Role: SDE (Java)

Location: Gurugram (Work From Office)

Experience: 2-5 years

Type: Full-time

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Java Backend Developer who has built and operated production-ready, scalable, distributed systems and enjoys solving backend challenges: performance, reliability, scaling, data stores, data modeling, and failure handling. This role goes beyond CRUD - expect Kafka workflows, microservices, strong engineering hygiene (including testing, observability, and clean design), and experience with architectural patterns of large, high-scale data applications.

Tech Stack

What You’ll Do

Own backend services/features end-to-end: design, implement, test, release, and operate.
Build robust Kafka producers/consumers and handle real failure scenarios (retries, rebalancing, lag).
Design APIs with backward compatibility, performance, and clear contracts.
Optimize databases (indexes, query plans, schema trade-offs) and improve service latency.
Establish quality: code reviews, tests by default (JUnit/Mockito/Integration), and engineering standards.
Strengthen observability and debugging using logs/metrics; drive RCA and preventive fixes.

Must-Have Skills

Java 17+ with strong fundamentals + applied problem-solving
Production-grade concurrency
Kafka in production, including client resilience best practices (retries/timeouts, handling rebalances)
Microservices and distributed systems exposure (trade-offs, failure modes)
Database performance tuning (SQL and/or MongoDB)
AWS working knowledge (EC2/RDS/S3/IAM/Lambda/SNS/SQS/ECS)
Docker, K8s

Nice-to-Have

gRPC, Virtual Threads, Caching Mechanism, OpenSearch, Kibana/Grafana, FluentBit, AWS Services(Lambda, SNS, SQS, ECS, EKS), MQTT, FCM, strong observability setups.

What Success Looks Like (First 90 days)

Owns services/features end-to-end and improves reliability/performance measurably
Builds/strengthens flows with a clear retry/idempotency strategy
Raises code quality through tests, PR discipline, and collaborating with teammates
Passion for learning: Our team touches the entire backend stack of Adgrid and collaborates extensively with other teams; quick learning and strong communication skills are essential.
