We are seeking a Full-Stack Senior Java Engineer to architect, design, and build scalable, secure, high-performance applications across both the back end and front-end using Java, Spring Boot, and React. You'll work in a cross-functional team to deliver resilient microservices, build responsive user interfaces, optimize Oracle database performance, and strengthen engineering excellence through code reviews, mentorship, and automation.

• Architect, design, and develop scalable, secure, high-performance full-stack applications using Java, Spring Boot, and React.
• Build and maintain microservices-based systems with a strong focus on reliability, resilience, and observability.
• Design, build, and operate event-driven microservices, including service decomposition, inter-service communication, API contracts, and fault-tolerance patterns (circuit breakers, retries, idempotency).
• Develop and manage asynchronous, event-streaming pipelines using Kafka, including topic design, partitioning, consumer groups, and exactly-once/at-least-once delivery semantics.
• Deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications on Kubernetes, including deployments, auto-scaling, and service discovery.
• Build and run cloud-native workloads on AWS, leveraging services such as EKS, EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, and Cloud Watch.
• Design and optimize Oracle database schemas, SQL queries, and PL/SQL stored procedures; perform performance tuning.
• Collaborate with Product, QA, Dev Ops, and UX partners to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Participate in code reviews, mentor junior developers, and promote engineering best practices and coding standards.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive continuous improvements to system performance and stability. Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and automation to streamline development, testing, and deployment.

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in full-stack Java development.
• Expert-level proficiency in Java.
• Strong experience with Spring Boot and the broader Spring ecosystem.
• Deep understanding of microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, and distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience designing and building event-driven microservices and distributed messaging with Kafka.
• Experience deploying and operating applications on Kubernetes and AWS in production environments.
• Strong Oracle expertise: SQL, PL/SQL, schema design, and performance tuning.
• Solid foundation in software engineering principles, design patterns, and best practices.
• Experience with Git and CI/CD tools and workflows.

• Experience in the healthcare payments domain (e.g., claims/payment processing, EDI/835/837, remittance, prior authorization, payer-provider integrations) is a strong plus.
• Knowledge in how Al/ML systems work.
• Proficiency in Python.
