About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, develop, and implement complex full-stack application systems across the entire software development lifecycle.
Build scalable microservices using Spring Boot and event-driven patterns, ensuring alignment with cloud-native development principles, containerization (Docker), and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift).
Develop and maintain RESTful APIs and service-oriented integrations, ensuring high performance, reliability, and secure design through the application of OAuth2, JWT, and encryption standards.
Monitor and control all phases of development including analysis, design, construction, and testing; proactively identify risks and apply sound engineering judgment to resolve complex technical issues.
Collaborate with business stakeholders and cross-functional technology teams to gather requirements, recommend advanced programming solutions, and translate business needs into robust technical implementations.
Define and enforce development standards, operating procedures, and best practices; contribute to post-implementation reviews to validate system design, security posture, and business functionality.
Optimize application performance through parallel processing, multi-threading, and synchronization strategies; leverage algorithms, data structures, and established design patterns to deliver production-grade solutions.
Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines using version control systems (GitHub, Bitbucket) and automation tooling to support continuous delivery and deployment practices.
Serve as a subject matter expert and technical advisor to senior stakeholders and junior team members; provide mentorship and coaching to less experienced analysts and developers.
Assess and manage risk in all engineering decisions, ensuring compliance with applicable policies, regulatory requirements, and ethical standards, with full transparency in reporting and escalation.
