• Develop scalable web applications, REST APIs, Spring Batch jobs, and integration services.

• Build well-defined API contracts and implement synchronous REST and asynchronous messaging patterns.

• Develop and optimize Spring Batch jobs for high-volume processing and scheduled workflows.

• Implement data access using Hibernate/JPA and PostgreSQL.

• Collaborate with architects, business analysts, and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.

• Participate in code reviews, enforce development standards, and mentor junior developers.

• Troubleshoot distributed application and microservices issues.

• Support CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, unit testing, and integration testing.

• Support third-party and inter-agency system integrations.

Mandatory Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional Java development experience.

• Strong proficiency in Java 21, including records, sealed classes, pattern matching, and virtual threads.

• Proven experience designing and developing microservices architectures.

• Extensive experience with Spring Boot and the Spring ecosystem, including Spring MVC, Data, Security, and Cloud.

• Hands-on experience with Spring Batch for large-scale data processing.

• Strong Hibernate/JPA and relational database experience, preferably PostgreSQL.

• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, including API versioning and contract-first design.

• Experience with inter-service communication using REST, messaging queues, and/or event-driven patterns.

• Experience deploying and operating microservices on AWS, including services such as EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, SQS, and Lambda.

• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.

• Strong knowledge of design patterns, SOLID principles, clean code, Git, and collaborative development.

• Understanding of distributed systems concepts including fault tolerance, circuit breakers, retries, and observability.

Desirable Qualifications

• Experience working on government, state, federal, or other public-sector IT projects.

• Experience with microservices patterns such as Saga, CQRS, event sourcing, and API composition.

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes/ECS, and service mesh technologies.

• Knowledge of SQS, SNS, Kafka, API Gateway, or Spring Cloud Gateway.

• Experience with centralized logging and distributed tracing tools such as CloudWatch, Splunk, Datadog, Zipkin, or OpenTelemetry.
