- Build workflows covering purchases, renewals, cancellations, refunds and subscription-state changes.
- Design reliable, idempotent transaction-processing systems.
- Handle retries, failures, reconciliation and eventual consistency across distributed services.
- Build event-driven and asynchronous workflows using messaging systems.
- Design systems that can handle high throughput and sudden traffic spikes.
- Optimize service latency, throughput, scalability and infrastructure utilization.
- Improve observability through logging, metrics, tracing and alerting.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues across distributed services.
- Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews and technical-design discussions.
Requirements
- Strong programming experience with Java.
- Strong experience with Spring Boot / Spring ecosystem.
- Strong experience designing RESTful APIs and microservices.
