Job Description: Software Engineer (Java, Cloud, Event-Driven Systems)

Position Overview

We are looking for a talented Software Engineer with solid experience in Java and modern

cloud-native frameworks (Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Quarkus). The ideal candidate has

hands-on experience building and deploying microservices and event-driven systems in

AWS, with exposure to frontend frameworks (Angular, React, or Vue).

You will work as part of a collaborative engineering team, contributing to the design,

development, and deployment of applications, while continuously learning and adopting

best practices in cloud, DevOps, and modern architectures.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Development

• Develop and maintain Java-based applications using Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Quarkus.
• Build and consume RESTful APIs to support application functionality.
• Contribute to microservice implementations in distributed environments.
• Assist in building event-driven applications leveraging Kafka, Kinesis, or Redpanda.
• Implement serverless functions using AWS Lambda where appropriate.

Cloud & Infrastructure

• Develop and deploy applications on AWS cloud platforms.
• Gain hands-on exposure to services such as SQS, SNS, API Gateway, EventBridge, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, or Aurora.
• Contribute to infrastructure as code (IaC) initiatives using tools like Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.

Frontend Integration

• Collaborate with frontend developers to integrate UI components using Angular, React, or Vue into back-end services.

System Reliability & Observability

• Implement basic logging, monitoring, and alerting (e.g., CloudWatch, ELK, Prometheus/Grafana).
• Support troubleshooting efforts and participate in resolving production issues.

Required Qualifications

• 9+ years of hands-on software engineering experience.
• Proficiency in Java (Java 8+), with a strong understanding of OOP principles.
• Experience with at least one modern Java framework (Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Quarkus).
• Knowledge of REST API development and microservice architectures.
• Exposure to AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, EC2, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, or Aurora.
• Familiarity with event-driven systems (Kafka, Kinesis, Redpanda, or similar).
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Basic understanding of serverless architectures and IaC tools (Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation).
• Experience with containerization (Docker; familiarity with ECS or Kubernetes is a plus).
• Exposure to frontend frameworks such as Angular, React, or Vue.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in collaborative, distributed teams.
• Good communication skills and willingness to learn from and contribute to team

knowledge-sharing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with system design concepts such as scalability, resilience, and distributed computing.
• Experience with monitoring and observability practices in cloud environments.
• Interest in event sourcing, CQRS, or domain-driven design (DDD).
• Experience with real-time data streaming or analytics pipelines.
• Exposure to DevSecOps practices and secure coding principles.
