The position involves a balanced mix of design and hands‑on coding, focused on our mission‑critical client data shared services platform. You will join a development team building resilient, configuration‑driven shared utilities and frameworks for data pipelines and message delivery. The role centers on designing, developing, and hardening these frameworks and delivering POCs to validate solution designs. It requires collaboration with other engineering teams to ensure seamless system integration.

Exposure to technologies includes Kafka, PostgreSQL, Spring Boot, GCP, and Harness.

Qualified candidates will have experience in Postgres SQL query tuning, performance optimization, data modeling, and exposure to building apps with Java/Spring Boot.
