• Proven ability to independently work across the entire technology stack, including:
  • Angular/UI development
  • Java/Spring services
  • REST APIs and microservices
  • Messaging and system integrations
  • Oracle/SQL/PL-SQL
  • Containers and deployment
• Demonstrated experience designing high-performance, scalable, resilient, secure, and maintainable applications.

  • Technical design
  • Code generation and refactoring
  • Unit and integration test development
  • Code analysis and debugging
  • Documentation
  • Legacy application understanding and modernization
• Experience establishing project context, coding standards, and development conventions for AI-assisted development.
• Ability to critically evaluate and improve AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, maintainability, and architectural alignment.
• Must understand that AI-generated code requires the same engineering rigor, testing, review, and controls as manually developed code.

Backend Engineering

• Ability to diagnose complex JVM, application, integration, concurrency, and performance problems.

Frontend Engineering

• Strong, recent production development experience with Angular and TypeScript.
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS.
• Experience building complex enterprise UIs, reusable components and shared services.
• Experience with API integration, reactive programming, routing, forms, error handling, security, and frontend performance.
• Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning the browser/UI through backend services and the database.

Database & Data Engineering

• Advanced hands-on experience with Oracle, SQL, and PL/SQL, including complex queries, stored procedures, packages, execution-plan analysis, and performance tuning.
• Strong hands-on experience with Snowflake, including SQL development, data access patterns, query optimization, performance tuning, and integration with enterprise applications.
• Experience developing Java/Spring Boot applications that consume or integrate with Snowflake.
• Experience designing application data-access patterns across traditional relational databases and cloud data platforms such as Snowflake.
• Experience with Oracle-to-Snowflake migration or modernization is strongly preferred.
• Ability to evaluate appropriate data-access approaches based on performance, volume, latency, security, and application requirements.

Cloud, Containers & DevOps

• Strong hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes and/or OpenShift.
• Experience with AWS strongly preferred.
• Strong experience with CI/CD processes and technologies including:

Testing & Engineering Quality

• Strong commitment to automated testing and engineering quality.
• Hands-on experience with JUnit, Mockito, Jasmine/Karma, Selenium, Cucumber, or comparable frameworks.
• Ability to develop comprehensive unit, integration, and automated regression tests.
• Strong experience conducting technical design reviews and detailed code reviews.
• Ability to identify architectural, performance, security, scalability, and maintainability problems before they reach production.

Primary Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end technical ownership of complex application features and components.
• Design and develop production-grade applications using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Oracle and enterprise integration technologies.
• Translate complex business requirements into effective technical designs and high-quality implementations.
• Design APIs, microservices, integrations, data access patterns, and frontend components.
• Use Kiro/AI-assisted development effectively throughout the software development lifecycle while applying appropriate engineering judgment and controls.
• Develop solutions that meet requirements for performance, scalability, resiliency, security, maintainability, and operational support.
• Lead technical design discussions and contribute to application architecture.
• Perform detailed code reviews and raise the engineering quality of the broader team.
• Diagnose and resolve complex production problems across the UI, API, Java application, messaging, database, and infrastructure layers.
• Perform root-cause analysis and develop sustainable solutions rather than tactical fixes.
• Identify technical debt and proactively recommend opportunities for modernization, simplification, and performance improvement.
