OTAKOYI

OTAKOYI is looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Java Back-end Developer to join our client’s team. If you're driven by solving complex problems, thrive on technical challenges, and value continuous growth — this opportunity is for you.

About the Project
Become part of an innovative AI-powered Sales and Marketing application initiative designed to automate and enhance business workflows. The project focuses on deep integration with both internal and external APIs and involves the migration from a monolithic architecture to a robust microservices-based solution.

We are looking for someone who brings not only strong technical expertise but also a creative and innovative mindset in approaching challenges and building solutions.
In our team, working with AI tools is a must.

You should feel comfortable integrating tools like:

• Cursor — an AI-native IDE that helps streamline code writing, refactoring, and debugging;
• Claude, ChatGPT, Bolt AI — for technical research, idea validation, documentation, and even architecture design;
• GitHub Copilot — for in-line code suggestions, testing support, and faster prototyping.

We seek someone who not only uses AI in daily development processes but thinks with AI, treating it as a partner in creating scalable, modern software systems.

Required Skills

• Proficiency in Java (17+) for back-end development, with solid hands-on experience using Spring Boot.
• Practical experience with Docker and containerized application development.
• Familiarity with Microsoft Azure cloud services.
• Strong skills in designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Understanding of microservices architecture and related design patterns.
• Experience working with on-premise and cloud-based deployment environments.
• Knowledge of secure coding practices and back-end security standards.
• Familiarity with strategies for scalability and performance optimization in backend services.
• Experience with monitoring tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack.
• Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or equivalents.
• Strong working knowledge of version control systems, particularly Git.
• Expertise in both relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB).
• A creative and innovative mindset in approaching challenges and solutions.
• Comfortable working with AI tools in daily development processes.

• Advanced English proficiency (spoken and written) in excellent communication and collaboration skills.

   

Preferred Skills

• Working knowledge of Kotlin, particularly in back-end contexts

   

Responsibilities:

• Maintain and continuously improve existing applications.
• Design and implement new features and enhancements.
• Refactor and decompose monolithic modules into microservices.
• Work collaboratively with team members and cross-functional teams.
• Develop new integrations with both internal and external systems.
