For additional information, please review .* Architecture & Design
+ Define and evolve system architecture for cloud-native, microservices/event-driven platforms (scalability, resilience, security, cost).
+ Create high-level and low-level designs , integration patterns, API contracts, and reference implementations.
+ Lead design reviews; ensure alignment with domain-driven design (DDD) , 12‐factor principles, and organization standards.* Engineering Leadership
+ Lead squads through full SDLC —from discovery and PoCs to production and SRE handoff.
+ Establish coding standards , code review practices, and secure-by-default patterns.
+ Mentor and coach senior engineers; support career growth and succession of technical leaders.* Hands-on Development
+ Build core services using Java (17+) , Spring Boot , REST/GraphQL , and message/event streaming.
+ Optimize for performance, concurrency, observability , and operational excellence (SLOs, error budgets).
+ Drive quality with unit/integration/contract testing , test data strategy, and automated quality gates.* Cloud & Platform
+ Design for AWS/Azure/GCP , container orchestration ( Kubernetes ), service mesh , and CI/CD .
+ Implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) patterns and secrets management.
+ Partner with SRE/Platform teams on monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing , and cost governance.* Data & Integration
+ Architect integrations across SQL/NoSQL , caching (Redis), and event streams (Kafka/Pulsar).
+ Define data contracts , schema evolution strategies, and idempotent/eventual consistency patterns.* Security & Compliance
+ Embed AppSec best practices, OWASP controls, secure API/auth (OAuth2/OIDC), and zero trust patterns.* Stakeholder Partnership
+ Translate business needs into technical roadmaps and architecture runway .
+ Communicate trade-offs and decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.* GenAI : Knowledge of MCP, A2A, Agentic ArchitectureEnsure compliance with regulatory and audit requirements where applicable.* Proven delivery of cloud-native , microservices , and event-driven architectures.* Strong expertise in:
+ Java 11/17+, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud
+ REST/GraphQL APIs , gRPC (nice-to-have)
+ Kafka (or Pulsar), Kubernetes , Docker
+ RDBMS (PostgreSQL/MySQL/Oracle) and NoSQL (MongoDB/Cassandra/DynamoDB)
+ Caching (Redis), CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps/Jenkins), IaC (Terraform/ARM)
+ Observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK), feature flags /progressive delivery* Solid grasp of concurrency , performance tuning , resiliency patterns (circuit breakers, retries, bulkheads), and fault-tolerance .* Demonstrated leadership of architectural forums , design reviews , and mentorship .* Strong communication and stakeholder management skills. 6+ years of progressive experience building enterprise systems, with 7+ years in Java and Spring at scale.* Domain knowledge: Payments, banking, capital markets, insurance, e-commerce, supply chain, or telecom.* Security: Threat modeling, shift-left security, SAST/DAST, secrets rotation, mTLS.* Data: CDC (Debezium), schema registry , exactly-once semantics , streaming ETL.* Platform: Service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), API gateways (Kong/Apigee), Serverless (Lambda/Functions).* Modern patterns: CQRS, event sourcing, Saga orchestration, hexagonal architecture.* Bachelor’s degree/University degree or equivalent experience* Master’s degree preferred #J-18808-Ljbffr
