Principal Java Engineer

We are seeking an experienced and opinionated Principal Java Engineer to join our high-performing engineering team, working on low latency, high-throughput systems in the payments processing domain. This hybrid role is based in the NY and offers the opportunity to build scalable, real-time services using modern technologies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain RESTful APIs and microservices that power secure payment workflows.
  • Work with messaging standards and protocols commonly used in financial transactions.
  • Deploy, monitor, and scale applications in Red Hat OpenShift and AWS cloud environments.
  • Integrate with MongoDB and other NoSQL/SQL datastores for real-time data management.
  • Collaborate with DevOps, Product, and QA teams to ensure production-grade solutions.
  • Drive architectural changes, advocate for best practices, and provide mentorship to peers.
  • Drive performance tuning, fault tolerance, and observability improvements across services.
Required Skills & Experience
  • 10+ years of experience in Java development with a focus on performance and memory optimization.
  • Proficient in Mongo, Spring and microservice-based architecture.
  • Proven experience with low-latency, high-throughput applications (sub-millisecond response times a plus).
  • Hands-on experience deploying applications on Red Hat OpenShift and/or Kubernetes.
  • Strong cloud experience with AWS services such as ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, etc.
  • Strong communication skills and a bias toward action and opinionated design decisions.
Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.)
  • Prior experience in Payments Processing, financial services, or banking systems.
  • Exposure to container security and performance tuning on OpenShift.
  • Knowledge of payment gateways, ISO 20022, or SWIFT formats.
  • Collaborative, fast-paced, and engineering-driven culture.
  • Emphasis on engineering autonomy, architectural decision-making, and clean code
