We are seeking a Java Senior Developer with strong experience in distributed systems and production-grade environments to join our Mexico Delivery Center.

This role goes beyond traditional backend development — we are looking for a hands-on technical leader who can design, build, and operate scalable systems, take ownership of services in production, and support real-time, high-availability platforms.

The ideal candidate has experience building cloud-native applications, working with microservices and event-driven architectures, and actively participating in incident response, system reliability, and continuous improvement of live services.

• Build and maintain Java-based microservices using modern frameworks.
• Develop solutions that ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and system resiliency.

• Own the full lifecycle of services, including development, deployment, and production support.
• Monitor and support live systems, proactively identifying and resolving issues.
• Participate in incident response, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis.
• Lead and contribute to post-incident reviews (postmortems) and drive continuous improvement.

• Work with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) to build and operate scalable systems.
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams on CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and observability.
• Ensure systems are built with strong monitoring, logging, and alerting practices.

• Design and implement solutions using SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Build and optimize systems that interact with downstream services and distributed components.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and ensure alignment with enterprise standards.

• Lead development efforts and provide guidance to engineering teams.
• Conduct code reviews and enforce best practices in design, performance, and scalability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, infrastructure, and product stakeholders.
• Communicate technical solutions, trade-offs, and system design decisions clearly.

• 6+ years of experience in software development using Java technologies.
• Strong expertise in Java (11+), Spring Boot, and microservices architecture.
• Proven experience building distributed systems at scale.
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
• Strong understanding of system design, scalability, resiliency, and high availability.
• Experience supporting production systems, including incident handling and troubleshooting.
• Proficiency with SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and version control tools.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional environments.
• English proficiency (B2+ or higher).

• Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus).
• Familiarity with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience working in high-traffic, real-time systems.
• Background in Agile/Scrum environments.

• Opportunity to work on high-scale distributed systems and real-time platforms.
