Staff Engineer (Backend/Java)

Synopsys software engineers are key enablers in the world of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), developing and maintaining software used in chip design, verification and manufacturing.

You will build cloud-native platforms that power semiconductor lifecycle analytics, giving engineering teams the tools to bring cutting-edge silicon from concept to production.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and build features across backend services in Java/Spring Boot
• Contribute to technical architecture decisions for cloud-native applications running on AWS, Azure, or GCP, including service design, API contracts, and data modeling
• Collaborate with Product Owners and cross-functional engineering teams to translate product requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions
• Develop and maintain robust services backed by SQL and NoSQL databases including MongoDB, Cassandra, and ElasticSearch
• Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, sprint planning, and estimation sessions to ensure quality and alignment across the team
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, working across the stack to diagnose root causes and implement long-term fixes
• Mentor engineers on the team, sharing knowledge on architecture patterns, coding practices, and cloud platform best practices

The Impact You Will Have

• Deliver features that power analytics platforms used by semiconductor companies building AI-driven systems and next-generation silicon
• Shape the technical foundation of a cloud-native product that scales globally and supports critical workflows for customers
• Improve platform reliability and performance, directly affecting uptime and user experience for engineering teams relying on the system
• Accelerate team velocity by contributing to architecture decisions that reduce technical debt and make future development easier
• Elevate engineering standards across the team through mentorship, code quality advocacy, and thoughtful design reviews
• Enable faster time-to-market for new capabilities by building reusable services and components that other teams can leverage
• Help define best practices for cloud deployment, CI/CD pipelines, and production operations that improve how the entire team ships software
• Design and deliver the backend services and data APIs that power our Angular-based reporting experience, enabling rich and scalable insights for our users

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building production software in Java, with deep understanding of software architecture, algorithms, and data structures
• Strong proficiency with Spring framework, particularly Spring Boot, and experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs
• Proven experience building and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or GCP, including container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes
• Solid working knowledge of both SQL and NoSQL databases, with hands-on experience using at least one of MongoDB, Cassandra, or ElasticSearch in production
• Familiarity with Agile development practices and CI/CD tooling, you have worked in iterative environments and know how to ship incrementally
• Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal, you can explain technical trade-offs clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike
