Need to be local to Plano - onsite position

About the Role
Were looking for a hands-on Senior Software Developer with deep experience building scalable cloud-native applications. Youll design build and optimize services and UIs using Java 21 Python 3.X Angular 21 and AWS 2.0 with a strong emphasis on RDS (PostgreSQL/Aurora). Youll collaborate closely with product architecture DevOps and QA to deliver high-quality features in an agile environment. Experience with GenAI (Bedrock Claude Sonnet) and graph technologies (Amazon Neptune/Graph APIs) is a strong plus.

What Youll Do

• Design & Develop: Build microservices and APIs in Java (preferably with AWS SDK v2) and supporting services in Python.
• Front-End Engineering: Develop performant accessible front-end features using Angular (Angular SDK/CLI) and modern TypeScript patterns.
• Cloud Architecture: Design and optimize cloud-native workloads on AWS (ECS/EKS/Lambda API Gateway SQS/SNS IAM CloudWatch).
• Data & Storage: Model tune and operate relational workloads on Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL/Aurora); implement robust migration strategies and performance monitoring.
• Quality Engineering: Champion automated testing (unit integration contract end to end); familiarity with Karate framework is a plus.
• Security & Compliance: Apply secure coding practices secrets management least privilege IAM and encryption in transit/at rest.
• Performance & Reliability: Optimize latency throughput and cost; implement observability (metrics/tracing/logging) and resilience patterns (circuit breakers retries backoff).
• GenAI & Graph (Nice to Have): Prototype solutions using Amazon Bedrock (e.g. Claude Sonnet) evaluate prompt/response pipelines and model relationships with Amazon Neptune or Graph APIs.
• Agile Collaboration: Work closely with product owners and stakeholders; break down epics estimate work review code and mentor engineers.

• Strong experience with RDS (PostgreSQL/Aurora)-schema design query optimization indexing replication and operational best practices.
• Solid front-end experience with Angular (RxJS state management Angular CLI unit/e2e testing). ADK 21 preferred
• Strong grasp of RESTful APIs event-driven architectures and microservices patterns.
• Hands-on with automated testing frameworks and practices (JUnit/Testcontainers/pytest; API testing).
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker ECS/EKS).
• Excellent problem-solving communication and code review skills.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with GenAI on Amazon Bedrock (model selection prompt engineering guardrails evaluation) and Claude Sonnet.
• Graph experience with Amazon Neptune and Graph APIs (Gremlin/SPARQL).
• Prior experience in mortgage/secondary market domains; Fannie Mae project background is a plus.
• Karate test automation framework for API and E2E testing.
• GitLab experience (CI/CD pipelines runners branching strategies).
• Terraform for infrastructure-as-code particularly with AWS resources.
• Knowledge of security frameworks (OAuth2/OIDC JWT) and data governance/regulatory compliance.
• Observability stack: OpenTelemetry CloudWatch Datadog or similar.

Education

• Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science Engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
