Job Description

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Full Stack Engineer with strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript and deep experience building Spring Boot–based microservices. This role focuses on designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance applications in a complex enterprise environment.
The ideal candidate will be frontend-strong, with hands-on experience in modern SPA frameworks, while also being capable of designing and integrating backend microservices using Java and Spring Boot.

Key Responsibilities

Frontend Engineering (Primary Focus)

• Design and develop responsive, high-performance user interfaces using JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Build scalable SPAs using modern frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.
• Implement state management, component-based architecture, and reusable UI patterns.
• Integrate frontend applications with RESTful and event-driven backend services.
• Ensure cross-browser compatibility, accessibility (WCAG), and performance optimization.
• Write unit and integration tests using Jest, Cypress, or similar frameworks.

Backend & Microservices

• Design, develop, and maintain Spring Boot microservices following domain-driven and RESTful design principles.
• Implement secure APIs using OAuth2, JWT, and role-based access control.
• Integrate microservices with databases (SQL/NoSQL) and external systems.
• Handle inter-service communication using REST, messaging, or event-based patterns.
• Apply resilience patterns such as circuit breakers, retries, and rate limiting.

Architecture & Platform

• Contribute to microservices architecture decisions and API standards.
• Work with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized deployments.
• Participate in CI/CD pipeline implementation and optimization.
• Monitor and troubleshoot applications using logging, tracing, and observability tools.
• Collaboration & Quality
• Work closely with product owners, UX designers, and backend engineers.
• Participate in code reviews and enforce best practices for clean, maintainable code.
• Support production releases and provide post-deployment support when required.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Extensive experience with at least one modern frontend framework (React, Angular, or Vue).
• Solid experience developing Spring Boot microservices in Java.
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, HTTP, and API security.
• Experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) and/or NoSQL.
• Hands-on experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing.
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud environments.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience in financial services or regulated enterprise environments.
• Exposure to event-driven architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Knowledge of performance tuning and application security.
• Experience with micro-frontend architecture.
• Familiarity with Terraform or infrastructure-as-code.
