* Build and manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE).
* Develop RESTful APIs and work with API Gateways (e.g. Apigee).
* Apply Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and DevOps practices (CI/CD, Git, Jenkins).
* Work with SQL/NoSQL databases and Unix/Linux environments.
* Contribute to architectural decisions and ensure secure, scalable solutions.
* Mentor junior engineers and support community knowledge sharing.
What You’ll Need
We’re looking for engineers who are technically strong, collaborative, and eager to grow. You’ll need:
* Strong backend development experience in Java and ideally another OOP language.
* Experience with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and service mesh (Istio).
* Familiarity with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) and IaC tools (Terraform).
* Proficiency in CI/CD tools and DevOps principles.
* Experience with TDD using JUnit and knowledge of secure coding practices.
Any experience with the below would also be desirable:
* microservices, event-driven systems, and test automation (BDD, contract testing).
