Responsibilities- Data Model & Persistence Layer
- Design and implement new domain entities including and to support federated identity mapping.
- Refactor existing schemas (e.g.) to separate vehicle-level and profile-level concerns.
- Develop and execute database migrations including:
- Table creation column restructuring and foreign key repointing
- Index updates and performance optimizations
- Implement data backfill and reconciliation logic for existing records including consolidation of vehicle and profile relationships.
- Refactor REST APIs to support:
- Account-level vehicle-level and profile-level operations
- Updated relationships between entities (account-vehicles-profiles)
- Implement cross-cutting concerns:
- Request interceptors/filters for authentication and context resolution
- Shared request context updates (vehicleProfileId userAccountId)
- Enhance API contracts OpenAPI documentation and error handling to reflect new data model and authentication patterns.
- Integrate Firebase Authentication and implement
-token validation and claim extraction. - Transition from client-credential-based authentication (e.g. Keycloak) to federated identity model.
- Implement account-ownership authorization to enforce access control across account vehicle and profile scopes.
- Rework service logic to support:
- Vehicle enrollment and profile creation flows
- Signing key management and rotation
- Payment/card binding at profile level
- Update transaction processing logic to distinguish between:
- Profile-based signed transactions
- Vehicle-level fallback scenarios
- Implement account-level operations such as:
- Full account closure with cascading vehicle unenrollment and partial failure handling
- Work with third-party integrations including:
- Firebase (identity provider)
- Master Card SRC (card tokenization and identity binding)
- Payment middleware and BOS systems
- Ensure consistency of entity mapping across internal services and external callbacks.
- Develop and execute integration and regression test plans across:
- Updated schema and foreign key relationships
- API endpoints and authentication flows
- Update test teardown and data lifecycle logic to reflect new entity relationships.
- Strong experience in backend development (Java/Spring Boot or similar frameworks)
- Proven expertise in:
- REST API design and refactoring
- Relational database design schema migrations and indexing
- Authentication/authorization frameworks (JWT OAuth federated identity)
- Experience implementing middleware components such as interceptors filters and request contexts
- Familiarity with cloud-based identity providers (e.g. Firebase Auth OAuth providers)
- Experience with payment systems and tokenization (e.g. Master Card SRC or similar)
- Prior work on multi-tenant or hierarchical data models (account-asset-profile)
- Knowledge of event-driven integrations and callback-based third-party systems
- Experience with API gateways and distributed security validation patterns
- Strong system design and data modeling skills
- Ability to manage complex refactoring across multiple layers (DB API service)
- Attention to data integrity security and backward compatibility
- Effective collaboration across architecture QA and integration teams
- End-to-end ownership of a major platform refactor spanning:
- Data model redesign
- Authentication transformation
- API and service re-architecture
- Direct impact on enabling scalable…
