• Develop backend services using J2EE technologies including Java, IBM MQ, SQL, and ORM frameworks.
• Write and manage complex SQL statements, stored procedures, and user-defined functions.
• Integrate MDM platforms with enterprise applications using JAX-WS web services, message brokers like MQ and Kafka, and batch or ETL pipelines.
• Ensure the integrity and consistency of data across relational databases, primarily IBM LUW DB2.
• Participate in enterprise-wide integration activities and collaborate closely with support, database, and infrastructure teams.
• Contribute to the software design process and engage with stakeholders for requirements and technical discussions.
• Mentor junior developers and advocate best practices in development, testing, and deployment.
• Uphold coding standards, maintain version control using Git-based repositories, and apply CI/CD methodologies.

• Familiarity with source control systems such as GitHub, Bitbucket, or Git.
• Background in large-scale system integration using web services (JAX-WS), messaging systems (MQ, Kafka), and ETL or batch processing pipelines.
• Knowledge of IBM MDM development, including transaction and event frameworks, and IBM WebSphere administration for configuration and troubleshooting.
• Strong J2EE developers without prior MDM experience are also encouraged to apply.
• Understanding of customer data domains and financial services is advantageous.

Preferred Skills
