Java Software Engineer

Role: Java ArchitectExperience: 8-15 yearsLocation: Chennai (Nungambakkam) - WFOSkills: Architect, Java, Spring boot, Spring Security, CI/CD,Domain: FINTECH (MANDATORY)
JD:Key Responsibilities:1. 2. 3. Architecture & Product Design • Own end-to-end architecture for high-throughput, low-latency services and user-facing apps; define APIs, data models, caching, partitioning/sharding, and event flows. • Translate product requirements into architectural roadmaps and component designs (domain-driven design, microservices, API-first). • Drive “secure-by-default” patterns (Zero-Trust, principle of least privilege) and privacy-first data design. Full-Stack Engineering (Java-First) • Build backend services in Java/Spring Boot; design REST/gRPC APIs, asynchronous pipelines, and distributed workflows. • Contribute to front-end (React/Next or similar) and shared libraries; ensure cohesive UX with strong performance budgets and accessibility. • Implement CI/CD pipelines and DevEx improvements (build speed, quality gates, developer tooling). High-Frequency Transaction Systems • Design for throughput, concurrency, and fault-tolerance (bulkheads, circuit breakers, idempotency, retry/backoff, message ordering). • Performance tune JVM, thread pools, GC, connection pools; establish SLOs and p95/p99 latency targets. • Introduce event streaming, queues, and exactly-once/at-least-once semantics where applicable. 4. 5. 6. Security & Compliance • Champion IAM/CIAM/IGA patterns (OAuth2/OIDC, SAML), secrets management, KMS, and robust RBAC/ABAC. • Partner with Security to embed threat modelling, secure coding, and automated security testing in the SDLC. Reliability & Observability • Define SLO/SLI/SLA, golden signals, and error budgets; implement tracing/metrics/logging dashboards (ELK/Grafana/OpenTelemetry). • Lead incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and resilience tests (chaos, failover, DR). Leadership & Collaboration • Mentor senior engineers; review designs/PRs; raise engineering bar via patterns, documentation, and standards. • Collaborate with Product on discovery, scoping, and MVP slicing; influence build-vs-buy and cost/perf trade-offs.
Qualifications & experience:
• 10+ years in software engineering with strong Java and Spring depth; proven full-stack delivery.• Experience in designing/developing high availability and high scalability systems preferably on cloud.• Experience in design heavy transaction management systems with both db and streaming services like Kafka and other cloud event hubs• Experience in designing and executing DR planning and recovery.• Experience in Blue/Green deployments and canary deployments is an added advantage.• Demonstrated ownership designing high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems in production (≥ millions of requests/events/day).• Hands-on experience with microservices, API-first architectures, caching strategies, and transaction integrity (idempotency, dedup).• Solid grasp of cloud-native design (AWS preferred), containers/K8s, CI/CD, and infrastructure reliability. • Strong understanding of security for web and APIs (authentication, authorization, secrets, data protection).• Excellent system design skills and ability to influence architecture across teams.• Background in BFSI, payments, or cybersecurity platforms preferred
