Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities:
Backend Developer Profile
Core Tech Stack
Languages & Frameworks
- Java 11–25 (LTS focus: 11, 17, 21), modern language features (records, sealed classes, pattern matching, virtual threads)
- Spring Boot 3–4 (Spring Framework 6+, native compilation awareness a plus)
- Quarkus 1–2 (CDI, Panache, native image builds)
Data & Messaging
- PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query optimization, migrations via Liquibase/Flyway)
- Kafka (producers/consumers, partitioning strategy, exactly-once semantics, schema registry/Avro or Protobuf)
- Elasticsearch (indexing strategy, query DSL, aggregations)
- Redis (caching patterns, TTL strategy, pub/sub, distributed locks)
APIs & Integration
- REST (resource design, versioning, OpenAPI/contract-first)
- gRPC (protobuf contracts, streaming)
- GraphQL (schema design, resolver performance, N+1 avoidance)
Architecture
- Microservices (service boundaries, decoupling patterns, anti-corruption layers)
- Event-driven architecture (choreography vs. orchestration, eventual consistency, outbox pattern)
- 12-factor app principles as a baseline design discipline
Platform, Containers & Delivery
- Azure DevOps (pipelines as code, release management, boards)
- Docker (writing/reading Dockerfiles, image optimization)
- Kubernetes (pods, services, ConfigMaps/Secrets, HPA, resource limits)
- Helm charts and GitOps-based deployment (ArgoCD)
Testing & Quality Gates
- JUnit 5, Mockito, Testcontainers
- Contract testing (Pact), static analysis (SonarQube/Checkstyle)
- Chaos/resilience testing awareness
Observability & Reliability
- Structured logging, distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry/Jaeger)
- Metrics, dashboards, SLO/SLI-based alerting
- Resilience patterns: circuit breakers/bulkheads (Resilience4j), rate limiting
Security
- OWASP Top 10, secure coding practices
- Secrets management (Key Vault/External Secrets Operator)
- OAuth2/OIDC, service-to-service auth, dependency vulnerability scanning (Trivy/Snyk)
Modern Engineering Practices
- Effective, critical use of AI coding assistants (code generation, review, test/doc generation) without over-trusting output
Expectations:
- Designs service boundaries and evaluates microservice vs. modular monolith trade-offs for new capabilities
- Leads event-driven design decisions: schema evolution strategy, backward/forward compatibility, dead-letter handling, idempotency
- Makes and documents architecture decisions (ADRs) with awareness of long-term maintenance cost
- Owns performance: query optimization, caching strategy (Redis), connection pool tuning, JVM tuning basics
- Designs Helm charts and GitOps-based deployment pipelines (ArgoCD); understands HPA and resource planning at scale
- Drives quality gates: static analysis (SonarQube/Checkstyle), contract testing (Pact), mutation testing where appropriate; owns test pyramid strategy for the team
- Designs for observability from day one: sets SLOs/SLIs, structured logging, distributed tracing, cost-aware alerting — not bolted on after an incident
- Applies resilience patterns proactively (circuit breakers, bulkheads, rate limiting) rather than reactively after outages
- Understands security deeply: threat modeling, dependency vulnerability management, least-privilege service accounts, zero-trust service-to-service auth
- Comfortable operating across Spring Boot and Quarkus, and can make a reasoned recommendation for which fits a given service
- Can lead incident response: root cause analysis, blameless postmortems, follow-through on remediation
- Mentors medior/junior developers through pairing and code review, not just gatekeeping
- Evaluates where AI-assisted tooling (code review, test generation, documentation) genuinely improves team velocity vs. where it introduces risk
- Balances pragmatism vs. purism — knows when "clean" should yield to "shipped," and can defend that call
Quality mindset markers
- Treats clean architecture as a tool for change, not a religion — pushes back when it's used to over-engineer
- Actively reduces coupling across the ~100-service scale, not just within their own service
- Champions quality gates and test strategy for the team, not just their own PRs
