Senior Engineer - Software Development

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain services across the stack, with primary ownership of the Java (Spring Boot) backend, within the existing system's established architecture
• Ensure data integrity and correct transaction boundaries across concurrent, high-throughput operations
• Diagnose and resolve concurrency issues, race conditions, and deadlocks in a live production environment
• Profile and tune application performance under real client load, not synthetic benchmarks
• Apply disciplined change management to every release given the system's live, critical status
• Work on the relational database layer (schema changes, query performance, migrations) with production-safe practices

Qualifications

• 5+ years of strong Java development experience, with a deep understanding of enterprise application development, backend architecture, and scalable software solutions.
• Solid grasp of transaction boundaries and data integrity in multi-user systems
• Hands-on experience with Spring Boot for designing, developing, and maintaining robust backend services, APIs, and microservices.
• Strong SQL and relational database experience (schema design, query tuning, migrations) across engines such as MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server
• Track record of diagnosing and fixing performance issues under real production load
• Demonstrated capability to quickly understand, maintain, and enhance existing codebases, including large-scale and business-critical applications with established architectural patterns.
• Experience with ETL and data ingestion tools such as StreamSets, Apache NiFi, or similar dataflow platforms
• Comfortable with the operational side of delivery, including CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and monitoring/observability tools
• Strong grasp of software design principles (SOLID, clean architecture) expected at senior level
• Practical experience with React, enough to contribute to the frontend when needed

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Experience working within an established, live production system rather than greenfield development
• Comfortable following existing architectural patterns and conventions rather than introducing new ones
• Awareness of the change-management discipline a live, critical client deployment demands
• Understanding of how mapping/GIS systems work is a plus
• Familiarity with big data/analytical stores such as Apache Kudu is a plus
• Working knowledge of Python is a plus
• Experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate delivery across projects, while retaining full ownership and review of what ships
