Job Description: Java Microservices Lead
Role Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled
Java Microservices Lead
Key Responsibilities:
Technical Leadership Lead and mentor a team of developers to design and implement microservices using
Spring Boot
and related frameworks. Establish coding standards, development best practices, and quality assurance protocols. Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions. Microservices Development
Design and develop RESTful APIs and microservices using
Spring Boot
and
Spring Cloud . Implement microservices patterns like service discovery, circuit breakers, and centralized configuration. Ensure secure APIs by leveraging
Spring Security
with OAuth2/JWT for authentication and authorization. Cloud-Native and Scalable Design
Develop stateless and horizontally scalable microservices suitable for cloud deployment. Leverage tools such as
Docker
and
Kubernetes
for containerization and orchestration. Apply performance optimization techniques like caching, connection pooling, and load balancing. Testing and Quality Assurance
Ensure robust unit, integration, and performance testing using tools like
JUnit ,
Mockito , and
Postman . Conduct code reviews to maintain high-quality standards and detect potential performance bottlenecks. Collaboration and Documentation
Work closely with architects, product owners, and cross-functional teams to align deliverables with business objectives. Document technical designs, API specifications, Kafka workflows, and architectural diagrams. Provide technical support and troubleshooting for production issues related to Kafka and microservices. Continuous Improvement
Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices in microservices and event-driven systems. Drive innovation by recommending improvements to system architecture and processes. Lead efforts to refactor and optimize legacy systems into modern microservices. Key Qualifications:
Technical Expertise
