About the role

My client—a national convenience & fuel retailer—is modernizing their point-of-sale (POS) platform. We’re looking for a Lead Java Developer to drive design and delivery of cloud-native, event-driven services that power store operations .

What you’ll do

Own delivery end-to-end : translate high-level requirements into technical designs and working software across the full SDLC.
Lead a small squad : guide 2–3 engineers plus a project manager; break down epics into stories, plan sprints, and assign work.
Architect microservices : design resilient, scalable Spring Boot services and APIs for POS, pricing, promotions, loyalty, and payments integrations.
Event-driven pipelines : build and operate Kafka (or similar) topics, consumer groups, DLQs, retry / compensation logic, and retention policies.
Cloud-first buildout : design for reliability, performance, and cost on any major cloud (AWS / GCP / Azure); leverage managed services appropriately.
Kubernetes delivery : containerize services, define deployment / config best practices, and tune resource requests / limits and autoscaling.
Data modeling & performance : design for distributed data; optimize schemas and queries across relational and non-relational datastores.
Quality & operations : enforce code quality, testing strategies, and CI / CD; instrument with logs / metrics / traces; drive root-cause analysis.
Cross-functional collaboration : work with product, security, payments, and store ops; partner with offshore teams to deliver at pace.
Standards & compliance : adhere to PCI and internal controls; document architecture, runbooks, and test strategies.

What you’ll bring

8+ years professional software development with 3+ years technical leadership (mentoring, design reviews, backlog ownership).

Strong Java 11+ and Spring Boot expertise building distributed systems and RESTful services (gRPC a plus).

Kafka (or compatible) experience : retention strategies, failure handling, DLQs, idempotency, and delivery semantics.

Cloud experience on at least one major provider (AWS / GCP / Azure), with comfort evaluating managed services and tradeoffs.

Kubernetes & Docker : deploy, configure, and operate microservices; familiarity with Helm / Kustomize and best practices.

Datastores : deep SQL skills and performance tuning on relational databases (e.g., Postgres / SQL Server / MySQL) and hands-on with non-relational databases (e.g., document or column-oriented stores).

Testing & CI / CD : JUnit / Testcontainers, contract testing; pipelines using GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps / Jenkins / GitLab, feature flags, blue / green or canary.

Observability & resilience : tracing / metrics / logging (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus / Grafana / cloud-native), circuit breakers, retries, backoff.

Security-first mindset : OAuth2 / OIDC, secrets management, least privilege, and PCI considerations for payments flows.

Retail / POS domain experience strongly preferred (payments / EMV, offline-first sync, store / edge deployments).

Nice to have

Experience leading large store rollouts or multi-region deployments.

Familiarity with message reprocessing strategies and outbox / inbox patterns.

Exposure to DDD / event sourcing and API gateways (rate limiting, zero-downtime migrations).

Performance tuning under store-level constraints (limited bandwidth, intermittent connectivity).

What you’ll impact

A modern, reliable POS backbone for thousands of daily transactions

Reduced store downtime and faster feature delivery

Clear engineering standards and a high-performing delivery culture

This is a full-time, onsite-only role, and the client does not offer sponsorship.
