Day to day:

Core Backend Development

• Design, build, and own complex backend services and APIs using Java (Spring Boot / Spring Framework), with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and correctness
• Deliver new modules including: change and cancellation processing, waitlist capability, and policy engine integration across the workforce travel platform
• Implement & consume RESTful APIs and SOAP/Web Services that integrate with airline GDS systems, internal booking engines, and third‑party workforce platforms
• Build robust, fault‑tolerant service components capable of handling high‑volume, time‑critical travel booking workflows
• 
  

System Reliability & Observability

• Ensure the platform maintains high uptime, this is a mission‑critical system for workforce travel operations; downtime has direct operational impact
• Instrument services with Datadog, including APM tracing, custom metrics, log correlation, and dashboard creation to provide full observability across the travel workflow stack
• Define and monitor SLOs/SLIs, respond to incidents, and lead post‑incident reviews to drive continuous reliability improvement
• Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, memory issues, and degradation patterns before they impact customers
• 
  

Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Lead technical design for new capabilities, producing clear architecture and API design documentation before implementation
• Conduct rigorous code reviews and hold the team to high standards for API design, exception handling, test coverage, and service contract quality
• Identify and reduce technical debt, particularly around legacy integration patterns, file‑based data exchange, and monolithic components
• Mentor and support junior and mid‑level engineers, particularly on Java best practices, Spring internals, and API design
