Full Stack Developer

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Leadership and Architecture:

• Implement code as per the defined technical architecture across backend (Java/Spring Boot) and frontend (React.js/Next.js) domains.
• Follow coding standards, API design guidelines, and fullstack engineering best practices.
• Conduct thorough code reviews on both frontend and backend pull requests, fostering a culture of engineering excellence.
• Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and backlog grooming.
• Support team through 1:1s, pair programming, and structured knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, and DevOps to deliver robust, high-quality features end-to-end.

Backend Java Spring Boot Microservices:

• Develop and maintain backend microservices and REST APIs using Java and Spring Boot. 100% of the responsibility would be to contribute to code development.
• Develop event-driven and distributed systems with a strong understanding of the CAP theorem and eventual consistency.
• Integrate with relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL stores (MongoDB/Redis).
• Leverage cloud-native services on AWS/GCP Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, SQS/SNS.
• Integrate message brokers (Kafka/RabbitMQ), third-party services, and cloud-native tools.
• Own incident response processes and drive root-cause analysis and post-mortems for backend systems.

Frontend React.js Next.js:

• Build modern, responsive web applications using React.js and Next.js (SSR/CSR, SSG, and ISR strategies).
• Contribute to the development of a scalable component library and maintain a consistent design system.
• Optimise frontend performance: Core Web Vitals, code splitting, lazy loading, and intelligent caching strategies.
• Integrate frontend applications seamlessly with backend APIs and third-party services.
• Champion accessibility (WCAG) and cross-browser compatibility standards across all frontend surfaces.

Quality, Security and Delivery:

• Establish and enforce testing standards: unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end tests (Jest, React Testing Library, JUnit 5, Mockito, Playwright/Cypress).
• Manage and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/GitLab CI) and containerisation workflows (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Work with security and compliance teams to ensure all systems meet regulatory and data-protection requirements.
