Java Software Engineer

Are you a Senior Java Engineer passionate about building high-performance, policy-driven security platforms where sub-millisecond authorization decisions are critical? We are seeking an experienced Senior Java Developer to play a central engineering role in delivering a centralized Authentication & Authorization (AuthN/AuthZ) Layer for a large-scale Core Banking Transformation Program.

In this role, you will build the policy-driven security engine that sits at the very heart of modern banking operations. You will design transparent identity validation, fine-grained RBAC/ABAC authorization, and tamper-resistant audit trails without requiring domain services to manage authorization logic themselves. If you thrive on solving complex, security-first architectural challenges in a high-throughput financial environment, this is your next career milestone.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Java Developer on the Core Platform team, you will translate complex security architecture decisions into clean, highly testable code. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Security & Auth Engine: Implement JWT-based stateless authentication, OAuth 2.1 / OIDC resource server configurations, custom filter chains, and method-level security.
• Cross-Cutting Concerns: Write high-efficiency aspects using Spring AOP for authorization enforcement, auditing, and data masking across the enterprise application layer.
• Batch Processing & Caching: Design robust batch jobs for data synchronization using Spring Batch, and optimize decision latency via distributed caching (Spring Data Redis / Lettuce).
• Event-Driven Messaging: Integrate Apache Kafka for event publishing, transaction log auditing, and error-handling with strict processing semantics.
• Cloud-Native Deployment: Package and manage stateless microservices on Kubernetes, ensuring seamless scaling, readiness/liveness probes, and configuration management.

Qualifications

To excel in this position, you should bring a strong foundation in enterprise Java technologies paired with hands-on experience in containerized environments. We are looking for:

• Java Mastery: 4–5 years of hands-on experience building complex applications with strong proficiency in Java, modern IDEs (e.g., VS Code), and Git.
• Spring & AOP Frameworks: 2–3 years of experience with Spring (including Spring Integration) and 1–2 years of experience with Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), JPA, and JDBC.
• UI Capabilities: Proven experience building UI front-end applications using React.
• Containerization: At least 1 year of practical experience working with Docker or equivalent container tools.
• Soft Skills: Exceptional team-oriented mindset, fast-learning agility, and full fluency in English.

While not mandatory, the following qualifications and tech exposure will be considered a strong advantage:

• Experience with Reactive Application Design and asynchronous messaging patterns.
• Hands-on experience with container platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift) and major cloud providers (Azure, AWS).
• Exposure to automated DevOps environments and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with messaging, caching, and database solutions such as Kafka, Redis, RDBMS, or Business Rule Engines (e.g., Drools).
• Familiarity with Application Security concepts, Entra ID, and JWT.

Experience

• 2+ years of experience as a software engineer

Benefits

You will join a forward-thinking, collaborative technical environment that encourages continuous learning and innovation. In return, you will receive:

• A competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.
• Flexible hybrid working model
• The opportunity to work on complex, cloud-native applications within distributed teams.
• Modern work environment focused on technical growth and professional development.
