You will also operate in anAI-first engineering environment, where tools likeGitHub Copilot and Windsurf, Claudeare used to accelerate development — with a strong expectation thatyou validate, refine, and productionize outputs to meet the security by design with enterprise-grade standards.

Key Responsibilities

Full Stack Development

  • Design and buildscalable microservicesusingJava, Spring Boot, and REST APIs

  • Define clear API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger) with consistent error handling and versioning

  • Accelerate coding, refactoring, and test generation

  • Improve developer productivity without compromising maintainability

  • Critically evaluate AI-generated code for:

  • Correctness and edge cases

  • Security and data handling risks

  • Performance and scalability

  • Apply AI responsibly in:

  • Code generation, debugging, and clear documentation 

  • Unit Test case creation and coverage improvement 

  • Design systems that are:

  • AI-friendly (clear APIs, structured data, consistent contracts)
