  • Build and maintain high-quality backend services and RESTful APIs using Spring Boot and JVM languages (Kotlin and Java). Write clean, efficient, and testable code adhering to modern software engineering standards.
  • Design systems to handle high traffic and large datasets, leveraging distributed systems concepts such as load balancing, caching (e.g., Redis, Memcached), and message queues (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ).
  • Work closely with frontend developers, DevOps engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutions that meet business requirements.
  • Create and maintain technical documentation for architecture, APIs, and processes to facilitate knowledge sharing and onboarding.
  • Deploy and manage containerized services on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Cloud Run.

  • 2 years of experience with API development for customer-facing applications.
  • Experience working with, designing, and debugging distributed systems & microservices

 

It's preferred if you have:

  • Experience with the Backend-for-a-Frontend design pattern.
  • Proven experience building applications that interact with Large Language Models (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) via Vertex AI or direct APIs.
  • Familiarity with agentic design patterns, including ReAct (Reasoning and Acting) loops, semantic routing, and guardrails against prompt injection/hallucinations
  • Experience using AI coding tools like AntiGravity, Claude, Cursor etc
