• Senior Software Engineer-Java

    Insight Global (New York, NY)


    Job Description

    Insight Global is seeking a Senior Java Engineer to join the Enterprise Service Platform (ESP) team, which is modernizing legacy systems that routes traffic for decision engines. This role focuses on replacing legacy systems built on a proprietary platform and Hadoop with Java-based microservices deployed in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) within a service mesh architecture. You will work closely with development, architecture, and support teams to design and build transactional, low-latency APIs and RESTful microservices using Spring Boot, ensuring secure, scalable solutions. The position requires strong experience with Kubernetes, Linux environments, and relational databases (primarily MySQL, with exposure to Cosmos DB or Postgres). You will lead code reviews, mentor developers transitioning from C++ to Java, and help define a new microservices SDLC. You will collaborate with Information Security and Project Management to ensure platform security, performance, and stability across LexisNexis applications. In the first 90 days, you will help architect a dozen new repositories, learn the internal Tardis framework, and contribute to building seven new microservices, including an encryption extraction layer for field-level encrypted data.
