This is a contract opportunity for a Senior Software Developer with a duration of 1 year, with the possibility of extension. This role is provisionally hybrid, based in Toronto. You will be responsible for creating and using APIs to translate functional specifications into working and tested applications. This includes developing detailed programming specifications, user interface designs, prototypes, writing and/or generating code, compiling data driven programs, conducting unit tests and debugging code.
...
Advantages
- Opportunity to work with modern technologies and a microservices-based architecture.
- Chance to contribute to high-impact projects.
- Hybrid work arrangement offers flexibility.
- Work with a team focused on continuous learning and improvement.
Responsibilities
- Detailed design and specification documents for RESTful APIs, including endpoints, request/response models, authentication, and error handling.
- Clean, scalable, and secure REST APIs built using Java and Spring Boot, adhering to best practices and company standards.
- Modular and decoupled microservices, designed and deployed independently, with clear inter-service communication protocols.
- Using APIs to develop application based on the business requirement to transform and route data.
- Comprehensive test coverage using tools like JUnit, Mockito, or Test Containers to ensure code reliability and prevent regressions.
- Efficient relational database schemas designed and implemented to support API data storage and retrieval.
- Profiled and optimized APIs for response time, memory usage, and throughput, ensuring high performance under load.
- Secure API calls with proper authentication (e.g., OAuth2, JWT), authorization, input validation, and protection against common vulnerabilities (OWASP).
- Dockized applications with configuration files, docker-compose scripts, and Kubernetes manifests (if applicable) for smooth deployment.
- Integrated monitoring (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) and logging (e.g., ELK stack, Logstash, or Splunk) for operational visibility.
- Produce clear documentation for developed systems such as design, deployment instructions, and operational guides.
- Regular code reviews, feedback sessions, and mentorship to junior developers, ensuring code quality and knowledge sharing.
- Weekly or sprint-based status updates on development progress, blockers, and delivered functionalities.
- Timely resolution of production issues, regression fixes, and performance improvements based on user feedback and testing.
- Available for any on-call on weekend for production issues.
Qualifications
