Full-Stack Technical Lead

Project description

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Spring Boot microservices integrating with relational and NoSQL databases, message brokers (Kafka), and internal/external APIs, ensuring scalable and reliable services across on-premises and cloud environments.
• Manage REST API design end-to-end, including contract definition, versioning, error handling, performance optimization, and reliability, to meet non-functional requirements and consumer expectations.
• Serve as the technical leader for Java engineering platform-wide, establishing coding standards, architectural patterns, reviewing designs and pull requests, and providing technical guidance to delivery teams.
• Lead performance tuning and optimization of Java services by profiling, identifying bottlenecks related to memory, threading, I/O, and database, and implementing solutions collaboratively with engineering teams.
• Implement Test-Driven Development (TDD) as a foundational practice in Java delivery, ensuring testability is embedded from the outset.
• Develop and maintain React components, screens, and features for small to medium-complexity front-end tasks, integrating with back-end APIs via RESTful services.
• Utilize hooks, state management, and component lifecycle methods to deliver functional and responsive user interfaces aligned with design requirements.
• Employ AI and Agentic AI tools to expedite front-end development, including scaffolding components and troubleshooting UI issues, without requiring extensive front-end specialization.

Skills

• Must have

• The role demands advanced proficiency in modern Java programming, emphasizing core concepts such as concurrency, streams, and modular design, with Java 17+ being preferable. Candidates must exhibit substantial experience in architecting and developing Spring Boot microservices within large-scale enterprise settings. Expertise in database interactions is essential, including strong skills in SQL, JPA/Hibernate, query optimization, and data modeling. Familiarity with event-driven system design and message brokers, particularly Apache Kafka, is required. Deploying and managing Java services via containerization (Docker) and orchestration platforms (Kubernetes) is a key responsibility. Additionally, candidates should demonstrate the ability to design robust REST APIs, incorporating principles like contract-first design, versioning, pagination, error management, and optimization of API performance. Experience in performance tuning involving profiling, heap and thread analysis, garbage collection adjustments, and latency minimization is also necessary. A rigorous approach to test-driven development and unit/integration testing, using frameworks such as JUnit and Mockito, is expected. Candidates must also have experience delivering solutions in both on-premise and cloud environments.

• Soft skills and front-end competencies include the ability to construct React components utilizing functional programming patterns, hooks, and state management techniques. A solid command of JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3 is required to effectively integrate front-end modules with back-end RESTful services. Proficiency in managing asynchronous data flows between client and server components is essential to ensure seamless user experiences.
