Java Software Engineer - GCP

Overview

We are looking for a Java Backend Developer who thrives on building scalable, high-performance systems that power large-scale applications. You will own the development and delivery of backend services, RESTful APIs, and event-driven architectures, working closely with product managers, architects, and cross-functional engineering teams to translate complex business requirements into elegant technical solutions.

The ideal candidate brings deep Java expertise, strong experience with cloud-native architectures on GCP
, hands-on exposure to Big Query and data-driven systems
, and a forward-looking mindset toward leveraging AI-powered developer tools to accelerate delivery and improve code quality.

• Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable backend services and RESTful APIs using Java 8+
• Build and evolve microservices-based architectures using Spring Boot, ensuring high cohesion and loose coupling
• Implement asynchronous and event-driven services using reactive programming models (Completable Future, Project Reactor, or Vert.x)
• Apply domain-driven design (DDD) and SOLID principles to deliver maintainable, production-ready code
• Design and implement data models and integrations with relational databases (MySQL, Postgre
  
  SQL), No
  
  SQL stores, and Big Query for analytical workloads
• Build and integrate backend services with GCP data platforms and pipelines
• Leverage Spring Data JPA and Hibernate for efficient data access patterns
• Integrate with internal systems, third-party services, messaging platforms (Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ), and external APIs
• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests and maintain high code coverage
• Utilize AI coding assistants (e.g., Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini) to improve productivity and code quality
• Apply prompt engineering techniques for debugging, documentation, and test generation
• Work in Agile/Scrum environments with iterative delivery cycles and continuous improvement

• 5+ years of backend development experience with Java as the primary language
• Strong proficiency in Java 8+ features (Streams, Lambda, Optional, Concurrency utilities)
• Solid understanding of Java memory model and garbage collection
• Deep expertise in Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security (OAuth2/JWT), and Spring Cloud
• Strong knowledge of dependency injection, AOP, and auto-configuration
• Experience with Hibernate and Spring Data JPA (entity lifecycle, performance tuning, query optimization)
• Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and event-driven architectures (Kafka, Rabbit
  
  MQ)
• Proven experience building and operating microservices at scale
• Hands-on experience with relational and No
  
  SQL databases
• Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services such as Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Storage
• Hands-on experience with Big Query
  , including data modeling, querying, and integration with backend services
• Experience working with data pipelines or streaming frameworks (e.g., Dataflow, Dataproc, or similar)
• Experience with unit testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockito, Assert
  
  J)
• Experience using AI coding assistants and ability to validate/refine AI-generated code
• Familiarity with prompt engineering for software development tasks
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes basics
• Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Git Hub Actions, or similar)
• Experience implementing secure authentication and authorization using Spring Security
