What You Will Do
<ul>
<li>Design, build, and own backend microservices in Java and Spring Boot, from design doc to production</li>
<li>Build for high throughput and low latency, with clear ownership of p99 latency and availability targets</li>
<li>Work with Kafka or similar queues for event-driven flows, Redis for caching, and SQL plus NoSQL stores for persistence</li>
<li>Own production health: monitoring, alerting, incident RCAs, and performance tuning</li>

</ul>
Must Have
<ul>
<li>3 to 5 years of backend development in Java with strong, recent Spring Boot experience</li>

<li>Hands-on with at least two of: Kafka or similar queues, Redis or Memcached, Cassandra, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch</li>
<li>Concrete scale receipts: you can speak to QPS, events per day, p99 latency, and what you personally did to improve them</li>
<li>Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and distributed systems basics</li>
<li>Product company background</li>
</ul>
Good to Have
<ul>
<li>Docker, Kubernetes, AWS or GCP</li>
