2. Technology Selection and Solution Design
Lead the selection of core technologies and formulate feasible, high-quality technical solutions, including microservices, middleware, and enterprise-level architecture.
3. Microservices and Distributed Systems
Build and maintain microservices architecture using frameworks like Spring Cloud or Apache Dubbo, promoting service decoupling, modularization, and scalability.
4. High Concurrency and Performance Tuning
Demonstrate strong expertise in JVM tuning, multithreading, and concurrent programming; conduct in-depth analysis and optimization for large-scale, high-concurrency systems.
5. Code Quality and Technical Review
Establish coding standards and enforce best practices; participate in code and architecture reviews to ensure high-quality and maintainable codebases.
6. Technical Problem Solving
Take ownership of solving complex technical issues such as distributed transactions, cache consistency, and message reliability in production environments.
7. Middleware and Infrastructure Support
Provide deep technical understanding and implementation guidance for commonly used middleware such as Redis, Kafka, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ.
8. Team Technical Leadership and Mentorship
Guide and mentor junior and mid-level developers; organize technical training and knowledge sharing to improve overall team capabilities.
9. Research and Innovation
Keep up with trends in the Java ecosystem (e.g., Spring Boot 3.x, containerization, Kubernetes, Serverless), and evaluate their potential application in real-world business scenarios.
