Job Description:

This job is responsible for developing and delivering complex requirements to accomplish business goals. Key responsibilities of the job include ensuring that software is developed to meet functional non-functional and compliance requirements and solutions are well designed with maintainability/ease of integration and testing built-in from the outset. Job expectations include a strong knowledge of development and testing practices common to the industry and design and architectural patterns.

Looking for a handson Software Engineer with a strong Java/Spring Boot background who can operate as a systems engineer across distributed platforms and integration layers. Youll design build and operate middleware solutions (e.g. WebMethods Mule Spring Boot microservices API gateways) automate CI/CD with Bitbucket Jenkins Maven Ansible JFrog Artifactory and scale services on Kubernetes/OpenShift. Youre fluent in Linux shell scripting comfortable with Python (nice to have) and wellversed in Agile with handson Jira. Experience with Angular or React is a plus.

Responsibilities:

• Codes solutions and unit test to deliver a requirement/story per the defined acceptance criteria and compliance requirements

• Designs develops and modifies architecture components application interfaces and solution enablers while ensuring principal architecture integrity is maintained

• Mentors other software engineers and coach team on Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI-CD) practices and automating tool stack

• Executes story refinement definition of requirements and estimating work necessary to realize a story through the delivery lifecycle

• Performs spike/proof of concept as necessary to mitigate risk or implement new ideas

• Automates manual release activities

• Designs develops and maintains automated test suites (integration regression performance)

Required Qualifications:

• 812 years of software/ systems engineering experience including 5 years handson with Java and Spring Boot (microservices).

• Strong experience with middleware/integration tools: webMethods Mule and API gateway patterns.

• Proficiency with Linux shell scripting Git (Bitbucket) Jenkins Maven Ansible and JFrog Artifactory.

• Practical experience with containers and Kubernetes or OpenShift in production.

• Solid grasp of networking (TCP/IP DNS TLS) observability (logs/metrics/traces) and performance tuning.

• Proven Agile practitioner; daily user of Jira; strong communication and documentation skills.

Roles & Responsibilities

Systems Engineering & Architecture

• Design implement and operate scalable resilient platforms for Java/Spring Boot microservices and middleware integrations.

• Lead system sizing capacity planning observability (metrics logs traces) and performance tuning for highthroughput workloads.

• Define and enforce nonfunctional requirements (security reliability performance DR/BCP compliance).

Middleware & Integration

• Build and maintain integrations using webMethods Mule and API gateways (e.g. Apigee/Kong/WSO2/Layer7 as applicable).

• Modernize and decompose legacy integration patterns to RESTful and eventdriven architectures (Kafka/AMQP where relevant).

• Establish API standards (versioning error contracts security rate limits) and governance.

Backend Engineering (Java/Spring Boot)

• Develop highquality testable Spring Boot services (data access caching resilience security).

• Implement automated tests (unit/integration/contract) and quality gates.

• Optimize JVM performance GC tuning and troubleshoot memory/latency issues.

Automation CI/CD & DevOps

• Own the endtoend build and release pipeline: Bitbucket (Git) Jenkins Maven JFrog Artifactory Ansible.

• Create reusable pipelines shared libraries and deployment templates with robust promotion strategies.

• Implement artifact versioning SBOMs and supplychain controls; enforce policy via quality gates.

Containers & Platform

• Containerize services with Docker; deploy and run on Kubernetes/OpenShift using best practices (probes HPA ConfigMaps/Secrets RBAC).

• Define Helm/Kustomize manifests; manage namespaces network policies and ingress/ingressgateway configuration.

• Drive cost efficiency and rightsizing; enable autoscaling and progressive delivery (blue/green canary).

Desired Qualifications:

• Python for automation/tooling.

• Frontend familiarity with Angular or React (for fullstack collaboration or admin consoles).

• Event streaming (Kafka) messaging (RabbitMQ) and CDC/ETL experience.

• Experience with API security (OAuth2/OIDC) service mesh (Istio/Linkerd) and policy engines (OPA/Gatekeeper).

• Exposure to cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) IaC (Terraform) and GitOps (Argo CD/Flux).

• WebMethods/Mule certifications; Kubernetes/CKA/CKAD; Red Hat OpenShift certs.
