Description

Key Responsibilities

Core Engineering

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance Java services supporting REST-based APIs & having good Security SME knowledge.
• Build cloud-native, horizontally scalable services deployed on GCP and/or other public cloud platforms.
• Develop and secure APIs using OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SAML-based authentication and authorization flows.
• Implement API-first designs with strong contract discipline, backward compatibility, and understandability.

Scale, Performance & Reliability

• Build and operate highly resilient systems with:
  • API latency SLA < 50ms
  • Throughput > 5,000 TPS
  • Availability ≥ 99.9%
  • Error budget < 0.1%
• Design for fault tolerance, graceful degradation, and fast recovery.
• Apply resilience patterns such as timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and rate limiting.
• Participate in production support, incident response, RCA, and continuous reliability improvement.

Cloud & Deployment

• Use CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment.
• Own build → deploy → run lifecycle, including monitoring, alerting, and capacity planning.
• Work with containerized workloads and modern deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags).

AI-Enabled Development

• Actively use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot in agentic mode) to:
  • Accelerate feature development
  • Improve code quality and test coverage
  • Assist with refactoring, documentation, and troubleshooting
• Champion responsible and effective AI usage as part of daily engineering workflows.

Collaboration

• Partner with platform, security, SRE, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Contribute to architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years Strong Java expertise with experience building production-grade services.
• 6+ years Hands-on API development experience, including RESTful services and API security.
• Cloud deployment experience on GCP and/or equivalent cloud platforms.
• 2+ Solid experience with Access Management protocols:
  • OAuth 2.0
  • OpenID Connect (OIDC)
  • SAML2.0
• Proven experience building and operating high-criticality systems with strict SLAs.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and performance optimization and resiliency.
• Experience with observability (metrics, logs, traces) and production troubleshooting
