Spring Boot Developer, Lalpur, Ranchi
Lalpur has a full-time, on-site Spring Boot Developer opening paying up to ₹75,000 per month. If you've built backend services in Java and know your way around Spring Boot without needing the documentation open in a second tab, this is worth your time.
The team builds and maintains backend services that power an actively used product, not sitting in a staging environment waiting for launch. Code written here reaches real users fairly quickly, which changes how carefully it needs to be reviewed before it ships.
The product has grown enough that a few services are starting to strain under load in ways they didn't a year ago. Part of this role involves noticing that early, whether it's a slow query buried in a Hibernate mapping or an endpoint that's fine at low traffic but chokes during peak hours, rather than waiting for it to become an incident.
The work
- Design and build backend components and services using Java and Spring Boot
- Develop and maintain REST APIs consumed by both internal tools and the main product
- Work with Hibernate for data persistence, and write SQL directly when the ORM layer isn't the right tool for the job
- Review teammates' code for correctness, performance, and maintainability before merging
- Troubleshoot bugs reported by users, tracing issues from a vague complaint back to the actual line of code causing it
- Collaborate with product and QA throughout a feature's lifecycle, not just at handoff
Debugging a production issue from a user's report is a specific skill. "It's slow sometimes" or "it broke" isn't much to go on, and turning that into a reproducible bug and then a fix is a big part of what separates a strong backend developer from someone who's only ever worked on greenfield features.
New-feature work happens, too, obviously, and it's not all firefighting. But even new features here get built with an eye toward what happens when this endpoint gets hit ten times as often six months from now, since that's been a real problem more than once already.
What gets you considered
A bachelor's degree is the standard requirement, and the hiring team cares more about what you've actually built with Java and Spring Boot than which specific program the degree came from. Two years of relevant experience is expected, ideally with real production Spring Boot work rather than tutorials and side projects alone, though a strong personal project portfolio can help offset a shorter resume.
Git is assumed knowledge here, not something to figure out during onboarding. Naukri Mitra sees a fair number of Spring Boot listings pop up around Ranchi lately as more mid-size companies build backend teams outside the usual metro hubs, and this one's pay reflects that competitive push.
Skills required
- Java, with solid backend fundamentals rather than just syntax familiarity
- Spring Boot and the broader Spring ecosystem
- Hibernate and SQL for data layer work
- REST API design and implementation
- Git for version control in a team setting
Extra points
Experience with message queues such as Kafka or RabbitMQ helps if the product moves toward an event-driven architecture, which is on the roadmap. Familiarity with Docker for containerized deployment is a plus, and any exposure to microservices patterns will make the transition into this codebase faster.
None of these extras are deal-breakers, and a strong core Java and Spring Boot developer who's never worked with Kafka will still get serious consideration. They're listed because they'll come up eventually, not because they're gatekeeping the role right now.
What comes with the job
Beyond the ₹75,000 monthly ceiling, the offer includes medical insurance and a provident fund contribution as standard, with paid leave starting on the first day rather than after a waiting period. Since the role is on-site and the company is actively recruiting from outside Ranchi, relocation costs are covered for candidates moving specifically for this position, along with help finding a place to live during the transition.
Lalpur is a fairly central part of Ranchi, so the commute stays manageable for most people already living in the city, and there's enough happening around the neighborhood that it doesn't feel isolated after office hours either.
Team and pace
The engineering team is mid-sized, big enough that work gets distributed sensibly across specializations but small enough that a developer here touches more of the codebase than they might at a larger company where ownership gets sliced thin. Sprints run on a two-week cycle, standard enough that anyone coming from an agile team elsewhere won't need much adjustment.
Standups stay short, ten to fifteen minutes, and the team has been deliberate about not letting them turn into status theater. If something needs a longer conversation, it gets pulled into a separate discussion afterward rather than dragging the whole group through it.
Code reviews here are treated as a real conversation rather than a rubber stamp. Expect occasional pushback on design decisions, and expect to give some back too, since that back-and-forth is part of how the codebase stays maintainable as the team grows.
New hires usually get a couple of smaller tickets first, a bug fix, a minor endpoint, before being handed anything that touches core services. That's less about doubting anyone's ability and more about giving a new developer time to understand how the existing services actually fit together, since a change made without that context tends to cause more problems than it solves.
Apply
Submit a resume that highlights specific Spring Boot projects, the scale they ran at, and any production issues you personally debugged and fixed. The interview includes a hands-on coding round working with Spring Boot and a database, closer to real work than an abstract algorithm challenge, so recent practical experience matters more than how long ago you last touched a whiteboard.
If your experience is closer to eighteen months than a full two years but the actual work has been solid, apply anyway. The two-year figure is a general guideline for the expected level of independence, not a hard cutoff that automatically screens out an otherwise strong candidate.
