Responsibilities
- Design and implement the microservices foundation that will transform how we build and ship software.
- Apply the right patterns at the right time, whether that's designing domain-driven aggregates, implementing sagas for distributed consistency, or establishing a unified API Gateway layer to manage routing, security, API composition, and cross-cutting concerns.
- Lead by example: creating robust, secure Spring Boot services and helping teams adopt resilience and integration patterns (circuit breakers, transactional outbox, messaging) as second nature.
- Shape foundational architectural decisions, decomposition strategies, service boundaries, messaging infrastructure, and the patterns that ensure data consistency across domains.
- Apply refactoring patterns like strangler and anti-corruption layer to safely evolve legacy systems without disruption.
- Contribute to a platform where quality, security, and speed reinforce each other, creating lasting impact for users and the business.
Requirements
- Solid experience with Java and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Spring Data, Spring Security) in production environments.
- Hands-on experience designing and building microservices, with practical knowledge of patterns like Saga, CQRS, Transactional Outbox, and API Gateway.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems challenges—data consistency, service communication, resilience, and fault tolerance.
- Experience with messaging systems (e.g., Kafka) and event-driven architectures.
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to communicate architectural decisions clearly, whether through diagrams, documentation, or conversations with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- A track record of mentoring or guiding other engineers—you don't just write great code, you help others do the same.
