- Troubleshoot and remediate production performance issues across the stack (API, ORM, database), including Hibernate query tuning, indexing, and SQL optimization
- Design and implement secure, scalable RESTful APIs
- Participate directly in CI/CD pipeline troubleshooting, deployment support, and release validation using GitLab and SonarQube
- Manage build automation and dependency management using Maven
- Implement and enforce testing strategies using TDD and BDD, leveraging JUnit, Mockito, Cucumber, and Spock
- Build accessibility considerations into application design and implementation, ensuring compliance with Section 508 standards
- Support containerized and serverless workloads in AWS, including ECS, Fargate, and Kubernetes
- Collaborate with DevOps teams to understand, maintain, and troubleshoot Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar tools)
- Make informed architectural trade-offs related to performance, scalability, maintainability, and operational risk
