Build and manage CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Artifactory
Integrate and maintain AppDynamics for real-time JVM performance monitoring
Document migration steps, rollback procedures, and test cases in Confluence
Support functional and integration testing during infrastructure transitions.
Track progress, risks, and testing efforts using Jira
Work in close partnership with Infrastructure, Security, and Application Development teams

About you
Minimum of 7+ years of hands-on experience with Java (8+), Spring Boot, JPA/Hibernate, and REST APIs
Solid experience deploying applications using Embedded Tomcat in Linux VM environments
Proven track record in migrating or modernizing legacy Java applications.
Sound understanding of web service protocols: REST, SOAP, SFTP, and scheduled jobs
In-depth knowledge of infrastructure components: TLS, firewalls, DNS, and system services
Comfortable working in Linux environments, especially Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Hands-on experience in integrating with IBM MQ for reliable messaging and enterprise system communication
Strong troubleshooting skills across distributed systems
Experienced working in DevOps-driven environments with CI/CD pipelines, version control, and automated deployments
Team-focused with a proactive mindset and a passion for continuous improvement
Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
Ability to work independently and manage priorities in fast-paced and dynamic environments
Nice to have:
Experience with Puppet for configuration management
Experience working with financial messaging protocols such as SWIFT or ISO 20022
Familiarity with ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for logging and monitoring
Exposure to data centre or cloud migration projects
If you're a seasoned Java developer with a passion for tackling complex infrastructure transitions and modernising legacy systems, we’d love to hear from you.
