Back-end Software Development Engineer #1065688
Position Description:    
  • We are looking for a Senior Java Developer to join our team supporting critical GCP projects, where we are migrating and decoupling business-critical systems (including legacy mainframe-fed data) onto modern, cloud-native infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • This is a hands-on senior role for someone who thrives on solving real architectural and data-integrity challenges — not just writing code, but owning the design, performance, and reliability of the systems they build.
  • You'll work across the full stack — from Java/Spring Boot backend services and Angular front ends to PostgreSQL data design, to orchestrating mainframe-to-cloud data pipelines with Apache Airflow.    


Skills Required:    
  • GitHub
  • Jenkins
  • GCP Cloud Run
  • PostgreSQL
  • AIRFLOW
  • Angular
  • GCP
  • Java    


Skills Preferred:    
  • Big Query

   
Experience Required:    
  • Engineer Exp: Prac. In 2 coding lang. or adv. Prac. in 1 lang.
  • 6+ years in IT
  • 4+ years in development    


Experience Preferred:    
  • Experience with Agile
  • Strong drive for results and ability to multi-task and work Independently
  • Self-starter with proven innovation skills
  • Ability to work with cross-functional teams
  • Commitment to quality and project timing
  • Experience a plus
  • Solid foundation in programming standards, toolsets and methodologies    


Education Required:

Additional Information:    
  • Build and maintain Java (Spring Boot) microservices supporting enterprise framework, ensuring clean architecture, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Build and maintain Angular front-end applications that consume backend APIs, with attention to performance, state management, and user experience for business-critical reporting and workflow tools.
  • Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas, queries, and indexing strategies to support both transactional workloads and high-volume batch data loads (including diagnosing and resolving performance issues such as query plan regressions, stale statistics, and index bloat).
  • Develop and maintain Apache Airflow DAGs to orchestrate data pipelines moving data from mainframe systems into PostgreSQL (Cloud SQL), including file-arrival validation, data quality checks, idempotent load patterns, and failure recovery.
  • Architect and implement solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), leveraging services such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Run/GKE, Cloud Storage, and IAM for secure, scalable deployments.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (business stakeholders, mainframe/legacy system owners, QA, other IT teams) to plan and execute system separations with minimal business disruption.
  • Lead environment promotion activities (Dev ¿ UAT ¿ Prod), ensuring configuration is portable and deployments are automated via CI/CD (e.g., Cloud Build, GitHub Actions).
  • Proactively identify risks in existing applications and drive remediation.
  • Write clean, well-tested code (unit and integration tests) and participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, and architectural decision-making.
  • Mentor junior/mid-level engineers and contribute to raising the technical bar across the team. Support UAT and production troubleshooting, including root-cause analysis of data or performance issues across the Java, PostgreSQL, and Airflow layers.
