Senior Java Developer - Assistant Vice President

Architecture & Design

Define and evolve system architecture for cloud-native, microservices/event-driven platforms (scalability, resilience, security, cost).

Create high-level and low-level designs
, integration patterns, API contracts, and reference implementations.

Lead design reviews; ensure alignment with domain-driven design (DDD),
12‑factor principles, and organization standards.

Engineering Leadership

Lead squads through full SDLC
—from discovery and PoCs to production and SRE handoff.

Establish coding standards
, code review practices, and secure-by-default patterns.

Mentor and coach senior engineers; support career growth and succession of technical leaders.

Hands-on Development

Build core services using Java (17+),
Spring Boot
, REST/GraphQL
, and message/event streaming.

Optimize for performance, concurrency, observability
, and operational excellence (SLOs, error budgets).

Drive quality with unit/integration/contract testing
, test data strategy, and automated quality gates.

Cloud & Platform

Design for AWS/Azure/GCP
, container orchestration (
Kubernetes
),
service mesh
, and CI/CD
.

Implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) patterns and secrets management.

Partner with SRE/Platform teams on monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing
, and cost governance.

Data & Integration

Architect integrations across SQL/No

SQL
, caching (Redis), and event streams (Kafka/Pulsar).

Define data contracts
, schema evolution strategies, and idempotent/eventual consistency patterns.

Security & Compliance

Embed App Sec best practices,
OWASP controls, secure API/auth (OAuth2/OIDC), and zero trust patterns.

Ensure compliance with regulatory and audit requirements where applicable.

Stakeholder Partnership

Translate business needs into technical roadmaps and architecture runway
.

Communicate trade-offs and decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
