Java architect – java/spring boot microservices

At PGC Digital (Pradeep IT Global Consulting Pvt. Ltd.), we are a People-First SAP Edge Partner with SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Service Now alliances. With HQ in Singapore and offices across India, USA, UK, UAE & Canada, we partner with global leaders like Rolls-Royce, Google, AT&T, Bosch, Nestle, IBM, Samsung, and Goodyear.About UsPGC Digital delivers multi-cloud consulting, AMS, and outcome-driven digital transformation across ERP, CRM, BTP, and next-gen AI/LLM solutions.Key ResponsibilitiesLead Architecture & Design: Define and own the overall architecture of the cloud solution, designing scalable Java/Spring Boot microservices and ensuring robust integration with SAP and other external systems.Technical Leadership: Guide engineering teams in implementing best practices for coding, architecture, and deployment. Conduct design and code reviews, mentor developers, and set technical standards to maintain high code quality and performance.Open-Source Integration: Leverage and integrate open-source technologies (e.g., Redis for caching, Cloud Foundry for deployment) to build a high-performance, resilient system. Ensure that caching, messaging, and other components are optimally used for scalability and low latency.SAP Ecosystem Integration: Architect solutions that interface with SAP BTP services and other SAP tools when needed – for example, planning how our platform could utilize SAP Event Mesh for event-driven communication or integrate data from S/4 HANA – while keeping the design modular and adaptable.Performance & Security: Make key decisions on system design to meet enterprise-grade scalability, security, and reliability requirements. Oversee performance tuning, implement security best practices (authentication, authorization, data protection), and ensure our architecture supports high availability and disaster recovery.Innovation & Roadmapping: Stay updated on emerging technologies and evaluate their fit for the solution. Work closely with product management to align the technical roadmap with business goals, proposing innovative solutions (e.g., incorporating AI/ML or new cloud services) to keep the product at the forefront of the industry.Mandatory QualificationsExtensive Java Expertise: 8+ years of software development experience with deep proficiency in Java programming. Proven track record in building enterprise-scale applications.Microservices & Spring Boot: 3+ years of hands-on architectural design using Spring Boot and microservices patterns. Ability to design RESTful APIs and distributed systems that are modular and maintainable.Cloud Deployment Experience: Strong experience deploying and running applications on cloud platforms, especially Cloud Foundry (or similar Paa S environments). Comfortable designing cloud-native applications and working with cloud infrastructure constraints and features.Caching & Performance: In-depth knowledge of caching mechanisms and tools; experience using Redis (or similar caching technology) to optimize performance and scalability in a production environment.Systems Integration: Solid understanding of integration patterns and middleware. Ability to design solutions that integrate with external systems and APIs (e.g., SAP or third-party services) while maintaining data consistency and integrity.Leadership & Communication: Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams and mentor engineers. Excellent communication skills to articulate architectural decisions and collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Dev Ops, etc.).Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field. (Master’s degree or relevant certifications are a plus.)Preferred QualificationsSAP BTP Familiarity: Experience with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) services or environment (Cloud Foundry runtime on BTP, SAP Launchpad, etc.) is a strong plus.CAP Knowledge: Familiarity with SAP’s Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) for developing cloud applications (in Java or Node.js) is highly preferred.Event-Driven Architecture: Experience with message brokers or event-driven systems. Knowledge of SAP Event Mesh or similar messaging technologies (Kafka, Rabbit MQ) for decoupled architectures is an advantage.SAP Ecosystem Understanding: Knowledge of SAP enterprise systems and protocols – for example, understanding what S/4 HANA or SAP ERP (ECC) are and how external applications might integrate with them. Prior experience integrating with SAP or building enterprise software for manufacturing/cost management domains is a plus.Architectural Certifications: Any architecture-related certifications (e.g., Oracle/Sun Certified Enterprise Architect, TOGAF, or SAP Certified Development Architect) or demonstrated contributions to open-source projects will be considered a bonus.
