Responsibilities

Build, optimize, and maintain highly reliable, scalable, and distributed microservices from prototype to production.
Leverage automation to reduce roadblocks, streamline deployment pipelines, and achieve consistent deliverables.
Design, implement, and maintain robust, secure, and performant APIs using REST and gRPC, optimizing for both internal microservice communication and external consumption.

Strong proficiency in Java and Kotlin (experience with TypeScript for backend/serverless environments is a plus).
Hands-on experience developing within the AWS Cloud platform (e.g., EC2, Lambda, MSK, ElastiCache, DynamoDB, Secrets Manager, Parameter Store) and a strong understanding of how backend applications interact with these managed services.
Deep understanding of asynchronous programming, message queues (e.g., Kafka, SQS, NATS), and event-driven architecture.
Experience with NoSQL (DynamoDB) and caching (ElastiCache); ability to evaluate trade-offs between relational (SQL) and non-relational solutions.
