• 8+ years of professional backend software engineering experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.x.
• Experience designing and developing microservices in production environments.
• Strong production experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Experience with Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, Cloud Workflows, and Cloud Scheduler.
• Strong understanding of event-driven architecture and messaging patterns, including idempotency, retries, and dead-letter handling.
• Strong PostgreSQL experience, including schema design, indexing, and versioned database migrations.
• Hands-on experience building integrations using REST, SOAP, SFTP, and webhooks.
• Experience implementing API security using OAuth 2.0 / OIDC and JWT.
• Experience with automated testing, including JUnit and integration testing.
• Experience with CI/CD, code reviews, and production deployments.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Technologies & Experience

• Eventarc and asynchronous cloud architectures.
• Workflow technologies such as Flowable and BPMN.
• Business rules engines.
• Experience with payment processing integrations, including payment flows and reconciliation.
• Experience working in government or regulated environments, such as HIPAA, FIPS, or CJIS.
• Google Cloud Professional certifications.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement Java 21 / Spring Boot microservices running on Cloud Run.
• Build backend services supporting areas such as licensing, case management, payments, documents, and notifications.
• Design and implement PostgreSQL/AlloyDB persistence, including data isolation and search capabilities.
• Build asynchronous event-driven flows using Pub/Sub and Eventarc.
• Implement scheduled and timer-driven processing using Cloud Tasks and Cloud Scheduler.
• Develop multi-service orchestrations using Cloud Workflows.
• Build and maintain integrations with external state and federal systems through REST, SOAP, SFTP, and webhooks.
• Implement secure payment processing and settlement/reconciliation workflows.
• Ensure services meet security, encryption, and data-isolation requirements.
• Develop comprehensive unit and integration tests.
• Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, CI/CD, and production deployments.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines strong backend engineering fundamentals with hands-on cloud and integration experience. You should be comfortable working independently, solving complex technical problems, and collaborating with both engineering teams and customer stakeholders.

If you have strong Java/Spring Boot + GCP + event-driven architecture + integrations experience, we’d love to hear from you.
