• 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

• 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
