ASSESSMENT REQUIRED

Job Description
We are seeking a Senior Backend Developer (Consultant) to accelerate the modernization of our core platform, moving from a monolithic legacy system to a highly distributed, cloud-native architecture. In this role, you will lead the integration of features across 5 6 cross-functional teams, acting as a driving technical force without needing formal authority. A core immediate focus will be contributing to our Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication platform. The ideal candidate embraces ambiguity, designs robust yet pragmatic solutions without over-engineering, and can execute efficiently leveraging AI-assisted coding tools like GitHub Copilot.
Job Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Coordinate and align with 5 6 different teams to deliver unified capabilities; unblock dependencies and influence technical outcomes across departments.
  • System Modernization: Design and build distributed, cloud-native backend services, focusing heavily on migrating legacy REST workflows directly into GraphQL.
  • Feature Ownership: Take full ownership of complex initiatives from sparse initial requirements to production delivery navigating ambiguity gracefully.
  • Product Thinking: Connect technical and architectural decisions directly to business outcomes, ensuring high performance and scalability.

Required Technical Skills
  • Languages: Expert-level Java (17+) and Python (specifically optimized for AWS Lambda).
  • Frameworks & APIs: Strong experience with Java Spring Boot, robust GraphQL implementation, and legacy REST API deprecation/migration.
  • AWS Cloud Native Stack: Deep expertise in AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, ECS/EC2, API Gateway, Secrets Manager, and Step Functions.
  • Event-Driven Architecture: Proven experience with Apache Kafka event streaming, alongside traditional knowledge of AWS SQS and SNS setup.
  • Security & Auth: Strong foundation in basic security practices, cloud-native authentication, and Single Sign-On (SSO) platforms.
  • CI/CD & Tools: Experience optimizing deployment pipelines (CI/CD emphasis over foundational infra), using CloudFormation, and leveraging GitHub Copilot to optimize development velocity.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with AWS networking fundamentals (VPCs, Subnets, Security Groups).
  • Exposure to Aurora DB, Data Lake fundamentals, Snowflake, or AWS Glue (ETL).
