You are a senior engineer with strong skills in Java and/or Kotlin, building secure, observable, cloud-native services on Azure. You are comfortable designing containerized microservices, deploying to Kubernetes, and making pragmatic architectural trade‑offs. You pair strong implementation skills with the ability to step back, evaluate patterns, and propose resilient, evolvable solutions.

Core Responsibilities
- Design and build containerized microservices (Java / Kotlin) with clear domain boundaries.
- Define and maintain OpenAPI specifications; drive contract-first API evolution.
- Implement robust API controllers (validation, versioning, idempotency, error models).
- Write high‑quality unit, integration, and contract tests (coverage + meaningful assertions).
- Instrument services with structured logging, metrics, tracing, and health probes.
- Optimize use of data stores (relational, NoSQL, binary/object) based on access patterns.
- Author design proposals, sequence/architecture diagrams (Markdown, C4 / Visio equivalents).
- Leverage Azure services (Key Vault, managed databases,



messaging, container registry, monitoring).
- Apply security best practices (least privilege, secrets management, dependency hygiene, threat considerations).
- Contribute to event-driven patterns (producers/consumers, schema evolution, Kafka / streaming semantics).
- Support CI/CD and infrastructure as code (Terraform/Bicep or ARM, YAML pipelines, scripting in Bash/PowerShell Core).
- Participate in code reviews, pair/mob sessions, and iterative refinement.
- Champion resilience (timeouts, retries, circuit breaking, graceful degradation).
- Provide mentoring and technical guidance to mid and junior engineers.
