Lead Java Developer

About the Job: Infoya is seeking a hands-on Lead Java Developer who is already
operating at a technical lead level and demonstrates the curiosity, judgment,
and enthusiasm to grow into broader architecture ownership. This role will help
shape efficient, scalable solutions by
connecting business needs, application design flows, integration patterns, and
cloud architecture with high-quality engineering execution.

The ideal
candidate combines deep Java and Spring expertise with strong systems-design
capability. You will remain close to the code while guiding solution design,
reviewing technical decisions, mentoring developers, and collaborating with
product, engineering, infrastructure, architecture, and business stakeholders.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, optimization, and
  support of scalable Java and Spring Boot microservices for high-traffic
  e-commerce applications.

  into cloud-native services.
  
• Build for security, compliance, observability,
  high availability, performance, and production resilience from the outset.
  
• Investigate complex production issues, conduct
  root-cause analysis, and improve platform stability and performance.
