- Build and maintain real-time and batch integrations using messaging and file-based protocols (e.g., MQ, Pub/Sub, SFTP, TCP/IP).
- Perform coding, debugging, testing, and troubleshooting across all phases of the software development lifecycle.
- Conduct requirements analysis and translate business needs into technical specifications and high-quality code.
- Develop utilities and migration tools to support data and system transitions from legacy environments.
- Lead solution design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions in partnership with architects and product teams.
- Analyze and optimize system performance, scalability, reliability, and availability while ensuring adherence to engineering and security standards.
- Document system designs, integrations, workflows, and operational procedures (runbooks).
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex technical issues; recommend sustainable long-term solutions.
- Support production systems and provide ongoing operational improvements.
What You Bring to the Table
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
- Ability to think strategically while executing tactically
- Effective communication and collaboration skills
- Proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
- Adaptability in a fast-paced, evolving technical environment
- Ownership mentality with accountability for end-to-end delivery
- Ability to mentor and influence others without direct authority
- Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in production environments
- Experience participating in full SDLC (design, development, testing, deployment, support)
- Strong understanding of system performance, scalability, and reliability concepts
What's Needed – Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience
- 6+ years of progressively complex experience in software engineering or related technical roles
- 5+ years of experience in software development using Java or similar object-oriented programming languages

What's Needed – Preferred Qualifications
- Master's degree in Computer Science or Engineering (or related field)
- Experience migrating legacy systems (e.g., AS400 or monolithic platforms) to cloud-based architectures
- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and SaaS-based solutions
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
- Experience with Java (8+), Spring Boot, relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., Postgres, Couchbase), Kafka, and Linux
