Strong Backend Software Engineer Profile with strong Core Java expertise

2

Mandatory (Experience 1): Must have 2+ years of hands-on backend software engineering experience.

3

Mandatory (Experience 2): Must be able to design and implement moderately complex features with minimal supervision, and contribute to system design and architecture discussions.

4

Mandatory (Experience 3): Must be comfortable owning business-critical production components — maintaining connectors, handling customer escalations, security fixes, bug fixes, and building new features end-to-end.

5

Mandatory (Tech skill 1): Must have strong, current Core Java depth with solid, clear coding fundamentals — Java is the primary skill for this role. Deep hands-on core engineering strength matters more than framework knowledge.

6

Mandatory (Tech skill 2): Must have strong core backend engineering fundamentals and experience with scalable systems (connectors handle millions of events/data points daily across customers).

7

Mandatory (Tech skill 3): Must have microservices experience.

8

Mandatory (AI Fluency): Must have demonstrated, hands-on use of AI coding assistants (Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) as a core part of the daily workflow — scaffolding, writing tests, reviewing code, and debugging — with the ability to write precise, effective prompts for production-quality output, decompose tasks so AI assistance is effective, and critically evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security, and standards before merging.

9

Mandatory (AI-Native): Must have actually built and deployed AI/LLM-powered features in production (e.g. RAG, LLM-based scoring, AI assistant) — demonstrable AI-native engineering, not merely using AI tools to write code.

10

Mandatory (Database): Hands-on database / JDBC integration experience in a production environment.

11

Mandatory (Company): Must come from a product company background (B2B SaaS or B2C both acceptable).

12

Mandatory (Note1): This is a 3-month contract role. Candidate must be comfortable with the contract engagement and able to join immediately (urgent — onboarding within ~a week)
