RESPONSIBILITIES
- Drive backend development initiatives using Java 21, Spring Boot 3, and PostgreSQL in production environments
- Work for transition systems from monolith architectures to microservices
- Implement and maintain observability as a primary concern, applying tools like OpenTelemetry, Datadog, and Grafana or equivalent
- Leverage AI throughout all stages of the software development lifecycle (design, architecture, coding, review, and testing) to enhance velocity and quality
- Proactively surface blockers, risks, and trade-offs, ensuring transparent communication with technical and business stakeholders
- Participate in continuous improvement of processes, embracing ambiguity, adaptability, and direct feedback within a collaborative agile environment
- Document and present technical decisions, ensuring alignment with business and customer outcomes
- Complete required screening and documentation for all project and organizational processes
REQUIREMENTS
- Demonstrated 6+ years of professional Java development experience, including hands-on production experience with Java 21 and Spring Boot 3
- Strong expertise in PostgreSQL, Streaming & Cloud asynchronous message busses, AWS, and GitHub Actions
- Proven experience in decomposing monolithic systems to microservices, with ability to articulate architectural decisions and operational trade-offs
- Strong expertise in clean architecture and scalable system design (horizontal and vertical), with portfolio evidence of shipped systems
- Experience with observability-first engineering, including structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics, and alerting (e.g. OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Grafana), with the ability to use observability data to diagnose production issues
- Track record of leveraging AI tooling (e.g., for code generation, review, test writing, architecture ideation) as a core development practice
- Fluent and effective communication, ability to explain complex concepts to technical and non-technical audiences, provide and receive direct feedback
- Demonstrated 'agile builder' mentality: delivery-focused, adaptive, and improvement-oriented
- Strong understanding of why behind requirements and design, connecting engineering execution to broader business and customer value
- Experience in building or contributing to AI agent systems (e.g., LangGraph, tool use, multi-agent orchestration)
- Prior exposure to logistics, supply chain, or warehouse management system domains
