Senior API Developer

Syntricate Technologies

Senior API Developer

Buffalo, NY (Hybrid 3 days onsite/2 days remote)

12+ Months

Web Cam Interview

$70-$80/Hr on W2


I am looking for a Senior API Developer with the below expertise. This needs to be a very senior role, expectations are hands on as well as a leadership role.



Tech Stack:
  • Jave/SpringBoot
  • Rest API
  • OpenShift
  • ELK
  • GitLab


System Architecture & Technical Design
  • Own and define the overall architecture of the application.
  • Choose technology stack components: database, messaging, caching, API gateway, security framework, etc.
  • Design APIs (RESTful, possibly GraphQL) with scalability, consistency, and security in mind.
  • Create architectural decision records (ADRs) to document and justify key technical decisions.
Hands-on Development
  • Write high-quality, production-grade code using Java + Spring Boot.
  • Set up and structure the initial codebase using best practices (layered architecture, DTOs, config management).
  • Build CI/CD-friendly microservices or modular monoliths depending on architecture choice.
  • Lead the development of MVP components, defining reusable patterns and common services.
DevOps & Deployment Strategy
  • Work closely with DevOps to define a deployment pipeline (Docker + Jenkins/GitHub Actions + Helm/Kubernetes preferred).
  • Own environment configurations (dev, QA, staging, prod) and secrets management.
  • Ensure proper logging, health checks, metrics, and monitoring are integrated from the start (e.g., Prometheus + Grafana, ELK stack).
Team Leadership & Collaboration
  • Establish coding standards, code review practices, and version control strategies (e.g., GitFlow).
  • Mentor junior engineers and support onboarding of future team members.
  • Collaborate with Product Owners, UX, and QA to refine requirements and deliver high-quality features.
  • Act as the technical face of the team in architecture discussions, demos, and stakeholder meetings.
Security & Compliance
  • Define and implement authentication (OAuth2, JWT, or enterprise SSO).
  • Ensure data security, secure endpoints, and follow secure coding practices.
  • Be proactive in identifying security vulnerabilities and remediating them (OWASP awareness is expected).
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer

Maintain living documentation including:
  • API specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger)
  • Architecture diagrams and integration maps
  • Deployment and runbooks
  • Facilitate knowledge transfer to new team members and support operational readiness.
Initial Deliverables (First 60-90 Days)
  • Technology stack recommendation finalized and documented.
  • Application architecture (incl. service boundaries, database models, integration points).
  • CI/CD pipeline defined and integrated for basic services.
  • MVP-level Spring Boot microservices scaffolding completed and deployed to dev/test.
  • Setup of unit tests, integration tests, and static code analysis tools.
  • Knowledge base started (Confluence, Git repo docs,)


Please provide responses for ALL of the questions below to confirm you have ALL of the required skills/experience (please reply ASAP as submittals to our client are time sensitive):
  • Are you currently under contract w/ an employer where you require C2C only?
  • If hired, can you work as a W2 employee of our company, Globalquest, for the contract duration ( required, no exceptions )?
  • Do you reside in or near the Buffalo, NY area, or open to relocation out of pocket to be onsite from day 1 in a hybrid role ( 3 days onsite/2 days remote - mandatory, no exceptions )?
  • If relocating, are you able to relocate within 2 weeks' of offer acceptance?
