Java Solution Architect

Capgemini • Atlanta, GA

1d • $100,000 - $118,650

About The Position

As the Solution Architect, you will bridge high-throughput microservices and resilient data platforms, serving as the principal architectural authority for designing highly available, low-latency, event-driven enterprise solutions in a cloud platform. The role focuses on a near-real-time caching platform that ingests high-volume account-update events and provides sub-second lookups to downstream consumers.

You will establish architecture and engineering standards across Java and Spring Boot microservices, asynchronous messaging, data platforms, and cloud deployment. You will also lead architecture reviews, document decisions, mentor technical leads, and encourage AI-assisted engineering.

Requirements

• At least 8 years of experience with primary skills: Java 17/21, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Spring Data JPA, Spring Integration, microservices, caching patterns, SQL, NoSQL, event-driven architecture, and AI-assisted engineering.
• At least 2 years of experience with secondary skills: Amazon EKS, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, PostgreSQL, AWS integration, AWS SQS/SNS/EventBridge, Kafka autoscaling, networking, IAM, and CI/CD.

Responsibilities

• Architect an end-to-end near-real-time caching platform to ingest high-volume account update events from event brokers and serve sub-second lookups to downstream consumers.
• Define caching patterns, including cache-aside, read-through, and write-behind, along with invalidation, time-to-live (TTL), and data-consistency rules.
• Set standards for Java 17/21 and Spring Boot microservices, REST API contracts, and resilience patterns.
• Design asynchronous messaging flows across Kafka, SQS, SNS, and EventBridge.
• Guide PostgreSQL data modeling, partitioning, indexing, and retention.
• Define deployment approaches using EKS, Kubernetes, and Helm.
• Work with platform and security teams on networking and IAM.
• Lead architecture reviews and write architecture decision records (ADRs).
• Mentor tech leads and drive the use of AI-assisted engineering.

Benefits

• Paid time off, including vacation (12–25 days depending on employee grade), company-paid holidays, personal days, and sick leave, according to policy.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, or provincial healthcare coordination in Canada, subject to local policy and eligibility.
• Retirement savings plans, such as a 401(k) in the U.S. or RRSP in Canada.
• Life and disability insurance.
• Employee assistance programs.
• Other benefits as provided by local policy and eligibility.
