Can you walk me through a recent end-to-end feature you built where you developed both the Java REST APIs/backend logic and the Angular 17+ frontend components? What state management and Angular features did you use? * Scalability, Latency & Cloud Architecture (Azure/AWS) : How have you designed full stack applications hosted in cloud environments (Azure or AWS) to handle latency, high availability, and scaling issues? Can you give a specific example of how you optimized performance between the Angular frontend and backend services? * Technical Leadership, Root Cause Analysis & Refactoring : Can you describe a situation where you had to perform root cause analysis on a complex systemic issue or heavy technical debt in a production environment? How did you implement the fix, reduce technical debt, and mentor junior engineers on the team to prevent similar issues? * Are you legally authorized to work in the United States directly on our W2 without requiring current or future visa sponsorship? Please note that this position is strictly W2-only (no C2C, 1099, or sub-vendors permitted). * This role is structured as an hourly W2 contract at a pay rate of $50.00 per hour (W2).
