Java + Azure

As a Java Developer with Azure experience at Talworx, your main responsibilities will include designing, developing, and maintaining Java applications that leverage Azure cloud services. You'll implement RESTful APIs and microservices architecture, collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, and optimize application performance while troubleshooting any issues that arise.

To apply for the Java Developer position at Talworx, you should have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, along with over 5 years of Java development experience. A solid understanding of Azure cloud services, experience with RESTful APIs, and proficiency in SQL are also essential qualifications for this role.

Talworx supports the career growth of Java Developers by providing access to the latest training in Azure services and Java development practices. We encourage continuous learning and development, as well as collaboration with experienced professionals across the organization to foster knowledge sharing and skill enhancement.

The work environment for Java Developers at Talworx is dynamic and collaborative, focusing on teamwork and innovation. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, and our culture encourages open communication, creativity, and a problem-solving mindset, making for a fulfilling workplace experience.

While it's not a strict requirement, having experience with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes is a plus for the Java Developer position at Talworx. This experience can enhance your capabilities in deploying applications within the Azure environment.

When optimizing Java applications in Azure, I focus on leveraging Azure Monitor to track performance metrics, using Azure SQL Database for efficient data management, and implementing caching mechanisms to improve response times. Additionally, I analyze and adjust Azure resources based on application needs to ensure efficiency.

To ensure the quality of my Java code, I follow best practices such as adhering to coding standards, performing thorough unit testing, conducting peer code reviews, and utilizing tools for static code analysis. This approach helps identify potential issues early, enhancing overall code quality.

Microservices architecture is an approach that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services. It promotes scalability and resilience because each service can be developed, deployed, and managed independently. This architecture is crucial for modern applications, especially those deployed in a cloud environment like Azure.

One challenge I've faced when deploying applications to Azure is ensuring seamless integration of various Azure services. To overcome this, I prioritize thorough testing in a staging environment and utilize Azure's deployment slots to reduce downtime and simplify rollback if needed.

I stay up to date with the latest developments in Java and Azure by following relevant blogs, subscribing to industry newsletters, attending webinars, and participating in local tech meetups. Engaging with professional communities helps me gain insights into emerging tools and trends.

My experience with CI/CD tools in Azure involves using Azure DevOps to create automated pipelines for building, testing, and deploying Java applications. I appreciate how these tools streamline the release process and contribute to faster turnaround times, allowing for more frequent updates and fixes.

Key considerations when working with RESTful APIs include ensuring proper authentication, handling error responses effectively, maintaining statelessness, and designing APIs that are user-friendly and intuitive. Good documentation is also essential for facilitating integration with front-end systems.

My approach to troubleshooting performance issues in Azure involves using monitoring tools such as Azure Monitor and Application Insights to pinpoint bottlenecks. I analyze resource utilization, review application logs, and make adjustments as needed to optimize performance.

My process for gathering requirements involves engaging stakeholders through meetings and interviews, utilizing surveys, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. I also document requirements clearly and validate them through user feedback to ensure alignment with business objectives.

Technical documentation is crucial as it serves as a reference for developers and stakeholders to understand the architecture, functionality, and usage of applications. Good documentation reduces onboarding time for new team members and ensures consistency in maintaining and updating the software.
