Senior Java Backend Engineer (Ernakulam)

We are looking for a visionary Senior Java Developer to spearhead the development of high-throughput, cloud-native backend systems. In this role, you will go beyond straightforward coding to architect resilient microservices, design event-driven data pipelines using Kafka, and implement advanced caching strategies to ensure sub-second latency for millions of users. You will serve as a technical leader, bridging the gap between business requirements and scalable technical execution.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1. System Architecture & Development
* Microservices Mastery: Design and implement loosely coupled, scalable microservices using Java 17/21 and Spring Boot 3.x.
* Event-Driven Design: Architect real-time data streaming solutions using Apache Kafka, focusing on producers, consumers, and KStream applications for eventual consistency.
* API Excellence: Develop secure, high-performance RESTful and GraphQL APIs with advanced documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI) and security (OAuth2/JWT). 2. Cloud & Infrastructure Strategy
- Cloud-Native Migration: Lead the transition of legacy monolithic systems to cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or GCP using serverless (Lambda/Functions) and containerized services.
- Orchestration & Scale: Manage containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/GKE) to ensure high availability and auto-scaling.

3. Data Persistence & Performance Tuning
- Polyglot Persistence: Manage complex data models across relational (PostgreSQL, Oracle) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra) databases.
- Distributed Caching: Implement multi-level caching strategies using Redis or Memcached to optimize hot-path data retrieval and reduce database load.
- Query Optimization: Fine-tune complex SQL, JPA/Hibernate mappings, and database indexes for peak performance.

4. Leadership & Engineering Excellence
- Mentorship: Lead code reviews and technical grooming sessions to foster a culture of quality and professional growth within the engineering team.
- DevOps Integration: Drive CI/C Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.in/job/4mow2l
