Leverage a strong understanding of core Java fundamentals, data migration strategies, and protocols like SFTP to bridge the gap between technical and non technical teams.
Act as the primary stakeholder for API-first development, manage internal/external API integrations, and collaborate with engineers on defining robust API schemas (e.g., RESTful endpoints).
Cross-Functional Leadership & Communication Serve as the central point of communication between engineering (Java developers), QA, Dev Ops, and business stakeholders.
Translate complex technical constraints (like JVM performance tuning or threading models) into clear business impacts and trade-offs.
Ensure seamless synchronization and collaboration between front-end (React.js) and back-end (Java) teams.
Quality, Performance & Governance Oversee the quality assurance process by aligning the QA team on comprehensive test coverage, including API unit and integration tests.
Ensure robust logging, monitoring (e.g., using tools like Data Dog, Prometheus, Grafana), and error-handling mechanisms are implemented.
Champion Dev Ops best practices, particularly for CI/CD pipelines in microservice or containerized (Docker) Java applications.
Plan, coordinate, and monitor application releases to ensure smooth and successful deployments.
Ensure all Java services handling user data are compliant with relevant data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
Skills and Qualifications Required: Proven experience as a Technical Project Manager or a similar role in an enterprise software environment.
