Core Responsibilities :

- Designing and developing the overall architecture of Java applications, including choosing appropriate technologies, frameworks (like Spring Boot, Hibernate, etc.), and architectural patterns (microservices, event-driven architecture, etc.).

- Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code. Participate in code reviews, troubleshoot issues, and mentor junior and mid-level team members.

- Design, implement, and optimize database schemas, queries, stored procedures, and functions to support application requirements. This includes working with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) and potentially NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra)

- Identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks, optimizing application performance, and ensuring efficient resource utilization.

- Working with cloud platforms (like AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization technologies (like Docker and Kubernetes) for deployment and management of applications.

- Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems using Java (Spring Boot) and integrate AI/LLM services. Ensure secure, efficient, and scalable communication between LLM APIs (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI, etc.) and internal systems.

- Work closely with product managers, designers, other developers, and stakeholders to define requirements, design solutions, and ensure successful delivery of software solutions.

- Contribute to defining system architecture, integrating data storage solutions, and exploring new technologies and alternatives for architectural review.

- Conduct software analysis, programming, testing, and debugging to resolve complex technical issues related to both application logic and database integration.

- Implementing and managing caching strategies to improve response times and reduce database load. Choosing appropriate caching strategies (e.g., in-memory caching, distributed caching) based on application requirements. Integrating and managing caching solutions like Redis, Memcached, or Ehcache.

Skills and Experience :

- A strong foundation in Java programming, including core concepts, advanced topics (like multithreading and JVM internals), and design patterns is essential.

- Designing and implementing microservices using Spring Boot and related technologies, ensuring they are scalable, robust, and secure.

- Utilizing messaging systems like Kafka or RabbitMQ to implement event-driven architectures, enabling asynchronous communication between services.

- In-depth knowledge of database technologies, including schema design, SQL optimization, and experience with specific database systems.

- Create and maintain RESTful APIs, and potentially GraphQL APIs, for seamless integration with web and mobile front-end applications. Ensure adherence to best practices in API design, documentation, and implementation.

- Implement monitoring solutions (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to track service health and performance, and troubleshoot issues in production environments.

- Leverage and contribute to the Netflix Open Source Software (OSS) ecosystem, including components like Eureka for service discovery, Hystrix for fault tolerance, and Ribbon for client-side load balancing.

Qualification :

- 6-8 years of experience in software development with a strong focus on Java.

- Proven experience as an engineer in large-scale enterprise systems.

- Excellent understanding of software design and programming principles.

- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

- Excellent communication and leadership skills.
