5+ years. 20M+ accounts. Zero production incidents. Now I'm looking for what's next. I've spent the last few years building high-throughput financial systems at PayPal, Volkswagen Group, and TCS — and I'm actively exploring my next backend engineering role. 🎯 Open to: SDE / SDE-2 · Senior Software Engineer · Senior Java Developer · Backend Engineer 📍 Bangalore · Hyderabad · Pune · Mumbai · Gurugram · Remote · Open to Relocation A few highlights: 🏦 Architected IRS 1099K tax compliance engine at PayPal — 20M+ accounts across PayPal & Venmo, 5 microservices, hard regulatory deadline, zero production incidents ☁️ Reduced AWS infrastructure costs by $5,000–$10,000 annually. ⚡ Improved API response times by ~35% with Spring Boot server-side caching 🚀 Cut CI/CD deployment time by 40% via streamlined Git + Docker pipelines 💻 Stack: Java · Spring Boot · Spring Batch · Microservices · AWS · Docker · Distributed Systems · System Design · TDD I'm looking for roles where the engineering bar is high — complex systems, strong culture, real ownership. If your team is hiring or you know someone who is, a DM or tag would go a long way. 🙏 #OpenToWork #Java #SpringBoot #BackendEngineer #Hiring #SDE #Microservices
