  • Integrate services with workflow platforms such as Temporal.io or Camunda.
  • Help refine AI-native engineering standards under the Tech Lead
  • Deliver features end-to-end with the AI-Native Tech Lead, data, and adjacent teams.
  • Participate in design discussions and code reviews.
  • Follow secure coding and SDLC standards; support production issues.
  • Contribute to CI/CD, DevSecOps, and cloud-native deploys (OpenShift/Kubernetes, AWS).

Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years professional backend / enterprise software engineering.
  • Strong Java, Spring Boot, and microservices, including REST APIs and integrations.
  • Production delivery using AI-assisted tools (Claude, Copilot, or similar) in daily work.
  • Strong debugging, code review, and ownership of quality.
  • Relational databases / SQL (PostgreSQL or Oracle), data modeling, and performance tuning.
  • Event-driven / distributed systems.
  • CI/CD, DevOps, and containers/cloud (OpenShift, Kubernetes, AWS).
  • Exposure to workflow orchestration (Temporal, Camunda, Flowable, jBPM, or Drools).
  • BS/MS in CS, IT, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • Agile experience (SAFe preferred).
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Deeper Temporal.io / decision-automation experience.
  • AI-native development standards and governance for AI-assisted code.
  • Shared platforms, internal developer tools, or automation.
  • Healthcare IT or other regulated environments.
