Senior Specialist, Java/AI Engineer

We9re seeking a future team member for the role of Senior SpecialistJava/AI Engineer to join our Enterprise Data & Solutions Engineering team. This role is located in Lake Mary, Florida, FL

In this role, you9ll make an impact in the following ways:

• Core Java and Spring Boot: REST controllers, dependency injection, configuration management, data access (JPA/JDBC), concurrency basics, and exception handling.
• Implement well-architected Java/Spring Boot microservices and APIs: build features, fix defects, and deliver production-ready code with strong testing.
• Apply AI-assisted coding and AI coding practices to speed up development (prompting, code suggestions, test generation), while ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability.
• Integrate AI features in applications (e.g., inference endpoints, prompt orchestration, RAG flows, embeddings) with guardrails, input/output validation, and auditability.
• Contribute to data access design and performance (RDBMS basics): write efficient queries, tune connection pools, and implement transactional integrity and error handling.
• Collaborate closely with tech leads and product partners to refine requirements, acceptance criteria, and sprint goals; maintain clean documentation (API contracts, ADRs, readmes).
• Support CI/CD pipeline tasks (builds, tests, artifacts, environment configs) and contribute to automated quality gates and release safety.
• Data/RDBMS fundamentals: SQL, schema/index basics, transactions/locking, query optimization, and connection pool tuning (HikariCP or similar).
• Middleware/integration: REST API design, JSON/Proto handling, authentication/authorization basics (OAuth2/OIDC), and resilience patterns (retry, circuit breaker).

To be successful in this role, we9re seeking the following:

• Bachelor9s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 2-6 years of hands-on experience building production software with Java/Spring/Spring Boot.
• Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools and integration of AI features with responsible-use practices.
• Working knowledge of RDBMS (Oracle or equivalent) and secure, performant data access in services.
• Experience contributing to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability.
• Prompt engineering for code/tests with verification steps; avoid blind acceptance of generated code.
• Implement guardrails for AI-enabled features (policy checks, content filters, PII safety) and robust telemetry of prompts/responses.
• Design deterministic wrappers around model calls (timeouts, retries, backoff, caching) and capture traceability for audit/compliance.
• Collaborate on evaluation harnesses for AI features (quality metrics, latency budgets, failure modes).
