About The Role
Our client is one of India's largest consumer internet platforms, processing millions of transactions every day. You will join a backend team that owns core, high-traffic services and build Java microservices that stay fast and reliable under heavy concurrent load.
What You Will Do
- Design, build, and own backend microservices in Java and Spring Boot, from design doc to production
- Build for high throughput and low latency, with clear ownership of p99 latency and availability targets
- Work with Kafka or similar queues for event-driven flows, Redis for caching, and SQL plus NoSQL stores for persistence
- Own production health: monitoring, alerting, incident RCAs, and performance tuning
- Collaborate with product, mobile, and platform teams on API contracts and rollouts
Must Have
- 3 to 5 years of backend development in Java with strong, recent Spring Boot experience
- Built and owned production microservices yourself, not just worked in a codebase that had them
- Hands-on with at least two of: Kafka or similar queues, Redis or Memcached, Cassandra, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch
- Concrete scale receipts: you can speak to QPS, events per day, p99 latency, and what you personally did to improve them
- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and distributed systems basics
- Product company background
Good to Have
- Docker, Kubernetes, AWS or GCP
- System design at scale: sharding, partitioning, rate limiting, idempotency, backpressure
- gRPC, CI/CD ownership, infra as code
Skills: high scale distributed system,java,ownership,microservices
