Application Developer III

Our client, is seeking a high-performing Application Developer IV (Senior Backend Lead) to join their core technology engineering group. In this mission‑critical backend role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and supporting scalable, resilient, and secure microservices that power complex mortgage and lending workflows. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in Java Spring Boot, microservices architecture, and modern Camunda 8 workflow orchestration (BPMN modeling, connectors, and workers).

Operating within an Agile product team, you will build secure, API‑first services, implement cloud‑native deployments on Microsoft Azure (AKS, Helm, APIM), and enforce robust Dev Sec Ops  practices to deliver high‑concurrency, low‑latency financial systems.

Duration:
Contract (09/21/2026 to 12/31/2026, with potential for extension).

Advantages

High-Impact Mission-Critical Scope:
Direct the architectural implementation and backend execution for core enterprise mortgage and lending systems.

Modern Orchestration Sandbox:
Build production‑grade API orchestration flows utilizing cutting‑edge Camunda 8 workflow engines deployed on Kubernetes.

Cloud‑Native Engineering:
Implement containerized microservices across Microsoft Azure infrastructure (APIM, Key Vault, AKS, Managed Identities).

Agile Collaborative Culture:
Work alongside skilled software architects, QA engineers, product owners, and technical business analysts in a modern Dev Sec Ops  environment.

Responsibilities

Backend & Camunda 8 Workflow Orchestration:

Workflow Design & Engineering:
Design and deploy resilient backend microservices for end‑to‑end mortgage and lending workflows using Java Spring Boot and cloud‑native design patterns.

Camunda 8 Implementation:
Architect, maintain, and optimize workflow orchestration solutions using Camunda 8, including BPMN process models, custom connectors, and scalable task workers.

Fault Tolerance & Resilience:
Implement distributed systems resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries, timeouts, fallback handlers) to guarantee operational stability.

API, Cloud Platform & Dev Sec Ops  Engineering:

API‑First Development:
Design and build secure RESTful APIs adhering to OpenAPI specifications, securing endpoints with OAuth, identity management, and fine‑grained access controls.

Containerization & Deployment:
Deploy, package, and maintain containerized microservices on Kubernetes (AKS) using Helm charts and infrastructure‑aware configurations.

Observability & Dev Sec Ops :
Integrate telemetry, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing using New Relic and the ELK Stack. Drive automated CI/CD pipelines, TDD/BDD practices, and security scanning (SAST/SCA).
