Job Summary

We are looking for a talented Full Stack Developer to design, develop, and maintain modern, scalable web applications. The role involves building robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot, while developing responsive and user-friendly front-end interfaces using React. You will also manage database interactions and implement reliable integrations with both internal and external systems.

The ideal candidate is passionate about delivering high-quality end-to-end solutions, writes clean and maintainable code, and thrives in a collaborative agile environment with product, design, QA, and DevOps teams.

Experience with RPA tools (such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or Microsoft Power Automate) or low-code/no-code platforms (such as OutSystems, Mendix, or Appian) would be an added advantage, particularly for automation initiatives, rapid prototyping, or integrating legacy systems.

Key Responsibilities

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

  • Build responsive, high-performance front-end applications using React, JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, HTML5, CSS/SCSS, and state management libraries such as Redux, Zustand, or Context API.

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

  • Design and optimize database structures and queries using SQL, ORM frameworks (Hibernate/JPA), and relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, or SQL Server.

  • Implement integrations with third-party APIs, internal systems, and messaging platforms such as Kafka or RabbitMQ, following event-driven architecture principles.

  • Write clean, modular, and testable code following best practices such as SOLID principles, DRY methodology, and clean architecture.

  • Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and collaborative development practices.

  • Work within agile development frameworks, contributing to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives.

  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues across front-end, back-end, database, and integration layers.

  • Maintain technical documentation and contribute to architectural discussions and process improvements.

  • (Nice to have) Support process automation initiatives using RPA tools or low-code platforms.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Strong experience with Java (8+ / 11+ / 17+) and the Spring Boot ecosystem, including Spring MVC, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, and Spring Cloud.

  • Hands-on experience with React (16+ / 18+), JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, and modern React development practices such as hooks and functional components.

  • Experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and API security protocols such as OAuth2 and JWT.

  • Strong knowledge of SQL, database design, query optimization, and relational database management systems.

  • Experience with system integration patterns including API gateways, webhooks, and message brokers.

  • Familiarity with version control systems such as Git and build tools like Maven or Gradle.

  • Understanding of testing frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, Jest, and React Testing Library.

  • Knowledge of TDD/BDD practices and agile software development methodologies.

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

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

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

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

  • Experience with container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Exposure to reactive programming, GraphQL, WebSockets, or advanced state management techniques.

  • Knowledge of front-end testing tools such as Cypress or Playwright.

  • Experience with UI component libraries like Material-UI, Ant Design, or Chakra UI.

  • Understanding of secure coding practices and security frameworks (OWASP Top 10, authentication flows).

Education & Experience

  • Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Minimum 5 years of professional full-stack development experience, with at least 2–4 years working specifically with the Java/Spring Boot and React technology stack.
