We're seeking a Software Engineer with strong Java and AI/ML experience to design, build, and maintain secure, scalable enterprise applications. You'll collaborate with cross‑functional teams and own services end‑to‑end—from REST APIs and microservices to modern front‑end development, AI‑powered features, and automated testing.

About The Role

• Design, develop, and maintain end‑to‑end Java applications using Java and modern front‑end frameworks.
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities (e.g., NLP/LLMs, recommendation, classification) into services and user experiences.
• Implement and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, contract, end‑to‑end) and test data pipelines.
• Optimize applications and models for speed, scalability, cost, and reliability.
• Ensure application security, data protection, model safety, and privacy (PII handling, guardrails).
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and contribute to sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Operate services in production (observability, incident response, performance tuning).
  
  
  

About You:

• 3+ years of professional experience in Java/J2EE development.
• Solid understanding of RESTful API design and microservices architecture.
• Experience with SQL databases; able to design performant schemas and queries.
• Hands‑on with AI/ML: integrating models into applications, calling hosted LLMs, or serving in‑house models.
• Proficiency with at least one ML/NLP toolkit or cloud AI services (AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML).
• Familiarity with LLM application patterns (prompt engineering, embeddings, RAG, vector databases) and model evaluation/guardrailing.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
• Excellent communication and problem‑solving skills; collaborative mindset.
• Ability to successfully pass an extended background check.
