Java Full Stack Developer

Role

Hands-on Tech Lead (individual contributor lead) responsible for shipping secure, scalable backend services with a high coding cadence (approximately 60–70% coding, 30–40% technical leadership). Drive design, reliability, CI/CD, and AI-enabled productivity while mentoring engineers and leading squads/streams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and scale RESTful APIs with attention to versioning, schema evolution, and backward compatibility.
• Implement and maintain data models and performance patterns for MySQL/PostgreSQL and MongoDB/Cassandra (indexing, optimization, caching).
• Implement RBAC and modern auth flows (OAuth2/OIDC, JWT) and apply security best practices.
• Lead design, code reviews, and Git workflows (trunk-based or GitFlow); enforce branching strategies and quality gates.
• Build and operate production-grade containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes (deployments, services, ingress, HPA, rollout/rollback).
• Drive CI/CD, reliability, testing (unit, integration, contract such as Pact, performance), and API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI, Postman).
• Integrate cloud services (compute, networking, storage, IAM, managed DBs) on at least one major cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Mentor and ramp engineers, set team guardrails, and provide technical leadership while remaining hands-on.

GenAI & AI Tools

• Use AI coding copilots and code-generation tooling in daily workflows; set team policies and guardrails for AI-assisted development.
• Integrate at least one LLM platform (e.g., Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, OpenAI, Anthropic) into backend services.
• Implement RAG solutions using vector stores (OpenSearch, pgvector, Pinecone, Redis) and embeddings.
• Apply prompt engineering, evaluation, model lifecycle practices (versioning, offline/online evaluation, A/B testing), telemetry, and safety/abuse handling.
• Support collaborative, AI-assisted development workflows (“vibe coding”) and convert exploratory prompts into production-grade code and tests.

Requirements

• 5–7 years total experience in backend/platform engineering with recent, strong hands-on Java and Spring Boot experience.
• 3–5 years leading squads/streams while remaining deeply technical.
• Proven experience building production RESTful APIs and data systems using MySQL/PostgreSQL and MongoDB/Cassandra.
• Practical experience with OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, RBAC, Git workflows, and API tooling (Swagger/OpenAPI, Postman).
• Production experience with Docker and Kubernetes and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Testing experience across unit, integration, contract (e.g., Pact), and performance testing.
• Strong communication skills and ability to deliver independently.

Nice to Have

• Daily use of AI coding tools in IDE/CLI and experience setting team guardrails.
• Hands-on integration experience with LLM platforms and practical prompt engineering experience.
• Experience with RAG architectures and vector stores (OpenSearch, pgvector, Pinecone, Redis).
• Familiarity with model lifecycle, telemetry, A/B testing, and safety/abuse mitigation.
