Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer - Core Java & Apache Spark

We are hiring an elite Senior Software Engineer to build and scale our core data processing and application infrastructure. This role demands deep, hands-on expertise in the Java ecosystem and distributed computing with Apache Spark. You will be responsible for the architecture, design, and implementation of mission-critical systems that process massive datasets, requiring a mastery of concurrency, JVM internals, and modern cloud-native patterns.

Core Tech Stack :

- Languages & Runtimes : Java (8+), SQL, JVM

- Big Data Ecosystem : Hadoop, Hive, Impala, Spark Tuning & Optimization

- Databases : Relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, Oracle), NoSQL (MongoDB, Graph DB)

- Messaging & Middleware : JMS, Solace

- Containerization & Orchestration : Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift

- Build & CI/CD : Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, Git

- Code Quality & Security : SonarQube, TDD (JUnit/Mockito), Secure Coding Practices

- Frameworks & Libraries : Spring (Boot, Data, Security, Batch, Integration), Apache Spark (RDD, Spark SQL, DataFrames/DataSets)

Key Responsibilities :

- Architect & Build : Design and construct high-throughput, low-latency data processing pipelines using Apache Spark and the Spring ecosystem.

- Performance Engineering : Dive deep into JVM internals, garbage collection tuning, and Spark job optimization to maximize performance and resource efficiency.

- Distributed Systems Design : Implement scalable, resilient, and transactional architectures leveraging container orchestration (Kubernetes/OpenShift) and distributed data stores.

- Code & Design Excellence: Champion and enforce best practices in software engineering, including SOLID principles, advanced design patterns, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD).

- Database Mastery : Engineer and optimize data models for both relational and NoSQL databases, ensuring data integrity, performance, and scalability.

- CI/CD Automation : Own and enhance CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment of Java applications and Spark jobs in a containerized environment.

- Technical Leadership : Lead design and code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and drive the adoption of new technologies and architectural patterns across the team.

Required Technical Qualifications :

- Core Java & JVM : Expert-level proficiency in Java, including the Collections Framework, Lambdas, and the Java Concurrency API. Demonstrable experience tuning the JVM and troubleshooting memory/GC issues.

- Apache Spark : Proven, hands-on experience developing, deploying, and tuning complex Spark applications for large-scale data transformation and analysis.

- Spring Ecosystem : Extensive, practical experience with the Spring Framework, particularly Spring Boot, Spring Data, and Spring Batch in a production environment.

- Data Structures & Algorithms : Deep understanding of fundamental data structures and algorithms, with a focus on their application in distributed computing and performance critical systems.

- Containerization & Cloud-Native : Hands-on experience with Docker for building images and Kubernetes/OpenShift for deploying and managing distributed applications.

- Database Engineering : Strong command of SQL and relational database design, including transaction management and indexing. Experience with at least one production NoSQL database (MongoDB, Graph DB, etc.).

- Architectural Design : Practical application of OOP, SOLID, and DDD principles to build maintainable and scalable systems. You write tests first (TDD) and believe in robust, automated testing.
