- Implement Spring Boot and Java dependency upgrades using approved migration patterns, ensuring upgrades are compatible with shared libraries, API contracts and platform standards.
- Build and maintain automated validation for upgrades, including unit, integration, contract, regression and security tests within CI/CD pipelines.
- Review code, providing actionable feedback on design alignment, API standards, security,



test quality, dependency management, resilience and maintainability.
- Identify recurring upgrade and testing issues, then convert proven solutions into reusable remediation patterns, libraries, documentation or automation.
- Prepare and execute production deployments in accordance with release, change-management and operational-readiness requirements.
- Provide warranty support following production releases, including investigation and remediation of defects, failed deployments, regressions and operational issues.

- Practical experience with Maven or Gradle, Git-based workflows, CI/CD pipelines and pull-request review.
- Experience with Renovate or similar dependency-management automation is highly desirable.
- Experience delivering Spring Boot and Java upgrades, including dependency remediation and automated validation.
- Knowledge of Kafka, event-driven integration, Kubernetes and cloud-based microservice environments.
- Strong understanding of secure coding, observability, logging, monitoring, resilience and production support.
