Collaborate with architects and senior engineers on technical design and framework evolution
Partner with frontend and platform teams to integrate backend data services where applicable
Translate business and technical requirements into scalable, well structured engineering solutions
Participate in code reviews, contribute to shared standards, and mentor junior engineers
Ensure solutions align with data governance, security, and change management standards

Experience developing Java based services using frameworks such as Spring Boot
Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts and data processing architectures
Familiarity with data lake technologies, columnar storage formats such as Parquet or Iceberg, and metadata driven frameworks
Experience using Git based workflows, CI CD pipelines, and modern development practices
Exposure to cloud environments, with preference for AWS based data platforms such as S3, EMR, Lambda, or API Gateway
Experience working in regulated or enterprise environments with strong data governance requirements

Preferred Experience

Experience collaborating with UI or platform teams to integrate backend data services
Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker or Kubernetes
Exposure to additional JVM or scripting languages such as Scala or Python in a data context
Experience with developer productivity or automation tooling
