Take full ownership of the development lifecycle for key features, from architectural design and technical specifications through to implementation and deployment in a high-impact, agile environment.

• Mentor and Elevate the Team:

Advise and mentor team members on best practices in software design, containerization, and modern development workflows, fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Qualifications:

• 6-10 years of hands-on experience in software development, with a proven track record in building and designing robust backend systems.
• Experience with Java / Spring Boot framework or with modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular) is essential.
• Strong experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, Open Shift) and building cloud-native applications.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical projects or acting as a tech lead for a development team.
• A keen interest in or experience with leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and code quality.
