- Provide technical guidance on cloud adoption strategies (Azure/AWS), ensuring robust cloud-native architecture.

- Design and implement Messaging Queues (MQ) and Kafka for efficient and scalable communication between microservices.

- Develop and implement Caching strategies (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to optimize system performance and reduce latency.

- Apply Design Patterns (e.g., Singleton, Factory, Observer) to build scalable and maintainable systems.

- Define standards and governance for DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring automated and secure deployments.

- Perform architecture reviews, performance tuning, and security assessments for backend applications.

- Drive AI-based modernization of applications, integrating machine learning models and AI-driven analytics for predictive insights and automation.

- Ensure secure coding practices are followed, implementing secure authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure API designs.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including DevOps, Product Management, and Security, to align business and technical objectives.

- Stay up to date with emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry trends to drive innovation.

- Collaborate with stakeholders to define and design highly resilient architectures that can handle peak loads and scale effectively.

Required Skills & Experience :

- 12+ years of experience in backend development and architecture with Java-based technologies.

- Strong expertise in Spring Boot, Microservices architecture, and Distributed Systems.

- Hands-on experience with Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloudnative deployment strategies.

- Strong understanding of Event-Driven Architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).

- Proficiency in designing and optimizing RESTful APIs and GraphQL APIs.

- Experience in NoSQL and Relational Databases such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL.

- Expertise in performance tuning, caching mechanisms (Redis, Memcached), and API gateways.

- Hands-on experience in Azure or AWS cloud services such as ECS, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, IAM, and networking components.

- Experience with CI/CD automation, infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and DevOps best practices.

- Strong knowledge of security best practices, including authentication, authorization, and data protection.

- Ability to work in an Agile development environment, leading technical discussions and mentoring teams.

- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to design solutions for complex business challenges.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with multi-region deployments and disaster recovery planning.

- Familiarity with GraphQL, gRPC, or API Gateway implementations.

- Knowledge of AI/ML integration in backend architectures is a plus.

- Experience working in enterprise-level applications and large-scale environments.

- Certifications in AWS/Azure Architect roles are a plus.
