Role summary

Our Fortune Technology client, a global leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, is seeking a Senior Java Backend Engineer for a remote role. The position requires 7-10 years of experience with strong backend skills in Java or Go, particularly with Spring Boot or modern Go frameworks. Key technical requirements include extensive experience with AWS services (DynamoDB, MSK/Kinesis, ECS/EKS, IAM, S3) and Apache Kafka, including its producer/consumer APIs and administrative aspects. The role also emphasizes data streaming, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems fundamentals. Experience joining projects mid-flight and demonstrating productivity quickly is crucial. Preferred skills include Apache Flink, specific AWS Kinesis libraries, CDC frameworks like Debezium, DynamoDB single-table design, GitOps deployment patterns, and open table formats.
