Java Developer

As a Java Developer at Philips, you will be responsible for creating Java Micro Services using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, deploying applications in cloud environments like AWS, and ensuring seamless integration of backend services with client-side technologies. You will also provide technical guidance to junior team members and contribute to designing user-friendly layouts that meet usability requirements.

Philips requires candidates for the Java Developer position to hold a B.E, B.Tech, or M.C.A degree, with 6-8 years of software development experience in Java and Spring Boot. The ideal candidate should have strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively in a team.

A Java Developer at Philips should have hands-on experience with tools and technologies such as AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB), Docker, Terraform, and databases including PostgreSQL and DynamoDB. Familiarity with client-side scripting using JavaScript and frameworks like AngularJS is also beneficial.

Philips promotes a hybrid work environment, encouraging team collaboration while enabling flexibility. As a Java Developer, you'll work in-person at least three days a week, fostering communication and teamwork to achieve innovative solutions in the health technology sector.

The primary goal of the Java Developer role at Philips is to help create impactful health technology solutions that improve access to quality healthcare. Through your technical expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and cloud technologies, you will contribute to projects that make a significant difference in people's lives.

To ensure the performance of Java Microservices, I focus on writing efficient code, applying best practices for optimization, conducting load testing, and using monitoring tools to analyze performance metrics. This proactive approach helps in identifying bottlenecks and improving service response times.

In previous projects, I extensively used AWS services like EC2 for computing power, S3 for storage, and Lambda for serverless computing. I also employed RDS for relational database management and API Gateway for creating RESTful APIs, ensuring secure and scalable cloud-based applications.

One of the primary challenges I've encountered is ensuring that the backend APIs are designed to handle various request scenarios efficiently. Clear communication with front-end developers is key, as it helps create a loosely coupled architecture, reducing dependencies and allowing for better overall system performance.

I believe in fostering an open and collaborative environment where junior developers feel comfortable seeking help. I often conduct code reviews, share best practices, and encourage discussions during team meetings to help them develop their skills and gain confidence in their coding abilities.

I adhere to principles such as DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself), KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and SOLID principles. These guide me in creating efficient, maintainable, and scalable software solutions that can easily adapt to changes in requirements.

In a recent project, I utilized Docker to containerize our Java applications, ensuring consistent deployment across different environments. This greatly simplified the deployment process and improved our CI/CD pipeline, enabling quicker iterations and better resource management.

I actively participate in online courses, attend tech meetups, and read industry blogs and documentation. Additionally, I contribute to open-source projects, which not only enhances my skills but also keeps me in touch with the latest advancements in Java and cloud technologies.

To manage tight deadlines, I prioritize tasks based on their importance and urgency. I also maintain open communication with my team to ensure we're aligned on our goals and adjust our workflow as needed to meet project timelines without compromising on quality.

I have significant experience working in Agile environments, participating in sprints, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. This methodology has taught me the importance of flexibility, frequent feedback, and collaboration, which enhance the overall development process.

I focus on writing clear, modular code that follows established coding standards. I also utilize design patterns and thorough documentation to make it easier for other developers to understand and maintain my code in the future.
