Software Engineer

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years building production REST APIs with Spring Boot
• Strong understanding of layered architecture — controller, service, domain, persistence
• Hibernate ORM — entity mapping, relationship management, query optimisation
• Oracle or equivalent relational database — schema design, SQL, indexing
• Experience with event-driven or pipeline-based processing (validation chains, pre/post-save hooks, deserialisation pipelines)
• Unit and integration testing with JUnit 5, Mockito, Spring Test
• Angular reactive forms, component architecture, HTTP client
• TypeScript — interfaces, generics, strict mode
• Schema-driven / configuration-driven UI rendering
• Experience integrating with REST APIs and handling async state
• Docker — containerisation, multi-stage builds
• Kubernetes — deployments, ConfigMaps, Secrets, volume mounts
• CI/CD pipelines — build, test, deploy automation
• Git — branching strategy, code review practice
• Understands multi-tenant SaaS patterns — per-tenant data isolation, JWT-based tenant resolution, path-scoped configuration
• Comfortable with configuration-over-code design — building systems where runtime behaviour is driven by YAML/JSON config rather than compiled logic
• Familiar with extension/plugin architectures — hook registration, dynamic dispatch, runtime resolution of behaviour
• Can reason about API contract design — what crosses a service boundary, what must be a plain DTO vs a domain object, versioning
• Ability to own a feature end-to-end: backend API → persistence → frontend rendering — without requiring architecture sign-off on every step
• Ability to recognise when a configuration-driven approach saves a code change per customer, and build for that
• Ability to write tests that cover the contract, not just the happy path
• Ability to flag security and data-isolation risks during design, not after deployment
• Ability to contribute to code review and leave the codebase cleaner than you found it
