  • Create custom Kafka producers and consumers using Java and Spring Boot for reliable message processing and handling.
  • Support and enhance Kafka implementations using Confluent Cloud where applicable.
  • Implement and maintain data management solutions using MyBatis, JDBC, and SQL.
  • Deploy applications on Tomcat while ensuring high availability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Use Maven for dependency management and Docker for application containerization.
  • Support container orchestration and application scaling using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Follow test-driven development practices to improve code quality and long-term maintainability.
  • Develop CI pipelines using GitLab CI and support deployments using Helm where applicable.

Required Qualifications:

  • 3–5 years of experience in backend development with Java, Kafka, Spring WebFlux, and GraphQL.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of reactive programming concepts and their application in Spring WebFlux.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing GraphQL APIs.
  • Experience with Spring Boot 2.7 or higher and Spring Security 5.x preferred.
  • Understanding of OAuth and JWT is a plus.
  • Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
