• Collaborate with engineering leads and other developers to ensure timely and high-quality delivery
• Work independently to gather requirements and drive tasks to completion

Must-Have Qualifications

• 5–10 years of experience in Java backend development
• Strong proficiency in Spring Boot
• Proven ability to work independently and self-direct in a fast-paced environment
• Experience working on projects where you gathered requirements from leads and delivered solutions with minimal oversight

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with Informatica
• Familiarity with AWS Glue or similar data integration tools

Ideal Candidate

You are a mid-to-senior level backend developer who thrives in structured environments but can operate independently. You’re comfortable jumping into an existing architecture and contributing immediately. You’re also detail-oriented, proactive, and capable of managing your own workload while collaborating with a distributed team.
