Role Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical and proactive Java Backend Developer to take ownership of our client’s core server-side applications. This role is a blend of high-stakes problem-solving and strategic feature development.

You will be the primary point of contact for diagnosing complex production issues while simultaneously driving the implementation of high-priority change requests to evolve our platform.

Key Responsibilities

1. Advanced Troubleshooting

• Lead the investigation and resolution of complex technical issues and performance bottlenecks reported by stakeholders or monitoring systems.

Feature Evolution

• Design, develop, and deploy new change requests (CRs), ensuring that new features integrate seamlessly with existing architecture.

• Guarantee that new implementations do not introduce regressions into existing workflows.

2. System Maintenance

• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for recurring incidents and implement long-term structural fixes rather than temporary “band-aid” patches.

Code Quality & Mentorship

• Conduct thorough code reviews and provide technical guidance to junior developers.

• Champion best practices in Java development across the engineering team.

3. Legacy Modernization

• Identify opportunities to refactor and modernize older codebases to improve maintainability, scalability, and security.

4. Collaboration

• Work closely with QA, Product Managers, and Frontend teams to validate requirements and ensure end-to-end functionality.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 2–3 years of professional experience in Java backend development.

• Strong proficiency in Java (Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Hibernate / JPA).

• Solid experience with relational databases and SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle).

• Practical experience with ReactJS and/or NodeJS for frontend/full-stack integration.

• Experience with RESTful API design, implementation, and integration.

• Ability to conduct root cause analysis and deliver durable solutions for complex production issues.

• Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines.

• Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently under pressure.
