Java Software Engineer

Software Engineer (Quarterly Contract Position)

Overview:

Build modern, cloud-native systems using cutting-edge frameworks.

An opportunity is available for a Software Engineer to work on scalable, event-driven microservices using Java, Quarkus, and Dapr. You’ll be building and running distributed systems in a cloud-native environment with strong DevOps practices and automated pipelines.

This is a hands-on engineering role where Quarkus and Dapr are used daily, not just listed as nice-to-haves.

What You will Be Doing

• Designing and building microservices using Java and Quarkus
• Developing event-driven and API-based systems (REST, gRPC, messaging)
• Using Dapr to implement service-to-service communication, pub/sub, state management, and workflows
• Building resilient systems with retries, circuit breakers, and fault tolerance
• Working with CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy services
• Deploying applications to container platforms such as Kubernetes
• Implementing logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing
• Collaborating in an agile team and contributing to technical decisions

What You will Need

• Strong Java experience (11+)
• Proven hands-on experience with Quarkus
• Proven hands-on experience with Dapr (sidecar model + at least one building block like pub/sub or state store)
• Experience building microservices and working with distributed systems
• Experience with REST APIs (gRPC is a bonus)
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes (or similar platforms)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines
• Solid understanding of software engineering best practices

Nice to Have

• Experience with event streaming or messaging platforms
• Familiarity with observability tools (metrics, logging, tracing)
• Experience with API gateways or service meshes
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience
• Knowledge of domain-driven design or clean architecture

Why This Role?

• Work with modern, in-demand technologies
• Build real-world distributed systems at scale
• Be part of a collaborative, engineering-focused environment
• Own what you build, from development to production
