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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.
