored procedures, triggers, and complex schemas (1000+ tables), including migrations.

• Proficient with Hibernate and Liquibase.

• Experience with code generation tooling.

• Experience with file processing (XML, CSV, Excel) and API integrations.

• Experience building asynchronous workers and background jobs.

• Experienced in profiling, debugging, and performance optimization.

Security & Quality

• Applies OWASP, secure coding, and threat-mitigation practices.

• Implements OAuth2, JWT, OpenID Connect, and SSO.

• Strong in TDD, unit/integration/E2E testing, code reviews, and static analysis.

Cloud, DevOps & Automation

• Hands-on with AWS/Azure/GCP, cloud networking, and IAM.

• Strong with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code.

• Experienced with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, ELK/EFK, OpenTelemetry).

Product & Collaboration

• Translates business requirements into technical implementation details.

• Works closely with Product and Design on feasibility and solution validation.

• Uses metrics, logs, and data to guide decisions and reduce risk.
