Job Overview Job Specification: Java Full-Stack Web Application Developer Role Summary: We are looking for a Java Full-Stack Engineer to design, build, and support modern web applications. This role spans front-end development (Angular or React) and back-end services (Java/Spring Boot), with a focus on API-first, microservices-based architecture and CI/CD-driven delivery. Key Responsibilities Develop and maintain web applications across the stack: UI, APIs, and backend services. Build scalable, secure microservices using Java and Spring Boot. Develop responsive user interfaces using Angular, leveraging Kendo UI components where appropriate. Implement and support micro front-end patterns (composition, shared libraries, module federation or equivalent approaches). Design, build, document, and consume RESTful APIs; ensure service contracts and versioning strategies are followed. Work with SQL Server and optimize queries, indexes, and data access patterns. Implement search and indexing solutions with Elasticsearch. Build event-driven integrations using Kafka (producers/consumers, topics, schema/versioning awareness). Use GitHub / Bitbucket and contribute to automated CI/CD pipelines (build, test, deploy). Write unit and integration tests; participate in code reviews and engineering best-practice adoption. Required Skills & Qualifications 5+ years of experience in full-stack web application development. Strong backend development experience with Java and Spring Boot (REST APIs, security concepts, performance, and scalability). Strong front-end development experience with Angular including TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS. Experience using UI component libraries such as Kendo UI. Working knowledge of micro front-end architecture and patterns. Solid understanding of API design and microservices (service boundaries, resilience, observability basics). Hands-on experience with SQL Server and relational data modeling. Experience with Elasticsearch and event streaming with Kafka. Proficiency with GitHub / Bitbucket workflows and practical experience with CI/CD pipelines. Strong communication skills, ownership mindset, and ability to work collaboratively in an agile team. Preferred / Nice to Have Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP). Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift). Experience with automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, and UI testing). Exposure to observability practices (logging, metrics, tracing) and production support.
