Design, build, and maintain backend services using Java, Spring, Spring Boot, and Kafka.
Contribute to front‑end work in Angular when needed (secondary focus).
Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
Participate in architecture discussions, system design, and modeling.
Implement strong testing practices, including unit, integration, and regression tests.
Collaborate in Agile delivery squads and contribute to DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
Support and mentor team members as part of a collaborative engineering culture.
What You Bring to the Table
7-8 years of professional development experience in backend or platform engineering.
Strong analytical skills and the ability to design complex systems.
Excellent communication skills and a team‑focused mindset.
Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
