Job Description
Responsibilities
- Design and implement end-to-end features using Java Spring Boot microservices and Angular web applications
- Write clean, testable code with JUnit/Testcontainers, Jasmine/Jest, and Cypress/Playwright for end-to-end testing
- Develop and maintain REST and GraphQL APIs, data access via JPA/Hibernate, caching with Redis, and secure authentication with OAuth2/OIDC and JWT
- Author and optimize Dockerfiles with multi-stage builds and minimal bases; manage image lifecycles in registries
- Own CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitLab CI) with tests, scans, artifact versioning, and automated rollbacks
- Provision and manage environments through Infrastructure as Code and configuration-as-code tools
- Embed shift-left security practices including SAST/DAST, dependency and container image scanning, secrets management, and OWASP top-10 safeguards
- Optimize cost and efficiency by right-sizing resources, reducing image sizes and startup times, and monitoring cloud and container spend
- Build internal tooling and automation (Java/Node/Python/Bash/Go) to support development workflows, releases, and compliance checks
- Automate database migrations with Liquibase or Flyway, manage schema versioning and test data
- Collaborate with Product, Design, QA, and Security; perform code reviews, mentor engineers, and maintain documentation and runbooks
- Leverage AI-assisted coding and testing tools and use log analysis to speed delivery and support responsible root-cause analysis
