Key responsibilities: Backend Development Design, develop, and maintain high-performance backend services using Java Spring Boot (or similar frameworks) and Clojure. Adhere tclean code principles and industry best practices in all development efforts. Ensure code quality through pair programming, code reviews, and other collaborative development methods. Event-Driven Architecture Implement and maintain event-driven systems using message brokers (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, or cloud-native equivalents). Work on publish/subscribe patterns and streaming data pipelines tensure real-time data processing and system responsiveness. Optimise event flow for performance and scalability. Test-Driven Development (TDD) Apply TDD principles throughout the software development lifecycle tdeliver robust, maintainable solutions. Write comprehensive unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests. Ensure high test coverage and effectively diagnose, document, and fix bugs. Architecture and Design Collaborate with architects and senior engineers tdefine microservices architecture and component interaction. Partner with senior engineers, solution architects and principal engineers tshape and execute on the technical strategy for your area. Contribute tarchitectural discussions and decision-making processes, ensuring scalability, security, and maintainability of solutions. Integrate best practices for secure coding, data privacy, and compliance. Performance Optimization Monitor system performance and reliability, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions for performance tuning. Conduct profiling, load testing, and implement caching strategies tenhance system response times. Work closely with the platform engineering team toptimize CI/CD pipelines for quick and reliable deployments. Collaboration and Leadership Mentor junior engineers on best practices, coding standards, and new technologies. Collaborate with product managers as well as QA and platform engineers tdeliver features on time and with high quality. Qualifications and Experience: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. 5+ years of professional experience in software development, preferably in a modern backend environment. Strong proficiency in Java and proven, hands-on experience developing production-grade applications with Spring Boot. Expertise in designing, building, and operating event-driven microservices architectures. Proven ability tapply and advocate for Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies. Direct experience with message brokers/queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ) for inter-service communication. Solid knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases, caching layers (e.g., Redis), and RESTful API design. go to method of application »
