Reporting to the Director , the Senior Software Enginner d esigns, develops, analyzes, and maintains high-quality software product applications. This position is located in Pune .
We’re looking for a hands‑on, expert‑level Java engineer to build and evolve cloud‑native microservices that power mission‑critical platforms. You will work closely with Solution & Technical Architects, Developer Leads, and partner teams to design, implement, and ship resilient services at scale.
This is a code‑first leadership role : you will own complex services end‑to‑end, raise engineering quality bars, and mentor others on modern distributed systems practices.
Design and implement microservices in Java (preferably Spring Boot / Spring Cloud ) with clean architecture, domain‑driven design (DDD) , and well‑bounded contexts.
Model APIs and events using OpenAPI/Swagger and AsyncAPI ; define idempotent, versioned contracts and backward‑compatible schema evolution.
Build event‑driven flows using Kafka/Pulsar (streams, outbox, replay, exactly‑once/at‑least‑once semantics) and transactional messaging patterns.

Write high‑quality Java code with strong unit, contract, integration, and performance tests (JUnit, AssertJ, Testcontainers, WireMock, Gatling, JMH).
Ensure observability by design : distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), structured logging (JSON), metrics (Micrometer/Prometheus), health checks, and golden signals.
Champion secure coding (OWASP Top 10, secrets management, OAuth2/OIDC/JWT), data governance (PII masking, encryption at rest/in transit), and SAST/DAST gate compliance.
Containerize services ( Docker ) and deploy to Kubernetes (Helm/Kustomize); optimize resources (HPA, liveness/readiness probes) and implement blue/green and canary rollouts.
Automate CI/CD (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps / Jenkins) using trunk‑based development , feature flags, and progressive delivery.
Partner with Architects on non‑functional requirements (latency, throughput, availability, cost), perform load and chaos testing , and drive SLO/SLA adherence .
Work effectively with existing relational database constructs such as stored procedures, functions, sequences, triggers, and batch jobs .
Assess legacy database‑centric or monolithic designs and drive migration to modern, microservices‑based architectures .
Refactor or redesign stored‑procedure‑heavy logic into service‑based, domain‑aligned implementations , ensuring data consistency, performance, and backward compatibility.
Define data migration and co‑existence strategies (dual‑writes, strangler pattern, phased decommissioning) during modernization initiatives.
Work with Solution and Technical Architects during discovery and grooming; refine requirements into executable designs.
Collaborate with vendor teams (e.g., Cybage) by reviewing designs and PRs, enforcing standards, and providing clear, constructive feedback.
Mentor engineers on microservices design, concurrency, performance tuning, observability, testing discipline, and modernization best practices .
Knowledge of CQRS/Event Sourcing , workflow orchestration (Temporal/Cadence), or Debezium/CDC .
Data stores: Postgres/MySQL, Redis, MongoDB/Cosmos/DocumentDB, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch.
API gateways and service mesh capabilities (rate limiting, circuit breaking, authN/authZ).
Prior experience with platform engineering , internal developer platforms , or Backstage .
