Position Overview

Element5 is looking for a highly motivated, technically exceptional Senior Software

Engineer with deep expertise in Java/J2EE based microservices to join our support

team.

This role is ideal for professionals who don't just patch issues, but thrive on

troubleshooting complex distributed system architectures, analyzing deep application

logs, and collaborating closely with Technical Architects and Core Engineering to ensure

permanent system reliability, scalability, and performance.

The ideal candidate must possess advanced code-level debugging skills, a proactive

site-reliability mindset, and a willingness to work in a 24/7 rotational shift

environment, including night shifts.

Technical Skills Required

• Strong experience in Java/J2EE and debugging Java-based microservices.
• Profound experience in analyzing logs, debugging complex system behaviors,

and troubleshooting production issues.

• Hands-on experience with production monitoring and observability tools (e.g.,

Datadog or similar) and ticketing systems.

• Strong knowledge of SQL and database querying; familiarity with large-scale

data systems (e.g., MongoDB, ElasticSearch) and distributed caching (e.g.,

Redis). Good understanding of application deployment, release processes,

and cloud environments (AWS).

• Solid DevOps knowledge and experience with CI/CD tools, containerization,

and orchestration (Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes) is a major advantage.

• Familiarity with workflow tools like Airflow, Temporal, or similar is a plus.

What We Are Looking For

• 4–6 years of experience in Application/Production Support or Development with

a strong lean toward production engineering.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent practical software

engineering experience.

• Sound knowledge of Design patterns and SOLID Design Principles to

ensure code-level patches and fixes are robust and scalable.

• Excellent debugging, root-cause analysis (RCA), and incident-handling

capabilities.

• The ability to "over-communicate" with exceptional articulation and

stakeholder management skills during high-pressure outages.

• An enhanced curiosity and a passion for automation—always looking for

modern ways to solve legacy system problems.

• Strong ownership mindset, attention to detail, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced

environment.

• Willingness to work in rotational/night shifts to ensure continuous production

uptime.
