Java Developer on W2

Description

• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend adoption where appropriate to maintain a competitive edge.
• Define and evolve the overarching architecture for microservices, ensuring alignment with business and technical objectives.
• Oversee capacity planning and performance tuning efforts to handle high throughput and large data volumes.
• Identify technical risks and propose mitigation strategies, including spikes, proofs of concept, or architectural adjustments.
• Facilitate communication between engineering teams, executive leadership, and non-technical stakeholders to ensure alignment.
• Collaborate with senior executives and product owners to develop a multi-year technology roadmap, focusing on scalability, resilience, and high availability.
• Advocate for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) best practices, including automated build pipelines, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Regularly update leadership on project risks, constraints, and timelines.
• Ensure compliance with data governance and regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.) as needed.
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers, fostering a learning culture through design reviews, code reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Ensure each service adheres to established coding standards, security practices, and API versioning guidelines.
• Work with DevOps teams to optimize deployment processes, reduce downtime, and ensure rapid rollbacks when necessary.
• Determine data storage solutions (SQL, NoSQL) and data partitioning/sharding strategies aligned with service boundaries.
• Work closely with business stakeholders, transforming high-level requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Champion the implementation of centralized logging, distributed tracing, and real-time monitoring tools (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger).
• Partner with project managers, product owners, and QA leads to ensure clear priorities and high-quality deliverables.
• Lead teams in designing, developing, and deploying microservices using best practices around RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, and asynchronous messaging.
• Provide technical oversight and guidance on domain-driven design (DDD), service boundaries, and data management strategies.
• Drive incident response and root cause analysis workflows to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Implement fault-tolerant patterns (e.g., circuit breakers, retries, load balancing) and strategies to mitigate single points of failure.

Requirements

• Solid background in relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra) with an emphasis on data modeling and scalability.
• Deep experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Outstanding communication and presentation skills, able to convey complex technical concepts to varied audiences.
• Proficiency in microservices architecture, domain-driven design (DDD), and event-driven systems.
• Certifications in AWS.
• Expertise in observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) and performance tuning for large-scale, high-throughput applications.
• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to quickly make informed decisions.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent real-world experience).
• Proven leadership and mentorship abilities, adept at guiding teams through change and fostering innovation.
• Strong understanding of messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ) and distributed transactions (Saga patterns, eventual consistency).
