- Unit Testing & Quality: Write comprehensive, automated unit tests (using JUnit/Mockito) for every feature to ensure code reliability, maintainability, and a high level of test coverage.
- Cloud-Native Deployment: Manage and deploy containerized applications within AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and develop serverless logic using AWS Lambda.
- CI/CD Pipeline Management: Maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines to automate builds, testing, and deployment processes, ensuring a robust and rapid release cycle.
- API Design: Develop and maintain secure, scalable RESTful APIs that serve as the backbone for various internal and external service integrations.
Required Technical Skills
- Backend: Strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Boot framework (Web, Security, Data).
- Frontend Integration: Practical experience with JavaScript, specifically the Vue.js framework, for full-stack coordination.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with AWS, including EKS for orchestration and Lambda for serverless computing.
- DevOps: Solid understanding of CI/CD concepts and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions).
- Testing: Expertise in writing unit tests and familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices.
- Version Control: Expert knowledge of Git for branching, merging, and pull request workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, DynamoDB).
- Understanding of containerization principles using Docker.
- Knowledge of monitoring and logging tools within an EKS environment.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work in an agile, fast-paced environment.
