Roles and Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, maintainable Java applications using clean code principles and established design patterns.
• Write comprehensive, meaningful unit tests using JUnit and Mockito to ensure code correctness, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
• Apply test-driven development (TDD) practices to drive design, maximize coverage, and prevent regressions.
• Champion code quality through thorough code reviews, pair programming, and adherence to coding standards and best practices.
• Refactor and improve existing codebases to reduce technical debt and enhance readability, performance, and testability.
• Apply core Java concepts—collections, concurrency and multithreading, generics, streams, exception handling, and JVM memory management—to build robust solutions.
• Integrate automated unit testing, static code analysis, and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.
• Use tools such as SonarQube and JaCoCo to measure, enforce, and continuously improve code quality and test coverage.
• Build modular, reusable, and testable applications and APIs (REST web services) in Java.
• Collaborate with architects, business and application analysts, operations teams, and testing specialists to deliver reliable, secure, high-quality solutions.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex technical, performance, and reliability issues.
• Ensure information security standards and requirements are incorporated into all solutions.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, including AI-assisted development and automated test generation, and evaluate how they can improve quality and productivity.
