Conduct in-depth business process analysis, identifying pain points, inefficiencies, and opportunities for technological improvement and automation.
Define and document functional and non-functional requirements, use cases, and process flows, ensuring comprehensive understanding across development and business teams.
Facilitate requirements gathering workshops, interviews, and brainstorming sessions with diverse stakeholder groups.
Perform gap analysis between current state and desired future state, proposing innovative solutions and recommending optimal system designs.
Evaluate technical feasibility and business impact of proposed solutions, providing insights and recommendations to both technical and business leadership.
Ensure that delivered solutions meet business expectations, provide measurable value, and adhere to regulatory and compliance standards.

Qualifications:

Overall Experience: 6+ years of progressive experience in software development, with a primary focus on backend systems and enterprise application delivery.
Architectural Leadership: 1+ years of demonstrated leadership in architecting, designing, and guiding the development of complex, scalable, and high-performance enterprise-level backend applications.
Technical Analysis: Proven experience in translating complex business requirements into technical designs and architectural blueprints for backend services.
Core Java Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in Java, including advanced concepts such as multi-threading, concurrency, performance optimization, and memory management.
Spring Ecosystem Expertise: Hands-on expertise with the Spring ecosystem, including Spring Boot for rapid application development, Spring Cloud for building distributed systems (e.g., service discovery, configuration management, circuit breakers), and Spring Security for implementing robust authentication and authorization.
API and Web Services: Extensive experience (5+ years) in designing, building, and consuming robust, secure, and high-throughput RESTful APIs and SOAP Web Services (JAX-RS/JAX-WS).
System Architecture: Good understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, event-driven architecture, and API-first design principles.
Containerization and Orchestration: Proven, hands-on experience with OpenShift/Kubernetes for deploying, managing, and scaling containerized applications in production environments.
DevOps and CI/CD: Proficiency with modern CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, Tekton) and a strong commitment to DevOps practices, including automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery.
Version Control: Expert-level knowledge of Git, including advanced branching strategies (e.g., GitFlow), pull requests, and code review processes.
Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills: Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a talent for debugging complex distributed systems and ensuring long-term architectural integrity.
Communication and Leadership: Outstanding communication (written and verbal), interpersonal, and mentoring skills, with the ability to lead a development team, influence technical direction, and collaborate effectively with stakeholders.
Strategic Mindset: Strong leadership capabilities combined with a strategic mindset to align technical solutions with long-term business goals.
Domain Experience: Experience in the financial services industry is a significant advantage.

Nice-to-Have:

Expertise in Messaging Systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, IBM MQ, etc.)
Deep understanding of the Linux Ecosystem.
Experience with enterprise scheduling tools (e.g., Autosys).
Experience with API Management platforms (e.g., Apigee, API Gateway).
Proficiency with APM Tools (Dynatrace, AppDynamics) for monitoring and performance optimization.
Experience with Caching Technologies (Hazelcast, Redis, Memcached) for high-performance systems.
