- Engineer cloud-native services for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), including configuration, deployments, scaling, and observability.
- Implement robust system designs for high availability and high throughput: circuit breakers, back-pressure, idempotency, retries, and graceful degradation.
- Ensure security-by-design aligned to NIST 800-53 controls, including secure coding practices, secrets management, and compliance guardrails.
- Build streaming and event-driven integrations and RESTful APIs; instrument services for performance (APM, logs, metrics) and reliability (SLOs, error budgets).
- Collaborate with product, architecture, and platform teams to deliver features end-to-end; participate in code reviews, technical design sessions, and performance tuning.
- Drive quality with test-driven development, automated testing (unit, contract, integration), and CI/CD pipelines.
To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field. - Advanced degree preferred. **EXPERIENCE:** - Typically 5-9 years of experience.
- Deep expertise in Java, Spring Boot, microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, and Angular front-end development.
- Hands-on experience deploying and running workloads in Azure AKS; familiarity with containers, orchestration, and cloud networking.
- Proven system design skills for distributed systems, including fault tolerance, scalability patterns, and resilience engineering.
- Strong understanding of DevSecOps, secure coding, and applying NIST 800-53 controls.
