The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, gRPC, microservices, React, relational databases, messaging, CI/CD, and cloud-native technologies.
The role requires a strong balance of full-stack development, system design, problem solving, technical ownership, AI adoption, and collaboration. The engineer will work closely with product managers, architects, DevOps engineers, and other engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions from conception through production.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:
•
Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain full-stack applications using Java/Spring Boot and React.
•
Develop scalable and maintainable backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
•
Design and implement REST APIs, gRPC services, microservices, and event-driven components.
•
Develop responsive, reusable, and maintainable user interfaces using React, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
•
Design appropriate communication patterns using REST, gRPC, and asynchronous messaging based on business and technical requirements.
•
Own software development initiatives end-to-end, from requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
•
Participate in architecture and technical design discussions with a focus on scalability, performance, availability, security, and maintainability.
•
Design efficient relational database models and develop optimized SQL queries.
•
Develop integrations with messaging platforms such as Apache Kafka.
Follow Test-Driven Development (TDD) and a test-first approach when developing new features and fixing defects.
•
Build and maintain automated unit, integration, API, contract, and end-to-end tests across frontend and backend components.
•
Leverage AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot and other approved AI coding/productivity tools to improve development speed, code quality, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and developer productivity.
•
Identify and drive opportunities to use AI for engineering automation, including code generation, test generation, code analysis, documentation, refactoring, debugging, and developer workflows.
•
Evaluate AI-generated code and recommendations critically, ensuring correctness, security, maintainability, performance, and compliance before adoption.
•
Promote responsible adoption of AI tools while following organizational security, privacy, intellectual property, and engineering standards.
Improve engineering productivity through automation, CI/CD, quality gates, AI-enabled workflows, and developer tooling.
•
Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable corrective actions.
•
Conduct code reviews and contribute to coding standards, design guidelines, and engineering best practices.
•
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and contribute to technical knowledge sharing.
•
Collaborate effectively with cross-functional and distributed teams.
