Job Description

About the Job: Infoya is seeking a hands-on Lead Java Developer who is already operating at a technical lead level and demonstrates the curiosity, judgment, and enthusiasm to grow into broader architecture ownership. This role will help shape efficient, scalable solutions by connecting business needs, application design flows, integration patterns, and cloud architecture with high-quality engineering execution.

The ideal candidate combines deep Java and Spring expertise with strong systems-design capability. You will remain close to the code while guiding solution design, reviewing technical decisions, mentoring developers, and collaborating with product, engineering, infrastructure, architecture, and business stakeholders.

Office Location: Toronto

Work Arrangement: Hybrid (2 days in office)

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, optimization, and support of scalable Java and Spring Boot microservices for high-traffic e-commerce applications.
  
• Translate business and product requirements into clear application flows, component designs, integration patterns, and pragmatic technical solutions.
  
• Contribute to application, integration, API, and data architecture standards across the e-commerce portfolio.
  
• Design secure RESTful APIs, event-driven services, distributed workflows, and resilient integrations using technologies such as Pub/Sub, Kafka, or RabbitMQ.
  
• Evaluate and recommend frameworks, databases, cloud services, and architectural patterns based on scalability, reliability, maintainability, security, and cost.
  
• Review solution designs, code, and technical documentation; identify risks early and support architecture governance and design-quality practices.
  
• Partner with product, engineering, QA, DevOps, infrastructure, architecture, and business teams to drive efficient solutioning and delivery.
  
• Provide technical leadership through mentoring, design reviews, code reviews, troubleshooting, and knowledge sharing.

• Build for security, compliance, observability, high availability, performance, and production resilience from the outset.
  
• Investigate complex production issues, conduct root-cause analysis, and improve platform stability and performance.
  
• Evaluate emerging technologies and architectural patterns, validating their practical value through prototypes or proof-of-concept work when appropriate.
