Senior Software Engineer (HR)

As a Senior Software Engineer at ALTER SOLUTIONS, you'll be responsible for designing, building, and delivering applications that power our customer platforms. Your daily tasks will include collaborating with Product Managers, Business Analysts, and QA teams in an Agile setting to implement new features and troubleshoot existing applications.

To succeed in the Senior Software Engineer role at ALTER SOLUTIONS, you need to have at least 5 years of experience with Java, a solid understanding of Object-Oriented Principles and Design Patterns, and experience in building RESTful services using Spring Boot. You should also be proficient in SQL and have exposure to key technologies such as Hibernate, JPA, and Spring JDBC.

At ALTER SOLUTIONS, we value a collaborative and inclusive work culture, which is essential for our Senior Software Engineers. You’ll engage in regular integration events and benefit from our professional development support, which includes training, certifications, and soft skills training, fostering continuous growth and a positive work environment.

ALTER SOLUTIONS is committed to the career development of our Senior Software Engineers. You will have access to various local and international projects, along with opportunities for professional certifications and participation in conferences, all aimed at enhancing your career trajectory in the tech industry.

While the primary requirements for the Senior Software Engineer role at ALTER SOLUTIONS include Java expertise and experience in building applications, having skills in cloud integration (Azure, AWS, or GCP), familiarity with non-SQL databases like MongoDB, and knowledge of containerization tools such as Docker and Kubernetes will certainly give you an edge and enhance your contributions to our projects.

When designing scalable applications, I start by understanding the requirements and projections for growth. I focus on modular architecture and make use of design patterns that facilitate scalability. Utilizing cloud services for load balancing and adopting asynchronous messaging systems also plays a key role in ensuring the application can grow without performance bottlenecks.

Object-Oriented Principles, including encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism, are fundamental to creating maintainable and reusable code. They allow developers to model real-world entities and interactions within their software, improving both the organization and scalability of the applications.

I have extensive experience in creating RESTful services using Spring Boot. To ensure their efficiency, I follow best practices such as proper endpoint design, effective data retrieval techniques, and implementing caching strategies. I also conduct regular performance testing to identify bottlenecks and optimize response times.

I utilize Git for version control and follow a branching strategy that promotes collaboration and minimizes conflicts, such as Git Flow or Feature Branching. This allows for seamless integration of features while ensuring that the main branch remains stable and deployable.

In a previous role, I faced performance issues due to high traffic loads. I analyzed the bottlenecks, refactored critical services to use asynchronous processing, and implemented load balancing. This not only improved performance but also enhanced user experiences during peak times.

I use a combination of tools such as JUnit for unit testing, JMeter for performance testing, and Jenkins for continuous integration. These tools are crucial because they ensure that code changes don’t introduce new bugs, thus maintaining high software quality and enabling rapid and reliable deployment.

Effective communication is key when collaborating with non-technical team members. I ensure to present information in a clear and relatable manner, using visuals or analogies when appropriate. Regular check-ins and updates keep everyone on the same page and ensure we align on project goals.

I have been part of Agile teams for several years, actively participating in sprints, stand-ups, and retrospective meetings. I find Agile methodologies highly effective for fostering team communication and allowing for flexibility and rapid iterations of project deliverables.

My understanding of multi-threading and concurrency revolves around managing the execution of processes that can run simultaneously. This means utilizing shared resources efficiently, avoiding race conditions, and focusing on synchronization principles to ensure thread safety.

I am drawn to ALTER SOLUTIONS because of its commitment to delivering high-quality IT services and fostering employee growth. I admire the international aspect of the projects and the collaborative, innovative atmosphere which aligns perfectly with my aspirations and professional values.
