Job Description

How you will contribute

Business Requirements & System Evolution

• Work with product managers, business analysts and users to understand processes and business rules. Contribute to application requirements, domain models and acceptance criteria, and assess the impact of proposed changes.
• Understand existing code, data flows and dependencies before proposing changes. Plan incremental takeovers and upgrades that preserve business rules, API compatibility and service continuity.

Backend Development & Delivery Ownership

• Build Java and Spring Boot services, REST APIs and reusable business modules using the CUS SDK. Reuse shared authentication, brand context, configuration and business services.
• Implement relational data models and migrations, Redis caching and Kafka integrations. Address transaction integrity, duplicate-message handling, safe retries, performance and recoverability.
• Review partners’ designs, code and tests. Complete handovers with source code, build and deployment instructions, design decisions and runbooks that enable independent in-house maintenance.
• Maintain automated tests and application diagnostics. Release through established CI/CD and GitOps controls, and work with QA and operations on production incidents, rollback and service improvement.

AI-Augmented Engineering

• Lead practical trials of AI-assisted coding, testing and maintenance with the development lead and AI specialists, using real application changes.
• Prepare repository instructions, CUS SDK examples and test fixtures that guide coding agents. Review generated changes for correctness, security, compatibility and maintainability.
• Assess delivery time, review effort, rework and defects. Turn effective approaches into reusable engineering practices that other developers can apply.
