• Define and promote API standards around resource design, versioning, error handling, security, backward compatibility, and lifecycle management.
• Work with DevOps and cloud teams to support CI/CD workflows, containerized deployments, and automated release processes.
• Implement observability practices using logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, alerts, and monitoring tools.
• Partner with product, architecture, security, quality engineering, and consuming teams to deliver and validate integrations.
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, Agile ceremonies, and continuous improvement activities.
• Support production and pre-production environments, including incident response and on-call responsibilities.
• Identify technical debt and reliability risks while balancing delivery goals and long-term maintainability.

Skills

• 7+ years of professional software development experience building enterprise applications and web services.
• Strong hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Framework, Spring Boot, REST API design, and microservices architecture.
• Experience leading technical design and delivering complex software across the full development lifecycle.
