• Contribute to Python‑based services when needed
• Work with analytics and data insights to support decisions
• Follow SDLC best practices: testing, code reviews, documentation

Requirements

• 10+ years in Java engineering
• Strong experience with microservices / distributed systems
• Very solid knowledge of AWS services
