  • Provide technical expertise and guidance on selecting and using NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra) to optimize data storage and retrieval for microservices.
  • Oversee the implementation of CI/CD pipelines using tools like Teamcity or Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD to automate the build, test, and deployment process for microservices.
  • Foster collaboration across cross-functional teams (product, front-end, QA) to ensure seamless integration and delivery of microservices.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous learning within the team.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Java, Spring, Kafka, AWS cloud technologies, NoSQL databases, CI/CD tools, and Agile methodologies.
  • Identify and evaluate new technologies that could improve the microservices architecture.
  • Participate in defining the technical roadmap for the backend development team.
  • Advocate for best practices in microservices development, code quality, and maintainability.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of experience as a software engineer with a proven track record of success in architecting and leading backend development efforts.
  • In-depth expertise in Java and object-oriented programming principles.
  • Extensive experience with Spring framework (Spring Boot preferred).
  • Mastery of event-driven architecture principles and hands-on experience implementing them using Apache Kafka.
  • Proven experience working with AWS cloud services (EC2/ECS, S3, MSK, DynamoDB, Lambda preferred) to build and deploy scalable microservices infrastructure.
  • Strong understanding of NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra) and their use cases within microservices architectures.
  • Experience in implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools like Teamcity or Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD.
  • Deep understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum) and a passion for continuous improvement.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Strong leadership qualities, the ability to mentor and inspire others, and a collaborative work style.
  • A passion for learning and staying current with new technologies.
