- Implement RESTful APIs, service integrations, and reusable components.
- Write clean, maintainable, well‑tested code following established coding standards.
Cloud Engineering (AWS)
- Build and deploy cloud‑native solutions using core AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, RDS).
- Contribute to cloud architecture discussions and implement best practices for security, scalability, and observability.
Quality Engineering
- Write automated unit, integration, and functional tests.
- Contribute to code reviews, defect resolution, and performance improvements.
- Support continuous integration and continuous deployment activities.
Technical Collaboration

- Provide technical input into design decisions and documentation.
Operational Support
- Support environments, deployments, and troubleshooting.
- Help maintain service stability using monitoring and logging tools.
Essential Skills (Must Have)
- Strong Java development experience, preferred Java 17+.
- Experience with Spring Boot, REST APIs, and microservice architectures.
- Hands‑on exposure to AWS services in real delivery environments.
- Knowledge of CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.).
- Good understanding of testing practices (JUnit, Mockito, integration tests).
- Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and basic cloud networking concepts.
- Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work independently within guidelines.
Desirable Skills (Nice to Have)
- Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation).
- Exposure to event‑driven systems (Kafka, SNS/SQS, Kinesis).
- Experience with monitoring/observability tools (ELK, CloudWatch, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Splunk).
- Familiarity with security best practices and OWASP principles.
- Experience working on public‑sector or regulated projects.
Experience Profile
- Practical experience delivering Java services in a cloud or microservices environment.
- Demonstrated contributions to Agile teams (Scrum/Kanban).
- Experience supporting CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
- Exposure to collaborative delivery with Product, QA, DevOps and Architecture teams.
Ways of Working
- Works under general direction; receives guidance on complex tasks but handles routine work independently (aligned with SFIA Level 4 expectations).
