Education & Professional Background
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
3+ years of professional experience building enterprise-level software, ideally in risk, fraud, or payments systems.
Core Technical Expertise
Expert in Java, J2EE, Spring Framework, and Spring Boot, building scalable RESTful APIs and microservices in cloud environments.
Strong grasp of RESTful API design principles and patterns, with deep experience in relational databases (Oracle, MySQL) and NoSQL stores.
Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Harness) and deploying to major cloud platforms (GCP preferred).
Solid understanding of distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, including Docker and Kubernetes.
Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML into backend systems: serving and calling ML models and LLM APIs, building feature pipelines, and supporting real-time inference for risk decisioning.
