• Establish API contract standards using OpenAPI and related tools to enable independent frontend and backend development.

• Improve CI/CD pipelines, build reliability, deployment automation, and developer feedback cycles.

• Identify productivity bottlenecks and implement solutions that improve engineering efficiency and code quality.

SKILLS REQUIRED

• 6–9 years of experience in Java application development, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Developer Experience (DevEx) roles.

• Strong experience with Java, Tomcat, JSP, Servlets, JDBC, Spring MVC, and/or Spring Boot.

• Good understanding of legacy Java monoliths and modernization practices.
