Software Engineer II - Java, SQL

Responsible for independently delivering Java-based backend features and database integrations. This role involves designing, developing, and maintaining backend services and APIs using Java, writing clean and secure code, and optimizing database schemas and queries. The engineer will participate in system design, review code, troubleshoot production issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions, ensuring high-quality deliveries through automated testing and CI/CD practices.

Must Have

• Design and develop Java backend services and APIs.
• Optimize database schemas, queries, and transactions.
• Write clean, efficient, and secure code.
• Troubleshoot production issues and implement fixes.
• Apply automated testing, CI/CD, and version control.
• Strong Object-Oriented Programming skills.
• Proficiency in Java programming language.
• Experience with relational databases and SQL.
• Understanding of data structures and algorithms.

Good to Have

• Basic front-end understanding (JavaScript, ReactJS, Node.js, HTML, CSS)
• Knowledge of Hibernate and Spring framework
• Functional knowledge of supply chain management
• Experience with enterprise integration patterns (SOAP, REST, EDI)
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization
• Interest in AI/ML concepts and intelligent automation

Scope:

Responsible for independently delivering Java-based backend features and database integrations, while contributing to design, performance optimization, and continuous improvement efforts.

Our current technical environment:

• Software: Java 8, Oracle Sql, any Sql Database, Basic understanding of OOPs, Design patterns, Basic Front end understanding, basic understanding of Data Structures, javascript/react js, Node js.
• Application Architecture: Service Networking Overlay, aiming for a single, cloud-agnostic architecture that simplifies policy management across public/private clouds via components like service meshes, API gateways, and centralized control planes, allowing consistent security and traffic flow (like a modern microservices approach), differing from simple client-server models by abstracting network complexity.
• Cloud Architecture: Cloud-Agnostic: Runs consistently across different cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premise.
• Frameworks/Others: Good to know Hibernate and Spring framework.

What you’ll do:

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Java and if needed frameworks such as Spring/Spring Boot.
• Write clean, efficient, and secure code while following coding standards and best practices.
• Develop and optimize database schemas, queries, and transactions using relational databases (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
• Participate in system design discussions and contribute to improving scalability, performance, and reliability.
• Review code, provide constructive feedback, and mentor junior developers when needed.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement preventive fixes.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Apply automated testing, CI/CD practices, and version control to ensure high-quality deliveries.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, including cloud-native development and AI-driven engineering practices, and identify opportunities to apply them.

What we are looking for:

• Education: BE/ME or B Tech/M Tech in Computer Science, MCS or MCA in Computer Science, Supply Chain
• Years of Experience: 2.5 to 5 years

• Functional knowledge of supply chain management domain.
• Prior experience in development or consulting with an enterprise software vendor – preferably in supply chain planning or forecasting area.
• Experience with enterprise integration patterns & protocols, including SOAP, REST, EDI is a plus.
• Capable of building web interfaces using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
• Experience with newer web client technologies such as ReactJS preferred.
• Systems implementation skills: requirements/process analysis, conceptual and detailed design, configuration, testing, training, support
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containerization is a plus.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn emerging technologies, especially AI/ML concepts and intelligent automation.
• Strong problem-solving skills, ownership mindset, and effective collaboration and communication abilities.
