About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Java Developer with deep expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and a strong focus on API development, data scripting and analysis, automation testing, and performance optimization. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience designing, deploying, and managing cloud-based applications using GCP services, driving automation, and ensuring system reliability through robust CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions, provide production support, and contribute to continuously improving our systems and processes.

What You’ll Do

API Development and GCP Architecture

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure APIs using Java, Spring Boot, and services in Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Leverage GCP services such as Cloud Functions, Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, API Gateway, and Cloud Monitoring to architect, monitor, and optimize cloud-based applications.
• Implement best practices in API security and performance optimization to ensure high availability and reliability of services.

Data Scripting and Automation

• Write and optimize data scripts for analysis and automation tasks using languages like Python, SQL, and Shell scripting.
• Implement and enhance automated testing frameworks to ensure code quality, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.

CI/CD and DevOps Collaboration

• Collaborate with the DevOps team to maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines, ensuring fast, reliable delivery of code to production using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI.
• Ensure continuous integration and deployment of applications with seamless version control and testing automation.

Performance Optimization and Monitoring

• Conduct performance testing and optimization to maintain low-latency, high-throughput systems using tools such as JMeter.
• Build and manage effective monitoring and alerting systems using tools like Grafana or Splunk to proactively identify and resolve production issues.

Cross-functional Collaboration and Agile Participation

• Participate in Agile ceremonies (stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives) and continuously refine processes to improve delivery efficiency.
• Collaborate with product managers, QA engineers, and other developers to deliver high-quality software that meets business requirements.
• Provide production support, troubleshooting and addressing issues in real-time as part of a rotation schedule.
• Effectively communicate complex technical ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
