Scrum or Kanban Methods Integrated development environment (IDE) Rapid application development (RAD) Modelling technology and languages Interface definition languages (IDL) Knowledge of customer domain and deep understanding of sub domain where problem is solved Additional Comments We?re seeking a Senior Software Engineer with at least 6-8 years of experience, familiar with the financial technology sector. The ideal candidate will have strong proficiency in Java for backend development, deep expertise in PostgreSQL for database management, and hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, RDS, and S3. A solid understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and CI/CD pipelines is essential. The role also requires excellent problem-solving skills, a commitment to clean and maintainable code, and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Experience with containerization tools like Docker or Kubernetes, frontend frameworks like React, and knowledge of security best practices in financial applications are a plus. What You?ll Do o Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade Java / Spring Boot applications, ensuring high throughput, scalability, and reliability. o Lead design and system decomposition, making strategic decisions around microservices, event-driven flows, and domain boundaries. o Optimize and manage relational databases, primarily PostgreSQL, including schema design, indexing, query tuning, and data integrity practices. o Develop, deploy, and operate cloud-native solutions using AWS (e.g. EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda) and drive infrastructure-as-code practices. o Define and enforce API contracts (RESTful / reactive APIs), versioning, and backward compatibility. o Drive CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, build & release strategies, and environment promotion workflows. o Collaborate closely with product, UX/design, QA, DevOps, and security teams to translate business requirements into robust technical solutions. o Review work from mid-level and junior engineers; lead low level design reviews collaborating with the Architecture team and promote clean code and best practices. o Ensure adherence to security, compliance, and performance standards, especially within financial domain constraints. o Continuously evaluate emerging technologies (e.g., reactive frameworks, serverless patterns, container orchestration) and advocate for incremental improvements. What We?re Looking For - o 6+ years of professional experience in Java-based backend development, including production-level coding, debugging, and support. o Strong mastery of Spring, Spring Boot, and reactive programming (e.g. RxJava ) as design patterns in modern Java systems. o Proven experience designing and operating microservices architectures, service-to-service communications, messaging, and event-driven designs. o Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL (or similar relational DBs), SQL, data modeling, performance tuning, and ORM frameworks (e.g. Hibernate/JPA). o Hands-on experience with AWS services: EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, as well as familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation). o Strong foundation in REST API design, versioning, security (OAuth, JWT, TLS), and API gateway strategies. o Experience with establishing and scaling CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or similar). o Exposure to containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) is highly desirable. o Experience in a regulated or financial domain (banking, payments, trading) is a significant plus. o Excellent problem-solving, system-thinking, and architectural judgment. o Strong communication skills, able to influence across teams and explain technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Nice-to-Have / Differentiators o Experience building reactive, event-driven systems or using message brokers. o Familiarity with frontend technologies such as React, Tailwind, Bootstrap or other JS frameworks (to understand end-to-end flows). o Prior exposure to observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk). o Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) o Security certifications or deep experience with secure coding practices in financial systems (e.g. encryption, key management, audit logging).
