Java Developer - Spring Boot Frameworks (7-12 yrs)

Basic :

- Take a business problem and come up with the technical strategy (push vs pull etc, real time vs batches, sync vs async) within the team, high level design and lead the implementation

- Need- minimal directions or guidance and collaborate with SDEs across teams working on the same or similar business problem

- You showcase exemplary behaviour in your work - your design, delivery, code, processes all set examples for your team

- Influence your team's technical and business strategy by suggesting novel approaches

- Able to communicate your ideas and get feedback from different stakeholders and drive convergence to achieve the right outcomes

- Proactively mentor the rest of the team and help in hiring

- Ensure design or architectural deficiencies are addressed and routinely simplify integration of your peer teams with your team's software

- Consistently lead delivery of valuable features

- Continually propose and drive process improvements

- Help elaborate requirements where necessary

Programming :

- Demonstrate in depth knowledge of IDE, language and toolset in Java/J2EE/Springboot or equivalent. Also relevant knowledge in relational and non-relational databases.
