• Produce clear, comprehensive documentation, including design specs, admin/user guides, and release notes.
• Participate actively in code reviews, collaborate throughout the development lifecycle, and provide mentorship to junior team members.
• Partner with QA teams to ensure applications meet quality, performance, and reliability standards.
• Conduct integration testing in lab environments to validate system-level behavior.
• Support a culture of continuous learning, sharing knowledge of relevant technologies and industry trends with the broader team.

Requirements:

• Strong experience developing Java applications using object-oriented programming principles.
• Solid understanding of web development, including building RESTful APIs and working with microservices architectures.
• Experience with front-end development, preferably using Angular (or similar modern frameworks).
• Proficiency with SQL databases, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle.
• Experience building applications designed for cloud deployment, with hands-on proficiency in Kubernetes orchestration and management.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proactive, ownership-driven mindset.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams.
