About the role

A leading BFSI (banking, financial services & insurance) organisation is scaling its core-services platform. You'll join a mature engineering group modernising monolithic services into a Kafka-driven microservices estate on AWS.

This is a hands-on senior IC role — you'll design and ship production services, mentor two-three engineers, and take ownership of the reliability of the domain you lead.

What you'll do
  • Design, build and operate JVM microservices in Java 17 + Spring Boot 3.x

  • Own event-driven flows on Apache Kafka — schema design, delivery semantics, DLQs

  • Partner with SRE on production readiness — dashboards, alerts, SLOs

  • Code review + mentorship for 2–3 mid-level engineers

  • Contribute to architecture reviews and long-range technical planning

What we're looking for
  • 6+ years of production Java experience with recent Spring Boot

  • Strong Kafka fundamentals (partitioning, consumer groups, exactly-once)

  • AWS at working depth — ECS/EKS, RDS, MSK, CloudWatch

  • Comfort with distributed systems trade-offs (CAP, consistency, back-pressure)

  • Experience in BFSI, payments, or a similarly regulated domain

Nice to have
  • Kubernetes / Istio

  • Kotlin exposure

  • Prior experience in scale-up modernisation programmes

  • Contributions to open-source Java libraries

What you get
  • Compensation aligned with senior-IC market rates in Hyderabad

  • Hybrid schedule (3 days in Gachibowli, 2 remote)

  • Structured L&D budget + conference support

  • Direct recruiter and hiring-manager access — no black-hole applications

  • Structured, timely feedback after every stage

  • Honest guidance on compensation, notice period, and market

  • Onboarding support in the first 30 days after joining
