- Design, develop, and maintain robust backend services using Java (8/11/17) and modern frameworks.
- Build scalable microservices using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and associated libraries.
- Contribute to and influence system architecture, API design, integration patterns and database schema decisions.
- Implement secure, high-performance backend modules with clean code and proper abstractions.
- Work with relational and NoSQL databases(MySQL/PostgreSQL,MongoDB/Cassandra) and design optimized queries.
- Build event-driven components using Kafka/RabbitMQ (or equivalent).
- Optimize services for performance, reliability and scalability.
- Conduct deep analysis and troubleshooting to identify root causes of complex production issues.
- Create and maintain unit and integration tests using JUnit, Mockito, or equivalent frameworks.
Execution Planning & Resourcing
- Break down large features into deliverable execution phases.
- Estimate effort, create roadmap-style plans and identify dependencies early.
- Provide inputs for sprint planning, capacity planning and workload distribution.
- Plan resource allocation and guide junior developers on module ownership.
