The role also includes developing and supporting shared components used by other teams. You will work directly with an established Java application and the Spring framework when an operational issue or platform change calls for code.

Your ImpactIn this role, you will:
Make targeted changes to Java services and shared capabilities, including dependency injection frameworks, feature toggles, caching, read/write routing and Kafka integrations, when needed to improve reliability or support a release.
What We’re Looking ForYou bring a software development background and enjoy the operational work that keeps applications reliable. You are comfortable working hands-on with established systems, investigating unfamiliar problems and learning from colleagues.
You work carefully, pay attention to detail and follow through to verify that changes have worked. You raise issues early, coordinate with others and help the team maintain a consistent level of quality.
