JAVA Development Tech Lead

About your role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Lead with a minimum of 8+ years of software development experience to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be the primary technical authority for our core software products, driving the long-term technical vision for complex, large-scale systems. You will balance high-level architectural leadership with hands-on coding to ensure the delivery of scalable, robust, and high-quality solutions.

What you’ll do:

Technical Vision & Architecture:

• Lead the design and architectural direction for complex, large-scale backend systems using Java (11+), Spring Boot, and Spring MVC.
• Decompose legacy systems and introduce modern architectural patterns, such as Microservices and event-driven architectures.
• Make critical decisions regarding scalability, reliability, and system resilience.

Hands-on Development:

• Contribute directly to the codebase, tackling the most complex engineering challenges and building core application components.
• Establish and enforce high standards for code quality, testing practices, and documentation.

Mentorship & Leadership:

• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to a team of engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence.
• Conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure adherence to established coding standards and best practices.

Collaboration & Strategy:

• Partner with product managers and senior stakeholders to translate business requirements into actionable technical roadmaps.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks, bottlenecks, and debt across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Experience you’ll need to have:

• Minimum 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant focus on backend systems
• Proven experience (typically 2-3+ years) in a technical leadership or lead engineer role
• Core Technical Stack: Expert-level proficiency in Java 11+ and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate). Deep understanding of Microservices architecture and RESTful API design principles
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes
• Familiarity with messaging systems such as Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ

Experience that would be great to have:

• Strong knowledge of Oracle databases is a plus
