- Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related area and 4 years of experience in software engineering or a related area; OR a master's degree or equivalent in one of these fields and 2 years of experience in software engineering or a related area.
- Experience coding in object-oriented programming to develop large-scale backend retail applications.
- Experience designing and implementing highly scalable, fault-tolerant microservices and REST APIs in Java.
- Experience with database tuning, cleanup, and performance troubleshooting and analytics using AzureSQL and BigQuery.
- Experience building highly performant and optimized business flows and data pipelines using data structures and algorithms.
- Experience with health monitoring, trend analysis, and anomaly detection using Splunk and Grafana.
- Experience designing and developing a multi-tenant reverse logistics platform using MVC architecture, Apache Camel, and Apache Spring.
- Experience deploying production systems, maintaining service availability, and performing DevOps using Azure Cloud and on-premises cloud.
- Experience designing asynchronous systems for distributed, high-performance supply chain services using Apache Kafka, JMS, and IBMMQ.
- Experience debugging and directing root cause analysis using Dynatrace, SQL, and BigQuery.
