Software Engineer II (Java, backend)

Summary

You will be part of the Product Development & Operations (PDO) organization, which is focused on delivering secure, scalable, and efficient cloud operations while driving transformative innovation across AI, cloud, and data platforms.

• Build and evolve microservices and APIs that power the Integration Gateway platform, emphasizing scalability, resiliency, and performance.

• Own CI/CD pipelines for your services—automating build, test, security scanning, and deployments in a public cloud environment (AWS or similar).

• Implement and maintain observability (metrics, logging, tracing) to detect, triage, and resolve issues in production quickly.

• Triage, debug, and resolve defects across the stack, ensuring robust, maintainable solutions.

• Maintain secure coding practices and remediate application security findings in partnership with security and operations teams.

• Apply a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and performance optimization to build efficient and reliable services.

• Embrace and responsibly use AI tools in your daily work—for example, to accelerate coding, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation—aligning with PDO’s goal to deliver GenAI-enabled products and developer experiences.

What You Will Need to Succeed

• 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience.

• Strong programming skills in Java, with experience building production-grade services.

• Hands-on experience with Spring Boot and microservices architecture.

• Solid understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and performance optimization in distributed systems.

• Experience working with at least one major public cloud provider (AWS preferred).

• Understanding of distributed systems concepts and principles (consistency and availability,

• liveness and safety, durability, reliability, fault-tolerance, consensus algorithms)

• Ability to work in an agile fast-paced environment

• Demonstrated ability to embrace AI and apply it to your current role as well as data-driven insights to drive innovation, productivity and continuous improvement.
