Skills

Experience and Skill Set Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain secure, well-tested Java services and REST APIs (Java 11+, Spring Boot). Build data-driven features using JPA/SQL; write optimized queries and support CI/CD pipelines (Git, build, test, deploy). Create and execute unit and integration tests; contribute to code reviews and follow secure coding practices. Provide L2/L3 production support: triage incidents, perform root-cause analysis, implement fixes, and prevent recurrence. Monitor and tune application performance across environments; support automated diagnostics and health checks. Collaborate with architects, QA, BAs, and product owners in Agile sprints; produce clear technical documentation. Use data analysis to identify defect/incident trends and performance issues; leverage AI-assisted development tools where appropriate.

Must-Have Qualifications

5-7 years experience with Java (Java 8+/11+), Spring/Spring Boot, REST APIs, and SQL (Oracle/MySQL/PostgreSQL). Strong Production Support & Incident Management experience, including SLA adherence, RCA, and runbook usage. Strong CI/CD fundamentals (Git branching strategies, build pipelines, automated testing with JUnit/Mockito). Excellent troubleshooting, performance tuning, and secure coding skills. Clear communication and proven ability to work collaboratively in Agile teams.

Nice to Have

Messaging and integration experience (batch jobs, schedulers). Observability experience (application monitoring, logging, metrics). Cloud/container basics (Docker, Kubernetes, Azure/AWS). Knowledge of Caram or other case management platforms.

General Skills

Experience across the full SDLC using structured methods and design patterns. Ability to gather and clarify requirements with diverse stakeholders. Hands-on experience with deployment troubleshooting, post-implementation support, and change management. Understanding of information management, data governance, and security best practices. Solid data analysis skills for querying, transforming, and interpreting trends (SQL; Power BI/Excel exposure is an asset). Exposure to AI-assisted development (e.g., GitHub Copilot), including code/test generation and prompt best practices.
