Java Senior Backend Developer

Summary

Build and maintain Java-based backend systems, troubleshoot production issues, and modernize legacy code while collaborating with frontend and QA teams.

Roles & Responsibilities

This role is a blend of high-stakes problem-solving and strategic feature development. You will be the primary point of contact for diagnosing complex production issues while simultaneously driving the implementation of high-priority change requests to evolve our platform.

- Advanced Troubleshooting: Lead the investigation and resolution of complex technical issues and performance bottlenecks reported by stakeholders or monitoring systems.

Feature Evolution: Design, develop, and deploy new change requests (CRs), ensuring that new features integrate seamlessly with existing architecture without introducing regressions.

- System Maintenance: Perform root cause analysis (RCA) for recurring incidents and implement long-term structural fixes rather than "band-aid" patches.

- Legacy Modernization: Identify opportunities to refactor and modernize older codebases to improve maintainability, scalability, and security.

- Collaboration: Work closely with QA, Product Managers, and Frontend teams to validate requirements and ensure end-to-end functionality.
