Job Title: Backend Architect

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Backend Architect who is highly hands-on with Java, Spring Boot, and scalable microservices architecture. The ideal candidate will lead the design and development of a robust, cloud-native backend system leveraging modern cloud platforms, event-driven messaging, caching strategies, and scalable database solutions.

This role involves architecting highly scalable, distributed backend systems optimized for performance, reliability, and cloud efficiency. The candidate should have experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and be well-versed in cloud-native patterns, security best practices, and automation techniques to build resilient and efficient systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Architect and build scalable, high-performance microservices using Java and Spring Boot.
  • Implement event-driven architecture using Kafka or Google Pub/Sub for real-time data streaming and processing.
  • Design and develop GraphQL endpoints to optimize data fetching and improve API efficiency.
  • Optimize API performance, security, and observability for cloud-native microservices.
  • Design and manage caching strategies with Redis to enhance system performance.
  • Implement highly available NoSQL database solutions for scalable storage and efficient querying.
  • Develop fault-tolerant, resilient, and auto-scalable solutions using best practices in cloud architecture.
  • Drive best practices in CI/CD automation, containerization, and infrastructure as code.
  • Lead and mentor backend engineers, ensuring code quality, architecture consistency, and performance tuning.
  • Collaborate closely with frontend, DevOps, and data engineering teams to build an end-to-end scalable platform.
Key Requirements
  • 8+ years of experience in backend development with a focus on Java and Spring Boot.
  • Deep expertise in building and managing microservices architectures with best practices.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Kafka or Google Pub/Sub for event-driven architecture.
  • Proficiency in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and its services, including compute, storage, networking, and security solutions.
  • Experience with Redis for caching strategies and distributed session management.
  • Strong knowledge of NoSQL databases such as Firestore, MongoDB, or Cassandra.
  • Expertise in RESTful API and GraphQL API design, security best practices, and API gateway implementation.
  • Solid understanding of performance tuning, scalability strategies, and observability tools.
  • Experience with CI/CD automation, container orchestration using Docker/Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code (Terraform or Helm).
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a passion for clean, maintainable, and testable code.
  • Excellent leadership, mentorship, and communication skills.
