In This Role, You Will

  • Design, develop, and implement scalable APIs and Microservices using cloud platforms (e.g., Google Cloud Platform).
  • Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex applications, ensuring high standards of quality, security, and compliance.
  • Take ownership of technical solutions, ensuring proper design documentation and governance practices are followed.
  • Analyze complex business requirements and translate them into robust, scalable technical solutions.
  • Drive technical decision-making across Agile teams in collaboration with Solution Architects and senior stakeholders.
  • Define and enforce coding standards, architectural guidelines, and testing frameworks.
  • Partner with Delivery Leads to plan milestones, manage risks, and ensure timely and successful delivery.
  • Apply industry best practices in design, development, testing, and deployment of enterprise applications.
  • Mentor and guide developers, fostering technical excellence and continuous improvement within the team.
  • Monitor system performance, proactively identify issues, and lead root cause analysis and resolution.
  • Provide production support and ensure application stability and reliability.
  • Adapt quickly to changing priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

Do You Have the Skills to Succeed in This Role?

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in application development using Java frameworks, with strong expertise in Object-Oriented Programming and Design Patterns.
  • Proven experience in leading development teams and driving technical solutions for large-scale applications.
  • Solid experience across the full SDLC: requirements analysis, design, development, testing, release, and cloud deployment.
  • Hands-on experience with Microservices Architecture, REST APIs, Spring Boot, and modern front-end frameworks such as Angular or React.
  • Experience working with cloud-native technologies (GCP preferred) and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).
  • Strong knowledge of DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, Git, Jenkins, Maven, JFrog Artifactory, ArgoCD).
  • Experience with caching technologies (Redis) and performance optimization.
  • Good understanding of secure coding practices in regulated industries and tools such as Blackduck, Checkmarx, or Aquasec.
  • Strong database experience, preferably with DB2 or similar relational databases.
  • Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor junior developers and lead by example in technical execution.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in banking or financial services domain.
  • Exposure to event-driven architecture and messaging systems (Kafka, Pub/Sub).
  • Experience with observability tools (Splunk, Dynatrace, Prometheus).
