Key Skill: OAuth 2.0 / OIDC

 

Act as the technical expert and implementation specialist, partnering with the architect to design and build scalable, secure, and high-performance enterprise applications. The role is deeply hands-on, with a strong focus on Java-based microservices, Azure API Gateway integrations, hybrid connectivity, and secure cloud adoption.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop core application services using Java, Spring Boot, and RESTful APIs.
• Collaborate with the architect to define service boundaries, API contracts, and data models.
• Implement and manage Azure API Gateway integrations, including policies for authentication, throttling, and observability.
• Develop secure, token-based integrations using OAuth 2.0 / OIDC and Azure Key Vault.
• Build and optimize microservices and event-driven components for transactional and data-intensive workloads.
• Integrate with Azure services such as Event Hub, Cosmos DB, and Functions to enable hybrid architectures.
• Contribute to data pipelines and messaging frameworks supporting analytics and telemetry.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across distributed systems, ensuring performance and reliability.
• Implement observability best practices — structured logging, metrics, and tracing across services.
• Participate in architecture reviews and bring forward practical, forward-looking technology solutions aligned with enterprise standards.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 10–12 years of experience in enterprise application development, with deep hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and distributed systems.
• Strong working knowledge of Azure API Management (API Gateway) — including policy design, security configuration, and gateway-service integrations.
• Experience with Azure cloud components such as App Services, Functions, Cosmos DB, Event Hub, and Key Vault.
• Solid understanding of hybrid integration patterns, including secure on-prem ↔ cloud connectivity.
• Proven ability to implement API security, identity, and encryption best practices.
• Familiarity with data pipelines, asynchronous messaging (Kafka/Event Hub), and observability tooling.
• Exposure to AI/ML or analytics workflows is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills; able to design and code at production level.
