Description:

Agree Ya is a global Systems Integrator and is seeking an experienced Senior Java Developer (AI-Augmented Engineering) to join our growing team. Overview:

We are seeking a forward-thinking, highly skilled Senior Java Developer with 5 to 7 years of experience to join our engineering  this role, you will not only design, build, and maintain robust, scalable enterprise applications, but you will also champion the next generation of software development by deeply integrating AI collaboration tools into your daily workflow.

The ideal candidate is an expert in the Java ecosystem who treats AI assistants, such as Git Hub Copilot, Claude, and Gemini as force multipliers.

You should possess strong prompt engineering skills, enabling you to accelerate development velocity, optimize code quality, automate testing, and solve complex architectural challenges efficiently.

Key Responsibilities Core Java Development:
Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable, and secure microservices and enterprise applications using modern Java versions (Java 17/21) and the Spring Boot framework.

AI-Assisted Engineering:
Seamlessly integrate AI coding assistants (Git Hub Copilot, Claude, Gemini) into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to write clean code, refactor legacy systems, and generate documentation.

Advanced Prompt Engineering:
Formulate, test, and refine advanced prompts (system-level, few-shot, and chained prompting) to extract high-context, syntactically correct, and secure code outputs from Large Language Models (LLMs).Code Quality & Review:
Oversee the review of both human-written and AI-generated code, ensuring adherence to design patterns, security standards, performance benchmarks, and company best practices.

Testing & Automation:
Utilize AI tools to rapidly generate robust unit, integration, and regression test suites (using JUnit, Mockito, etc.), significantly improving code coverage.

Troubleshooting & Optimization:
Leverage LLMs to expedite root-cause analysis of production bugs, decipher complex stack traces, and identify performance bottlenecks.

Continuous Learning:
Stay at the forefront of evolving AI technologies and software engineering trends, sharing insights and prompt libraries with the broader development team.  Required

Skills & Qualifications Technical Architecture & Java Ecosystem:

Experience:

5– 7 years of professional experience in enterprise software development using Java (Java 11 or higher, Java 17+ preferred).Frameworks:
Extensive hands-on experience with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Hibernate/JPA.Microservices:
Strong understanding of microservices architecture, RESTful API design, and event-driven patterns.

Databases:
Proficiency with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and No
