• Define, design, and implement highly scalable, available, and secure backend architectures using Java, Spring Boot, and microservices.
• Architect and develop distributed systems, ensuring performance, scalability, and fault tolerance.
• Lead and mentor engineering teams in implementing best practices for microservices development and deployment.
• Design and optimize APIs and event-driven architectures to support high-volume transactions.
• Establish best practices for containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and orchestration for scalable deployments.
• Provide technical guidance on cloud adoption strategies (Azure/AWS), ensuring robust cloud-native architecture.
• Design and implement Messaging Queues (MQ) and Kafka for efficient and scalable communication between microservices.
• Develop and implement Caching strategies (e.g., Redis, Memcached) to optimize system performance and reduce latency.
• Apply Design Patterns (e.g., Singleton, Factory, Observer) to build scalable and maintainable systems.
• Define standards and governance for DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring automated and secure deployments.
• Perform architecture reviews, performance tuning, and security assessments for backend applications.
• Drive AI-based modernization of applications, integrating machine learning models and AI-driven analytics for predictive insights and automation.
• Ensure secure coding practices are followed, implementing secure authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure API designs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including DevOps, Product Management, and Security, to align business and technical objectives.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies, frameworks, and industry trends to drive innovation.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to define and design highly resilient architectures that can handle peak loads and scale effectively.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 12+ years of experience in backend development and architecture with Java-based technologies.
• Strong expertise in Spring Boot, Microservices architecture, and Distributed Systems.
• Hands-on experience with Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud-native deployment strategies.
• Strong understanding of Event-Driven Architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
• •Proficiency in designing and optimizing RESTful APIs and GraphQL APIs.
• Experience in NoSQL and Relational Databases such as MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL.
• Expertise in performance tuning, caching mechanisms (Redis, Memcached), and API gateways.
• Hands-on experience in Azure or AWS cloud services such as ECS, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, IAM, and networking components.
• Experience with CI/CD automation, infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and DevOps best practices.
• Strong knowledge of security best practices, including authentication, authorization, and data protection.
• Ability to work in an Agile development environment, leading technical discussions and mentoring teams.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to design solutions for complex business challenges.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with multi-region deployments and disaster recovery planning.
• Familiarity with GraphQL, gRPC, or API Gateway implementations.
• Knowledge of AI/ML integration in backend architectures is a plus.
• Experience working in enterprise-level applications and large-scale environments.
• Certifications in AWS/Azure Architect roles are a plus.

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge cloud-native and microservices-based architectures.
• Opportunity to lead and mentor highly skilled engineering teams.
• A culture that encourages innovation, learning, and technical excellence.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
