Required Education

Bachelors Degree

Required Skills

Strong AWS expertise – designing and operating cloud-native, highly available distributed systems

Advanced Java and/or Kotlin in production environments

Spring Boot – building microservices and REST APIs (Spring Web/MVC, dependency injection, configuration, actuator/health checks)

Microservices architecture and distributed systems patterns (service boundaries, resiliency, fault tolerance)

RESTful API design and implementation with documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)

SQL and relational databases – data modeling, query tuning, performance optimization

NoSQL / non-relational data stores (e.g., DynamoDB, MongoDB, Cassandra)

CI/CD pipelines and build/deploy automation (quality gates, repeatable releases)

Data streaming / asynchronous messaging – event-driven patterns (e.g., Kafka)

Observability – logging, metrics, tracing, and production troubleshooting / incident investigation

Soft Skills (Must-Have)

Strong technical communication skills – able to clearly explain complex designs and trade-offs to engineers, product owners, and managers

Collaborative mindset – ability to work effectively across teams on shared architectures and dependencies

Technical leadership and ownership – driving decisions and follow-through on complex engineering problems

Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking – especially in debugging, production support, and performance issues

Ability to balance technical depth with delivery – making pragmatic decisions aligned with business priorities

Comfortable participating in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives) while remaining primarily hands-on

Job Requirements

Provide deep technical leadership for the design and implementation of Java-based, cloud-native systems on AWS

Drive architectural decisions across microservices, event-driven, and asynchronous processing patterns

Ensure clear service ownership and well-defined contracts between services

Define standards for infrastructure-as-code, resiliency, fault tolerance, and graceful degradation

Proactively identify architectural bottlenecks, scalability constraints, and technical debt

Lead development of core backend services using modern Java frameworks and AWS-native patterns

Design and implement RESTful and event-based APIs

Build message-driven processing and distributed data management solutions

Guide adoption of AWS services including managed compute, messaging, storage, and databases

Investigate and resolve defects, performance issues, and production incidents

Implement fixes and improvements to ensure system stability and reliability

Support reliable operation of distributed systems in production through observability, logging, metrics, and tracing

Review pull requests and lead technical design discussions

Define architecture and implementation standards for the team

Establish technical best practices for CI/CD automation, observability, and production troubleshooting

Work closely with the engineering team to guide design and implementation of Java-based services on AWS

Collaborate with other engineering teams to align on APIs, integrations, and shared cloud architecture

Partner with Product Owners and engineering managers to translate requirements into technical solutions

Align execution with delivery priorities

Participate in architecture reviews and integration discussions

Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, and retrospectives

Attend necessary technical and operational calls
