Job Description

:
: Senior Software Engineer (Java / Groovy / Azure)
Role Summary
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (6-8 years) to build and enhance DDAPI services and supporting worker components. You will design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Java, create strong test coverage using Groovy/Spock, and integrate solutions on Azure (Event Bus, Key Vault, rules, CI/CD pipelines). You will work closely with DevOps and platform teams to ensure reliable deployments, observability, and production readiness.
Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend services and APIs using Java (Spring Boot preferred) following clean architecture and SOLID practices.

• Build event-driven workflows using Azure Event Bus / messaging patterns (publish/subscribe, retries, idempotency).

• Implement and maintain integration tests and automated validations (Groovy/Spock, Testcontainers, WireMock, contract tests).

• Manage secrets and secure configuration using Azure Key Vault, and ensure secure access patterns.

• Contribute to Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines (build, test, quality gates, deployments), and enforce best practices.

• Work with containerized workloads using Docker, including local dev setup, troubleshooting, and runtime readiness.

• Implement rules/guardrails and operational controls (routing rules, access policies, environment-specific configuration).

• Participate in code reviews, incident/debug support, and performance improvements in production systems.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver features with high quality and predictable timelines.

Required Skills & Experience (Must Have)

• 6-8 years of backend engineering experience.

• Strong hands-on Java (Spring Boot, REST APIs, concurrency basics, collections, exception handling, performance).

• Strong testing mindset with Groovy/Spock (unit + integration testing).

• Azure experience in at least:

o Event Bus / messaging (event-driven systems, queues/topics, retry patterns)
o Key Vault (secrets/certs, access policies, managed identity patterns)
o Rules / governance controls (policies, routing rules, environment control mechanisms)
o Pipelines (Azure DevOps CI/CD, YAML pipelines, gates, approvals)

• Docker fundamentals (images, containers, networking basics, debugging).

• Integration testing experience (WireMock, Testcontainers, DB/test env setup, stubs/mocks).

• Understanding of secure software practices (secret handling, least privilege, OAuth2 basics is a plus).

Good to Have

• Kubernetes (AKS), Helm, basic ops/debugging (logs, probes, restart loops).

• Observability: Application Insights / logs / metrics / dashboards / s.

• Event schema design, contract testing, idempotency, outbox patterns.

• Knowledge of Git branching strategies and release tagging
