- Collaborate with client engineering teams to support integrations involving Micronaut-based backend services and enterprise middleware platforms.
- Contribute to CI/CD processes, deployment activities, and operational best practices within an Azure-hosted environment.
- Participate in on-call support rotations and assist with incident response and root cause analysis as needed.
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following established engineering standards and best practices.
- Conduct code reviews and provide technical mentorship to other developers on the team.
- Collaborate with client engineering teams to support integrations involving custom middleware platforms and backend services.
- Stay informed on emerging backend engineering trends, security practices, and API development standards.

- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on Java backend development.
- Experience developing and maintaining RESTful APIs in enterprise or production environments.
- Experience working with cloud-hosted applications, preferably within Microsoft Azure environments.
- Sound understanding of backend application architecture, API security, authentication, and integration patterns.
- Experience troubleshooting and supporting distributed applications in production environments.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, source control systems, and modern software delivery practices.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams in Agile or iterative development environments.
- Experience working with the Micronaut framework or similar modern Java frameworks such as Spring Boot.
- Must be comfortable working in environments where the use of AI-assisted coding tools may be restricted due to client security or compliance requirements.
- Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
