As a Java Lead, you will be instrumental in designing and developing scalable enterprise applications using Core Java, Spring Boot, and Microservices. Your role will involve defining API contracts, service boundaries, and integration strategies for robust enterprise systems. You will also develop reusable backend components following clean architecture and secure coding principles.

Key responsibilities include optimizing application performance through advanced techniques like caching and JVM tuning, and taking ownership of end-to-end module delivery from design through to deployment. Conducting code reviews to ensure adherence to best practices, collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into technical solutions, and designing event-driven architectures are also crucial aspects of this role. You will drive CI/CD pipeline improvements, troubleshoot production issues with detailed root cause analysis, and mentor junior developers.

Responsibilities also encompass driving improvements in CI/CD pipelines, logging, monitoring, and deployment automation to enhance operational efficiency. Troubleshooting production issues and performance bottlenecks through detailed root cause analysis and implementing sustainable fixes will be part of your duties. Mentoring junior developers on coding standards, debugging techniques, and modern Java development practices is also expected.
