What is in it for you?
As an FDE(Forward Deployed Engineer), you’ll build end‑to‑end solutions—from backend microservices to modern UIs—deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You’ll embed with client stakeholders, translate business needs into technical designs, and deliver secure, scalable software. The work spans design, development, testing (QA), DevOps, and production deployments (E2E). Healthcare domain familiarity (clinical data, medications, orders, labs, revenue cycle) is a plus.
Responsibilities: -
- Design, develop, test, and deploy Java-based microservices using Spring Boot on GCP
- Build scalable backend services with Python and Java in a microservices architecture
- Implement messaging/streaming integrations using Kafka and GCP Pub/Sub; design for at‑least‑once/exactly‑once semantics and back‑pressure.
- Deploy and manage applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) with strong CI/CD practices.
- Model and optimize data access on Cloud Spanner; contribute to schema design, transaction strategies, and performance tuning.
- Own E2E quality: unit, integration, contract, and performance testing; drive high code coverage and automated quality gates.
- Collaborate across architecture, data modeling, security, and product teams; demo features, capture feedback, and iterate quickly.
- Document LLD/sequence diagrams, and contribute to coding standards, architecture guidelines, and re‑usable libraries.
- Support production (SRE/DevOps mindset): monitoring, incident response, and RCA.
Experience: -
- 5+ Years
Location: -

- GCP hands‑on: GCS Buckets, Kubernetes (GKE), infrastructure and services usage in production.
- Cloud Spanner experience (or strong NoSQL exposure with Cassandra/Couchbase and proven ability to ramp).
- Microservices design & implementation at enterprise scale.
- Experience in building backend services and APIs using Python and/or Java
- Strong testing discipline: JUnit5, Spring test (unit/integration), isolated layer testing, Hamcrest/AssertJ; mocking & debugging.
