Job Summary
We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer (Java, Angular/Node.js) to design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance applications across the full stack. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on developing robust frontend and backend components, building well-designed APIs, and delivering reliable, cloud-native solutions.
You will work with Java (Spring Boot) and Angular or Node.js to build microservices-based applications, deploy them across AWS, Azure, or OpenShift using Docker and Kubernetes, and support automated delivery through CI/CD pipelines. You'll also contribute to architecture and system design discussions, uphold strong code-quality and testing practices, and leverage AI-assisted development tools like Copilot to work more efficiently.
About the Role
