Software Engineer II - Java Full Stack React

Overview

Design, develop and evolve scalable, reliable, secure, high-performance applications across the frontend and backend, working with product managers, architects, DevOps engineers and other engineering teams from conception through production.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, test, deploy and maintain full-stack applications using Java/Spring Boot and React.
• Develop scalable and maintainable backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
• Design and implement REST APIs, gRPC services, microservices and event-driven components.
• Develop responsive, reusable and maintainable user interfaces using React, JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML and CSS.
• Design appropriate communication patterns using REST, gRPC and asynchronous messaging based on business and technical requirements.
• Own software development initiatives end-to-end, from requirements and technical design through implementation, testing, deployment and production support.
• Participate in architecture and technical design discussions with a focus on scalability, performance, availability, security and maintainability.
• Design efficient relational database models and develop optimized SQL queries.
• Follow Test-Driven Development (TDD) and a test-first approach when developing new features and fixing defects.
• Build and maintain automated unit, integration, API, contract and end-to-end tests across frontend and backend components.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot and other approved AI coding and productivity tools to improve development speed, code quality, testing, documentation, troubleshooting and developer productivity.
• Identify and drive opportunities to use AI for engineering automation, including code generation, test generation, code analysis, documentation, refactoring, debugging and developer workflows.
• Evaluate AI-generated code and recommendations critically, ensuring correctness, security, maintainability, performance and compliance before adoption.
• Promote responsible adoption of AI tools while following organizational security, privacy, intellectual property and engineering standards.
• Improve engineering productivity through automation, CI/CD, quality gates, AI-enabled workflows and developer tooling.
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Conduct code reviews and contribute to coding standards, design guidelines and engineering best practices.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and contribute to technical knowledge sharing.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional and distributed teams.

What you'll need

• Strong hands-on experience with Java 17/21+.
• Strong experience with Spring Framework / Spring Boot.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design and microservices architecture.
• Hands-on experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers (protobuf).
• Good understanding of gRPC concepts including service contracts, streaming, deadlines/timeouts, status codes, error handling, interceptors and backward-compatible API evolution.
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design, SOLID principles, design patterns and clean code practices.
• Experience with JPA/Hibernate and Spring Data.
• Strong experience with relational databases such as Oracle or PostgreSQL.
• Good understanding of SQL, database design, indexing, transactions and query optimization.
• Experience with Apache Kafka or equivalent messaging/event-streaming technologies.
• Good understanding of multithreading, concurrency, caching, transactions and performance optimization.
• Strong hands-on experience with React.
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript and/or TypeScript.
• Experience building responsive, reusable, component-based UI applications.
• Good understanding of React hooks, state management, component lifecycle, routing and asynchronous API integration.
• Experience with frontend state-management solutions such as Redux, Context API or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design and browser fundamentals.
• Experience integrating frontend applications with REST and/or gRPC-backed services.
• Understanding of frontend performance optimization, accessibility, security and browser compatibility.
• Strong practical experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) and test-first development practices.
• Strong understanding of the Red-Green-Refactor development cycle.
• Experience writing effective unit, integration, API, contract and end-to-end tests.
• Backend testing experience with JUnit 5, Mockito, Spring Boot Test or equivalent frameworks.
• Frontend testing experience with Jest, React Testing Library or equivalent frameworks.
• Experience with Playwright or similar end-to-end testing frameworks.
• Ability to design testable code and identify appropriate testing boundaries across unit, integration and E2E layers.
• Ability to incorporate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and enforce quality gates.
• Practical experience using AI coding assistants and developer productivity tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT or equivalent tools.
• Ability to effectively use AI for code generation, refactoring, test generation, debugging, documentation, code review and technical analysis.
• Ability to write effective prompts and provide appropriate context to AI tools to achieve high-quality engineering outcomes.
• Ability to validate, review and improve AI-generated code rather than relying on AI output without engineering judgment.
• Understanding of responsible AI adoption, including data privacy, security, intellectual property, confidentiality and organizational AI usage policies.
• Willingness to continuously evaluate and adopt emerging AI-assisted engineering practices that improve developer productivity and software quality.
