Role: Backend Engineer (Core/API)
Team: Back Office Operations & Global Business Finance Technology
Location: Mumbai, India
Level: Mid Level (typically 8-12 years of experience)
Position Overview
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to build and evolve the services that power our
operations platform—core domain services, API contracts, integrations, and data pipelines.
Depending on experience and team needs, you may focus on domain modeling and API
foundations or on building connectors and integration patterns; strong candidates are
comfortable across both.
You’ll work primarily in Java/Spring, building services that are correct, secure, observable, and
maintainable. Our platforms support Operations and Finance workflows where data accuracy,
auditability, and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether you’re designing a domain model,
implementing an auth pattern, or wiring up a retry-safe integration with an external vendor, you
bring the same engineering discipline and care.
This role begins as a consulting engagement with a right-to-hire path.
What You’ll Do
- Build and evolve backend services: domain models, API contracts, persistence layers,
and shared service foundations.
- Design and implement integrations with external vendors, internal services, and
enterprise data systems—with robust retry, timeout, and idempotency patterns.
- Apply domain-driven design principles: bounded contexts, aggregates, clear service
boundaries that reflect business realities.
- Design RESTful APIs with disciplined contract management: versioning, backward
compatibility, clear error handling, and comprehensive documentation.
- Implement authentication, authorization, and audit trail patterns that are secure and
consistent across the platform.
- Build messaging-based and event-driven integrations with clear data contracts,
transformation logic, and exception handling.
- Map and transform data between systems: understand source/target schemas,
reconciliation requirements, and business rules governing data flow.
- Ensure production readiness: observability (structured logging, metrics, tracing),
performance awareness, and failure-mode thinking across all services and integrations.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute to architectural standards—helping the team
build consistently on proven patterns.
- Use AI tools to accelerate development (analysis, test generation, refactoring, data
mapping), while maintaining strong validation and engineering rigor.
What We’re Looking For
- 8-12 years of backend software engineering experience with strong depth in Java
(Spring Boot, Spring Security, modern Java 17+).
- Experience across both core service development (domain modeling, API design,
persistence) and integration work (connectors, messaging, data pipelines).
- Solid understanding of domain-driven design (DDD) and RESTful API design, including
versioning and contract-first development.
- Strong knowledge of persistence patterns: relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL
Server), query optimization, and data modeling.
- Experience with integration patterns: messaging/REST, retries and idempotency, circuit
breakers, failure handling, and data mapping across system boundaries.
- Proven observability practice: structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics, and
alerting.
- A commitment to clean, testable code: strong testing discipline, thoughtful abstractions,
and careful review habits.
- A detail-oriented mindset: you think about edge cases, failure modes, and what happens
when the happy path breaks.
- Strong communication skills; you can collaborate effectively across distributed teams
and time zones.
Nice to Have
- Experience with event-driven architecture and messaging systems (Azure Event Hubs,
Kafka, or similar).
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration (Temporal or similar) and its integration with
backend services.
- Experience with NoSQL data stores (MongoDB, CosmosDB) and polyglot persistence
strategies.
- Exposure to SFTP, file-based integrations, and batch processing in enterprise
environments.
- Experience in financial services, operations, or control-oriented domains where data
correctness and auditability are critical.
