In this role you will be responsible for the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, from translating business requirements into robust technical designs, to writing production-quality code, to deploying cloud-native services and supporting them through their full operational lifespan. The successful candidate will bring deep backend expertise in Java and the Spring ecosystem, combined with strong hands-on experience building responsive, component-driven front-end applications using modern JavaScript frameworks.
