- 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.
- 10+ 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.
- 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.
