JAVA Backend, Scala

• ∙ Core Backend: Java 11/17+ (Spring Boot 3.x, Spring Batch, Spring Cloud Gateway, JPA/Hibernate); Scala (Akka Actors, Akka Streams, Play Framework)
• ∙ Data & Messaging: Apache Spark (batch invoice processing, portfolio analytics); Kafka (producers, consumers, Streams API); Elasticsearch
• ∙ Database: PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MongoDB; SQL optimisation; Flyway/Liquibase migrations
• ∙ Containers & IaC: Docker, Kubernetes (Helm awareness), Terraform IaC review
• ∙ Reporting & Integration: Jasper Reports; Talend ETL for bank/ERP integrations; RESTful API design
• ∙ Testing: JUnit 5, Mockito, ScalaTest/Specs2, Spock, REST-assured, SonarQube
• ∙ Agile & Tooling: Jira, Git (GitFlow/trunk-based), Jenkins/GitLab CI; Groovy (Gradle, Spock)

Key Responsibilities

• ∙ Develop, test, and deploy Java/Scala microservices for SCF modules: invoice ingestion, deal config, funder allocation, settlement, dynamic discounting.
• ∙ Build and maintain Spark batch/streaming jobs for invoice reconciliation, portfolio analytics, and financial reporting.
• ∙ Design and implement Kafka-based event pipelines for real-time invoice processing and multi-funder allocation.
• ∙ Integrate bank payment gateways and ERP connectors via Talend/REST APIs with idempotent, auditable flows.
• ∙ Write Jasper report templates for funder statements, utilisation reports, and regulatory disclosures.
• ∙ Participate in code reviews, sprint ceremonies, and technical design discussions; maintain unit test coverage ≥80%.
• ∙ Maintain Kubernetes manifests; troubleshoot production issues via Elasticsearch and Prometheus/Grafana.

Requirements

• ∙ 3–7 yrs backend software development (Mid: 3–5 yrs; Senior: 5–7 yrs).
• ∙ Strong Java (Spring Boot); Scala (Akka, Play) required.
• ∙ Production experience with Kafka or equivalent messaging (RabbitMQ, ActiveMQ).
• ∙ Hands-on Apache Spark for batch or streaming data processing.
• ∙ Working Docker and Kubernetes deployment knowledge.
• ∙ Financial services, payments, or trade finance experience preferred.
• ∙ Good to have: Groovy (Gradle, Spock); Talend ETL; Jasper Reports; Python for data scripting
