Senior Java Developer

About the role

United States Cold Storage owns and operates one of the most complex temperature-controlled logistics networks in North America. We are seeking a Senior Java Developer to join our team of over 100 engineers who build the logistics and warehouse management systems that power our national cold chain operations.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement solutions to complex logistics domain problems, including distributed systems challenges like eventual consistency, idempotency, and transaction handling.
• Write production-quality code that is clean, well-tested, and maintainable — and hold that bar in code reviews.
• Build observability into your work: logging, metrics, alerting, and tracing that make systems understandable in production.
• Partner with Platform and Site Reliability teams to ensure your services are resilient, recoverable, and operationally sound.
• Contribute to technical design and architecture decisions within your team and across dependent systems.
• Write and maintain automated tests — unit, integration, and contract — as a first-class part of delivery.
• Identify and help address technical debt in a pragmatic, prioritized way.
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence within your scrum team.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 8+ years of professional software development experience.
• Expert-level Java and Spring ecosystem knowledge.
• Strong foundation in architectural and coding principles — 12-factor apps, SOLID, clean code.
• Experience with event-driven patterns and message brokers such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Track record of building observable, production-ready systems with meaningful test coverage.
• Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, or equivalent).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.
• Proficiency in data modeling and query optimization across both relational and non-relational databases.
• Experience designing and documenting APIs (REST, OpenAPI).
• Familiarity with distributed systems patterns such as circuit breakers, retries, idempotency, and the saga pattern.

Preferred Experience

• Azure or other major cloud platform experience.
• Logistics, warehousing, or supply chain domain knowledge.

Technical Environment

• Distributed engineering organization across the U.S., Colombia and more.
• Azure and OCI Multi-Region Infrastructure.
• Java monoliths and microservices with Spring and Hibernate.
• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible.
• GitHub Actions and Jenkins for CI/CD.
• Observability using Dynatrace and Azure Monitor.
