- Modernize Infrastructure: Execute complex migration patterns to transition services from legacy systems to modern cloud-native platforms.
- Data Integrity & Streaming: Manage high-volume data flows using Kafka and ensure seamless synchronization between relational (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases.
- Architectural Evolution: Participate in architectural discussions and code reviews, contributing to the roadmap for AI-driven workflows and LLM-based service patterns.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with international product and engineering squads to translate business requirements into technical solutions that impact millions of users.
Requirements
- 6+ years of Backend Engineering experience with large-scale, production-grade systems.
- Expert proficiency in Java and Spring Boot (familiarity with Gradle is a plus).
- Strong expertise in Microservices & API Design: Proven track record in building RESTful APIs and navigating distributed systems.
- Data Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Relational Databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL) and Event-Streaming (Kafka).
