In this role, you will:

• Design and develop robust microservices using Core Java and Spring Boot to support high-volume, transaction-heavy payer systems
• Build and optimize Kafka-based event-driven architectures for real-time processing of claims, eligibility, and policy data
• Develop efficient SQL queries and database models to manage complex healthcare data with accuracy and performance
• Implement secure, reusable APIs and services for seamless integration across enterprise systems
• Troubleshoot and optimize system performance through JVM tuning, Kafka configuration, and database optimization
