Specialist, Java Engineer

Your Opportunity We are seeking a Software Engineer to design, build, and operate high-throughput, low-latency, mission-critical platforms. This role focuses on Java-based API development, cloud-native deployments (GCP or equivalent), modern access management protocols, and AI-assisted software development. You will own services with strict reliability, performance, and availability SLAs, operating at scale in a security-sensitive environment. What you have Key Responsibilities Core Engineering * Design, develop, and maintain high-performance Java services supporting REST-based APIs. * Build cloud-native, horizontally scalable services deployed on GCP and/or other public cloud platforms. * Develop and secure APIs using OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SAML-based authentication and authorization flows. * Implement API-first designs with strong contract discipline, backward compatibility, and understandability. Scale, Performance & Reliability * Build and operate highly resilient systems with: * API latency SLA 5,000 TPS * Availability ≥ 99.9% * Error budget < 0.1% * Design for fault tolerance, graceful degradation, and fast recovery. * Apply resilience patterns such as timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, bulkheads, and rate limiting. * Participate in production support, incident response, RCA, and continuous reliability improvement. Cloud & Deployment * Use CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deployment. * Own build → deploy → run lifecycle, including monitoring, alerting, and capacity planning. * Work with containerized workloads and modern deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags). AI-Enabled Development * Actively use AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot in agentic mode) to: * Accelerate feature development * Improve code quality and test coverage * Assist with refactoring, documentation, and troubleshooting * Champion responsible and effective AI usage as part of daily engineering workflows. Collaboration * Partner with platform, security, SRE, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions. * Contribute to architecture reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making. Required Qualifications * 4+ years Strong Java expertise with experience building production-grade services. * 2+ years Hands-on API development experience, including RESTful services and API security. * Cloud deployment experience on GCP and/or equivalent cloud platforms. * 2+ Solid experience with Access Management protocols: * OAuth 2.0 * OpenID Connect (OIDC) * SAML * Proven experience building and operating high-criticality systems with strict SLAs. * Strong understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and performance optimization and resiliency. * Experience with observability (metrics, logs, traces) and production troubleshooting.
