About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer with a strong front-end focus to design and build scalable, end-to-end web applications. This is a front-end-leaning role — roughly 60% of your time will be spent crafting responsive, high-quality user interfaces with React, and the remaining 40% building robust, event-driven back-end services with the latest Java (Java 21 LTS) and Spring Boot. You will also leverage AI-assisted development tools such as Windsurf to accelerate delivery and improve code quality. This role suits a front-end-strong engineer who is comfortable across the full stack, writes clean, production-grade code, and enjoys mentoring others.
Key Responsibilities
* Build responsive, accessible, high-performance front-end interfaces using React (primary focus).
* Translate designs and wireframes into polished, reusable UI components with clean state management.
* Design, develop, and maintain scalable full-stack applications, spanning UI, APIs, and services.
* Develop and support back-end microservices and RESTful APIs, with event-driven pipelines using Apache Kafka.
* Own features end-to-end — from design and development to deployment and monitoring.
* Leverage AI-assisted tools (Windsurf, Copilot, Claude Code) to boost development speed and quality.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, DevOps, QA) in an Agile environment.
Required Skills & Experience
* 9+ years of full-stack experience with a strong front-end focus, building production-grade web applications.
* Front-End (primary): Deep expertise in React (Hooks, functional components, Context) with TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3.
* UI/UX: Responsive design, component architecture, accessibility (a11y), and cross-browser compatibility.
* Front-End Tooling: State management (Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or React Query) and modern build tooling (Vite, Webpack).
* Back-End (Java): Java 21 LTS — records, sealed classes, virtual threads, pattern matching.
* Spring: Spring Boot 3.x / Spring Framework 6.x — REST, Spring Data, Spring Security.
* Microservices: Strong hands-on experience designing and building microservices architectures.
* Kafka: Apache Kafka — producers/consumers, topics, partitions, event-driven design.
* Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL / MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB / Redis).
* DevOps: Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration.
* AI Tooling: Exposure to AI-assisted coding tools such as Windsurf, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Claude Code.
Good to Have
* Next.js and server-side rendering (SSR) / static generation experience.
* Design tooling familiarity (Figma) and design-system / component-library experience (Storybook).
* Cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
* CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
* Testing: Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress / Playwright, JUnit 5, Mockito.
* Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, distributed tracing.
* Experience integrating LLM / AI APIs into applications.
* Build tools: Maven / Gradle.
