Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled Full Stack Developer to design, build, and maintain modern, scalable web applications. You will develop robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot, create dynamic and responsive user interfaces with React, manage database interactions, and implement reliable integrations with internal and external systems.

The ideal candidate is passionate about delivering high-quality, end-to-end features in an agile environment, writes clean and maintainable code, and enjoys collaborating with product, design, QA, and DevOps teams.

Familiarity with RPA tools (e.g., UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate) or low-code/no-code platforms (e.g., OutSystems, Mendix, Appian) is a significant plus, particularly for process automation, rapid prototyping, or bridging legacy systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and deploy full-stack web applications using Java, Spring Boot (RESTful APIs, microservices), and React (modern versions with hooks, functional components).

• Build interactive, performant, and responsive front-end interfaces using React, JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, CSS/SCSS, and state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Zustand, Context API).

• Develop secure, scalable backend services, microservices, and APIs with Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data, Spring Cloud, and related modules.

• Design and optimize database interactions using SQL (complex queries, schema design, indexing, performance tuning), ORM frameworks (Hibernate/JPA), and relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server).

• Implement system integrations — connect to third-party APIs, internal services, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), event-driven patterns, and ensure secure & reliable data exchange.

Write clean, modular, testable code following best practices (SOLID, DRY, clean architecture) and actively participate in code reviews and pair programming.

• Collaborate in agile processes (sprint planning, stand-ups, retros) and contribute to CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).

• Debug and resolve issues across frontend, backend, database, and integration layers.

• Create and maintain technical documentation, participate in architectural discussions, and help improve development practices.

• (Nice to have) Support automation initiatives using RPA tools or low-code platforms to streamline business processes or accelerate feature delivery.

Requirements:
Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in Java (8+ or 11+ / 17+ preferred) and the Spring Boot ecosystem (Spring MVC, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, Spring Cloud, etc.).

• Solid hands-on experience with React (16+ / 18+ preferred), JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, modern React patterns (hooks, functional components), and related tools (React Router, Axios/Fetch, etc.).

• Proven experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and API security (OAuth2, JWT).

• Strong SQL knowledge — writing efficient queries, database design, performance optimization, and working with relational databases.

• Practical experience with integration patterns (API gateways, webhooks, message brokers, event sourcing).

• Comfortable with version control (Git), build tools (Maven / Gradle), and basic DevOps concepts.

• Solid understanding of testing (JUnit, Mockito, Jest, React Testing Library), TDD/BDD practices, and agile methodologies.

• Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communication skills.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with RPA platforms (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, Microsoft Power Automate) or low-code tools (OutSystems, Mendix, Power Apps).

• Cloud platform knowledge (AWS, Azure, GCP) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with reactive programming, GraphQL, WebSockets, or advanced state management.

• Exposure to front-end testing (Cypress, Playwright), component libraries (Material-UI, Ant Design, Chakra UI), or CI/CD tooling.

• Understanding of security principles (OWASP Top 10, secure coding, authentication flows).

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5+ years of professional full-stack development experience, with at least 2–4 years focused on Java/Spring Boot + React stack.
