Our team develops highly available, cloud-native microservices using Java, Micronaut, PostgreSQL, AWS, Kubernetes, and event-driven architectures powered by Amazon SQS, SNS, and EventBridge. We value engineering excellence, automation, continuous learning, and collaborative problem solving while building foundational services used across the enterprise.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Software Engineer II who enjoys building reliable backend systems, solving challenging engineering problems, and working with modern cloud-native technologies.

You'll work alongside experienced engineers to design, build, and enhance core platform services while gaining exposure to distributed systems, identity and access management, cloud infrastructure, and large-scale production environments. This role offers an excellent opportunity for engineers looking to grow their technical expertise while contributing to services that are critical to the LexisNexis platform.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, test, and maintain software components for the WAM platform.

• Develop event-driven integrations using Amazon SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.
• Collaborate with product owners, architects, and fellow engineers throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices.
• Troubleshoot production issues and improve application reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Write automated unit and integration tests.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives.
• Continuously learn new technologies and contribute ideas that improve our engineering practices.

These responsibilities align with the standard Software Engineer II expectations, including developing moderate-complexity software components, resolving technical issues, collaborating with stakeholders, and working within Agile development environments.
