- Ensure high‑quality code delivery within a highly regulated environment.

2. Database & SQL Expertise

• Use SQL extensively for data manipulation, performance analysis, and troubleshooting.
• Work with advanced SQL concepts such as CTEs, query plans, indexing, and optimization.
• Support complex data flows and ensure reliability and performance across systems.

3. Infrastructure & Deployment

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or UrbanCode.
• Work with cloud and infrastructure technologies such as AWS S3, SQS, SSM, KMS, etc.
• Support secure, compliant deployment practices aligned with regulatory expectations.

4. Collaboration & Communication

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Work effectively with teams in fast‑paced, structured environments.
• Adapt to processes, compliance frameworks, and a development environment with stringent oversight.

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

- Minimum 5+ years of hands‑on Java backend development. (Must Have)
