Design, develop, and maintain scalable integration solutions using Java-based microservices architecture, enabling reliable communication between on-premise systems and cloud platforms.

• Build and enhance RESTful APIs using frameworks such as Spring Boot, ensuring high performance, modularity, and adherence to REST standards and API lifecycle practices.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of API-driven integration patterns, focusing on reusability, loose coupling, and maintainability.
• Develop and implement event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka, including building producers and consumers, defining topics, and enabling real-time data streaming and asynchronous processing.
• Create and reuse integration components and frameworks leveraging Kafka and microservices to standardize development across projects.
• Design and implement data transformation logic for multiple formats such as JSON, XML, CSV, and flat files, ensuring accurate data mapping and system interoperability.
• Collaborate with architects and leads to apply API governance standards, including API design guidelines, versioning, documentation, and reuse strategies.

• Integrate enterprise systems with AWS cloud services, including:

• API Gateway for API exposure
• EC2 / Lambda for compute
• S3 for storage
• SQS/SNS for messaging and decoupled communication
• Develop and support hybrid integration solutions, ensuring seamless connectivity between legacy applications and cloud-native services.
• Implement security best practices, including OAuth 2.0, TLS encryption, JWT-based authentication, and proper use of AWS IAM roles and permissions.
• Contribute to and support CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, Maven, and Git, enabling automated build, test, and deployment of microservices.
• Work with containerization technologies like Docker and gain exposure to Kubernetes-based deployments in cloud-native or hybrid environments.
• Ensure application performance, scalability, and resilience through efficient coding practices, caching strategies, asynchronous processing, and fault-tolerant design.
• Nice to have experience in Mulesoft (Anypoint platform, Anypoint Studio)
• Implement logging, monitoring, and debugging solutions using tools such as CloudWatch, ELK stack, or similar platforms.
• Participate in code reviews and design discussions, ensuring adherence to coding standards and improving overall code quality.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior developers, supporting their growth in Java, Kafka, and cloud integration practices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, product owners, architects) to understand requirements and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Actively participate in Agile development processes, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, ensuring minimal downtime and high system reliability.
• Contribute to the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, including API specs (Swagger/OpenAPI), architecture diagrams, and operational guides.
• Continuously enhance technical skills and stay updated with emerging technologies and integration patterns in microservices, Kafka, and cloud ecosystems.
