Job Summary:
We are seeking an accomplished Java Full Stack Developer to architect, design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade web applications and distributed systems that operate at significant scale and across multiple business domains. In this role you will be responsible for the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, from translating business requirements into robust technical designs, to writing production-quality code, to deploying cloud-native services and supporting them through their full operational lifespan. The successful candidate will bring deep backend expertise in Java and the Spring ecosystem, combined with strong hands-on experience building responsive, component-driven front-end applications using modern JavaScript frameworks. You will work closely with product managers, architects, DevOps engineers, and fellow developers in an Agile environment to deliver high-quality, secure, and performant applications that directly support strategic business outcomes.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and continuously refine scalable microservices using Java (11/17) and the Spring Boot framework, ensuring each service is independently deployable, observable, and aligned with the broader enterprise architecture roadmap.
• Author secure, well-tested, and high-quality production code that adheres to internal coding standards, follows established design patterns, and incorporates defense-in-depth security principles such as input validation, authentication, and encryption at rest and in transit.
• Develop responsive, component-based front-end applications using React (or equivalent frameworks such as Angular or Vue), with strong attention to user experience, accessibility, browser compatibility, and performance on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Design and implement RESTful APIs and event-driven integrations that connect distributed backend systems, defining clear contracts, versioning strategies, and error-handling semantics to ensure smooth interoperability between services.
• Actively participate in architecture and design discussions, contributing thoughtful trade-off analyses around scalability, resiliency, maintainability, and cost-efficiency, and helping the team converge on solutions that meet both current and projected business needs.
• Continuously profile and optimize application performance, database queries, JVM tuning parameters, and API throughput, identifying bottlenecks through systematic measurement and applying targeted improvements with quantifiable impact.
• Implement and maintain robust state management patterns (Redux, Context API, NgRx, or equivalents) for complex front-end applications, ensuring predictable data flow, easier debugging, and clean separation of concerns between UI components and business logic.
• Develop comprehensive automated test suites — unit, integration, contract, and functional — using frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, Jest, and Cypress, treating tests as first-class deliverables that protect velocity and confidence over the long term.
• Contribute meaningfully to CI/CD pipeline design and deployment automation using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, enabling fast, safe, and repeatable releases to multiple environments.
• Proactively identify system bottlenecks, technical debt, and architectural weaknesses, and drive concrete remediation efforts through refactoring proposals, technical design documents, and well-scoped engineering initiatives.
• Collaborate effectively within Agile/Scrum delivery teams, participating in sprint planning, daily standups, backlog refinement, demos, and retrospectives to ensure consistent delivery of high-value increments.
• Maintain clear, current, and comprehensive technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, API specifications, deployment guides, and runbooks — so that knowledge is shareable and the system remains supportable as the team scales.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of professional software development experience building production-grade enterprise applications.
• Strong, demonstrable understanding of data structures, algorithms, computational complexity, and end-to-end system design principles.
• Advanced working knowledge of Java (versions 11 and 17), the Spring Boot framework, and the design of clean, idiomatic RESTful APIs.
• Hands-on, production-level experience designing and operating microservices architectures, including service decomposition, inter-service communication, and observability patterns.
• Proven experience developing front-end applications using React, with working familiarity in Angular or Vue considered a strong plus.
• Strong SQL skills and meaningful experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, or SQL Server, including query tuning and schema design.
• Solid experience with CI/CD tooling and Git-based version control workflows, including branching strategies, code review practices, and release management.
• Hands-on experience deploying applications to at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including familiarity with managed services, networking, and identity primitives.
• Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills, with the discipline to investigate problems methodically and document findings clearly.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and operating event-driven architectures using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or equivalent streaming platforms.
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
• Exposure to distributed system design principles such as eventual consistency, CAP trade-offs, idempotency, and saga patterns.
• Experience writing automation tests using modern frameworks and contributing to test-driven and behavior-driven development practices.
