- Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend applications and services using Java and Spring Boot.
- Define and drive backend design principles, coding standards, and engineering best practices.
- Design and develop secure, reliable, and well-structured RESTful APIs.
- Define API contracts, request/response models, error-handling mechanisms, and versioning strategies.
- Design efficient and scalable relational and/or NoSQL database models.
- Develop and optimize database queries, indexing strategies, and data-access layers.
- Integrate backend applications with databases, third-party services, enterprise platforms, and external systems.
- Design and implement backend integration patterns for reliable data exchange across systems.
- Develop reusable backend components, libraries, and common services.
- Ensure backend systems meet requirements for performance, scalability, availability, security, and maintainability.
- Identify and resolve complex application, API, database, and integration-related issues.
- Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to software engineering and secure coding standards.
- Collaborate with frontend developers, technical leads, product owners, QA engineers, DevOps teams, and other stakeholders.
- Participate in technical design discussions, solution reviews, estimation, and implementation planning.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to backend developers.
- Drive improvements in automated testing, build processes, CI/CD, deployment, and observability practices.
