Qualifications\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated experience designing and developing enterprise-scale applications.\nStrong hands-on development experience with Java and Spring Boot, including development of RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs.\nStrong understanding of object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and clean-code principles.\nExperience designing and implementing microservices and distributed systems.\nExperience with event-driven architectures and Apache Kafka or Confluent Kafka, including producers, consumers, asynchronous processing, retries, and failure handling.\nStrong understanding of distributed-system concepts, including: Transaction management and data consistency Idempotent processing Retry and recovery strategies Concurrency and asynchronous processing Failure isolation and resiliency Eventual consistency\nStrong experience with relational and/or distributed SQL databases, including data modeling, indexing, query optimization, transaction management, and performance tuning.\nExperience developing applications on a major cloud platform, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP).\nExperience developing and deploying containerized applications using Kubernetes.\nExperience designing, developing, and integrating REST and/or GraphQL APIs.\nExperience developing secure enterprise applications using modern authentication and authorization standards such as OAuth 2.0 and JWT.\nExperience with automated testing practices, including unit, integration, API, and component testing.\nExperience with modern CI/CD, Git-based development, pull requests, automated builds, code reviews, and deployment pipelines.\nStrong understanding of application observability, including structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, monitoring, alerting, and production troubleshooting.\nDemonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve complex application, database, integration, performance, and distributed-system issues.\nExperience participating in technical design and code reviews and contributing to engineering standards and reusable development patterns.\nStrong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills with the ability to work across engineering, architecture, product, and dependent application teams.\nPreferred Qualifications\nAdvanced hands-on experience with Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.x.\nExperience with Google Cloud Platform, including technologies such as GKE, Cloud Spanner, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Dataflow, and Cloud Composer.\nExperience with Google Cloud Spanner or other horizontally scalable distributed SQL databases.\nAdvanced experience with Apache Kafka / Confluent Kafka, including high-volume event processing, retry strategies, error handling, and idempotent processing.\nExperience with GraphQL and Apollo GraphQL Federation.\nExperience developing modern web applications using React and TypeScript\nExperience with Redis or similar distributed caching technologies.\nExperience with enterprise identity and access-management solutions and standards, including SSO, OAuth 2.0, JWT, and role-based access control.\nExperience working with Kubernetes-based cloud-native architectures and highly available microservices.\nExperience with secrets-management solutions such as HashiCorp Vault.\nExperience with CI/CD technologies such as GitHub Actions and Harness.\nExperience with enterprise observability technologies such as Splunk, Grafana\nExperience developing systems supporting high-volume transactions, large datasets, and bulk or asynchronous processing.\nExperience implementing reliable event-processing patterns, including idempotent consumers/producers, retry mechanisms, failure recovery, and transactional outbox or comparable patterns.\nExperience designing systems that require data versioning, auditability, traceability, and recovery capabilities.\nStrong understanding of performance and scalability engineering, including database optimization, API performance, batching, concurrency, memory/CPU utilization, and high-volume processing.\nExperience evaluating technical trade-offs across scalability, reliability, performance, maintainability, security, and cost.\nExperience modernizing legacy enterprise applications and migrating workloads or data to cloud-native architectures.\nExperience working in healthcare, pharmacy, retail, or other large-scale regulated enterprise environments.\nExperience mentoring other engineers and providing technical guidance while remaining a hands-on individual contributor.\nEducation\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information
