Technical Debt & Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify and resolve defects, reduce technical debt, and champion software engineering best practices across the codebase.
Collaboration & Delivery: Coordinate across the full stack — data, services, APIs, and infrastructure — to deliver end-to-end.
Design & Code Reviews: Actively contribute to architecture discussions, pull request reviews, and technical documentation with a focus on thoughtful, scalable design.

What You’ll Need:

5+ years of professional software development experience, with strong proficiency in Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem (REST APIs, Spring Security, Spring Data JPA, etc.).
2+ years of experience with Git in a collaborative, team-based development workflow (branching strategies, PRs, code reviews).

Experience with TypeScript and modern React tooling (Vite, Next.js, etc.).
Solid experience with JUnit and/or other automated testing frameworks; commitment to high test coverage.
Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and business conversations.
Demonstrated critical thinking, problem-solving ability.

Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and CI/CD pipeline tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.).
Experience using JIRA or similar tools for Agile planning, sprint tracking, and delivery management.
Hands-on React development experience, including component architecture, state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand, or React Query), and API integration.
