About the Job: Infoya is seeking a hands-on Lead Java Developer who is already
operating at a technical lead level and demonstrates the curiosity, judgment,
and enthusiasm to grow into broader architecture ownership. This role will help
shape efficient, scalable solutions by
connecting business needs, application design flows, integration patterns, and
cloud architecture with high-quality engineering execution.
The ideal
candidate combines deep Java and Spring expertise with strong systems-design
capability. You will remain close to the code while guiding solution design,
reviewing technical decisions, mentoring developers, and collaborating with
product, engineering, infrastructure, architecture, and business stakeholders.
Office Location: Toronto

Work Arrangement: Hybrid (2 days in office)
Position Responsibilities:
- Lead the design, development, optimization, and
support of scalable Java and Spring Boot microservices for high-traffic
e-commerce applications. - Translate business and product requirements into
clear application flows, component designs, integration patterns, and pragmatic
technical solutions. - Contribute to application, integration, API, and
data architecture standards across the e-commerce portfolio. - Design secure RESTful APIs, event-driven
services, distributed workflows, and resilient integrations using technologies
such as Pub/Sub, Kafka, or RabbitMQ. - Evaluate and recommend frameworks, databases,
cloud services, and architectural patterns based on scalability, reliability,
maintainability, security, and cost. - Review solution designs, code, and technical
documentation; identify risks early and support architecture governance and
