Together with the team you will build the shared microservices and Spring Boot libraries every product team consumes, help shape company-wide standards for hosting, application security, deployment and monitoring, and contribute to the multi-region high-availability story for the new Anaqua / RightHub stack on GCP. Hands-on Java. Hands-on infra. Senior individual contributor - not a lead or manager role.\nYou'll love this job if you like to:\nBuild shared Spring Boot services and libraries with the team - auth, async tasks, replication, observability defaults - that every product team builds on top of.\nHelp shape the company-wide playbook for how services get deployed, secured, monitored and rolled back.\nWork alongside the team on multi-region GCP - GKE, global load balancing, autoscaling, zero-downtime deploys with Helm and GitLab CI.\nContribute to edge and application security - gateway policies, API key and JWT issuance, dependency hygiene, GCP IAM least-privilege.\nTake part in architectural decisions on event sourcing, Pub/Sub topology, schema design and service boundaries - and document them so the rest of engineering can follow.\nShow up for design reviews and platform RFCs alongside the rest of the team.\nWhat you will need to be successful\nDeep production Java with Spring Boot- comfortable with transactional boundaries, connection pools, JVM behaviour under load and how things actually break in production.\nHands-on experience building shared platform libraries or Spring Boot starters that other teams consume - this is the headline ask.\nStrong infrastructure and DevOpschops on a major public cloud (GCP preferred) - Kubernetesin production (GKE), Helm, multi-region deploys, autoscaling, rollbacks.\nTerraform as a daily tool - modules per service, IAM, networking, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL.\nHosting and application security ownership - gateway and edge policies, secret management, dependency scanning, IAM hygiene.\nPostgreSQLdepth - schema design, indexing, query plans, migrations under load, JSONB-heavy data modelling.\nEvent sourcing and asynchronous messaging - designing aggregates and events, integrating services via GCP Pub/Sub, idempotency and ordering.\nContract-first APIs with OpenAPI - the schema is the source of truth.\nProduction observability and incident response on GCP - structured logging, alerting, debugging distributed flows.\nStrong testing discipline - unit and integration tests against real Postgres and Pub/Sub as part of normal development.\nExcellent written and spoken English.\nAI-first mindset\nTreats AI tooling as a daily collaborator, not a gimmick - Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot in the dev loop.\nDesigns platform contracts (OpenAPI, typed events, structured logs) so AI agents and humans can both work against them.\nHas a view on AI in the SDLC - agent-assisted code review, AI-generated runbooks, codegen scaffolding.\nSensible about secrets, audit trails and data boundaries when AI integrations touch internal systems.\nProfessional skills and mindset\nEnd-to-end on your work - designs, ships, monitors and debugs.\nWrites - design docs, RFCs, runbooks. Decisions get documented, not just made.\nPragmatic - ships value before perfect abstractions.\nRaises the bar with peers, not by gate-keeping; happy to share knowledge across the team.\nComfortable making calls under ambiguity and changing them when the data says so.\nStrong customer and business empathy - connects platform work back to product impact.\nPlays well in a small senior team - opinions held lightly, decisions made together.\nA plus, not required\nGCP Professional Cloud Architect (or equivalent) certification.\ngRPC, Envoy or GKE Gateway API experience.\nExperience working on an internal developer platform or “golden path” for service teams.\nReact or Next.js working knowledge for occasional cross-stack work.\nBackground in IP management, legal-tech or regulated B2B SaaS.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4106,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T00:06:38Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":154167,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.282,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":153,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/anaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/anaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T21:43:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32211,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669003},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669003"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fanaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fanaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fanaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/anaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fanaqua-senior-platform-engineer-java-gcp"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":684672}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"anaqua.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":684672},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
