- Ensure secure application access by implementing OAuth2 and JWT authentication standards.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams within an Agile framework to meet end-of-year project milestones.

Required Skills


- Experience: 8+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, with at least 3+ years of direct experience in cloud migration and architecture.
- Core Backend: Strong foundational background in Java development.
- Cloud & Containerization: Extensive hands-on experience with AWS, EKS, and Kubernetes (specifically requires deep knowledge of Helm charts and the Single-Threaded Owner model).
- Security: Solid understanding and implementation experience with OAuth2 and JWT.
- Methodology: Proven experience working efficiently within an Agile environment.
