I’m looking for a Senior Software Engineer role focused on Java backend development, where I can work on scalable microservices, distributed systems, API performance, and system design. I’m interested in technically challenging products, strong engineering practices, and opportunities to take ownership of backend systems while continuing to grow as a senior engineer.
Urvashi Prajapati
@urvashiprajapati
Java Backend Engineer with 4.5+ years in Spring Boot, Microservices, REST APIs, Kafka, SQL, AWS/GCP, and scalable systems.
What I'm looking for
I've built scalable Java and Spring Boot platforms at Sapiens and Rakuten, spanning enterprise insurance modules and high-throughput telecom order workflows.
At Rakuten, I helped scale B2B order-management services from 100 to 1.5M+ line orders while maintaining under-200ms average API latency. I implemented Kafka-based activation workflows and deployed containerized services on GCP with Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins CI/CD.
At Sapiens, I've delivered 10+ insurance modules, improved system performance by 20%, reduced log processing time by 30%, and maintained 80%+ unit-test coverage through JUnit and Mockito.
