Dedicated Developer
A Java Spring Boot developer works only on your project, inside the tools and workflows of your team.

Java Development, Accelerated with AI
Code Review Support
Claude Code helps our engineers review pull requests for Spring Boot conventions, SOLID principles, security anti patterns and configuration mistakes before a tech lead signs off.
Security Checks
AI helps our engineers check Spring Boot services for OWASP Top 10 risks, vulnerable dependencies and injection flaws before the code reaches staging.
Performance Profiling
JDK Flight Recorder and Micrometer JVM metrics track memory use, garbage collection and API response times, and AI helps our engineers trace a regression to its cause before it affects your SLAs.
Microservice Scaffolding
Claude Code drafts the scaffolding, API contracts and tests for a new Spring Boot microservice, and the engineer reviews each piece before it is merged.
What Our Java / Spring Boot Developers Build
Microservices Architecture
Distributed systems with Spring Cloud, service discovery, API gateways, circuit breakers, and centralized configuration for enterprise-scale applications.
REST & GraphQL APIs
Production grade REST APIs on Spring Web and GraphQL APIs on Spring for GraphQL, with OAuth2 and JWT authentication through Spring Security, rate limiting through Spring Cloud Gateway, versioning, and comprehensive API documentation.
Event-Driven Systems
Asynchronous processing with Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Spring Cloud Stream. Event sourcing and CQRS patterns for high-throughput data pipelines.
Database & Data Layer
JPA/Hibernate with PostgreSQL or MySQL, connection pooling, query optimization, and database migration management with Flyway or Liquibase.
Cloud-Native Deployment
Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, and CI/CD pipelines for Spring Boot services. AWS, GCP, and Azure deployment.
Legacy Java Modernization
Migrate monolithic Java applications to Spring Boot microservices incrementally. Introduce modern patterns, testing, and deployment without business disruption.
VETTING PIPELINE
How engineers earn a spot on our team
Our hiring process has three stages, from the application screen to a project deep dive with background verification, and every new engineer then serves a probation period.
4 checks
Application screen
We source engineers across India through LinkedIn, Wellfound, employee referrals and outbound headhunting. Every application is checked for stack relevance, years of experience, English and time zone overlap before it moves to a technical interview.
60 to 90 min
Live coding and scenario questions
A live coding round of 60 to 90 minutes in the primary technology of the candidate, followed by scenario based questions on practical applications of that technology.
3 checks
Project deep dive and background verification
Candidates walk us through a recent production project, covering the architecture decisions and what they would change in hindsight. A third party background verification agency then confirms prior employment, education and identity.
Probation
A probation period follows
New engineers then serve a probation period, and those who do not meet our bar do not continue with us.
