Senior Full Stack Engineer (Java/Angular/Node.js)

Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer (Java, Angular/Node.js) to design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance applications across the full stack. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on developing robust frontend and backend components, building well-designed APIs, and delivering reliable, cloud-native solutions.

You will work with Java (Spring Boot) and Angular or Node.js to build microservices-based applications, deploy them across AWS, Azure, or OpenShift using Docker and Kubernetes, and support automated delivery through CI/CD pipelines. You'll also contribute to architecture and system design discussions, uphold strong code-quality and testing practices, and leverage AI-assisted development tools like Copilot to work more efficiently.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help build modern, cloud-native applications end-to-end. This is a hands-on role where you'll spend your time writing, testing, and shipping production code — developing Angular frontends, Java/Node.js backends, and the RESTful APIs that connect them.

Working within an Agile team, you'll collaborate closely with product owners, stakeholders, and fellow engineers to turn business requirements into scalable, reusable solutions. You'll contribute to architecture and design discussions, deploy and support applications in containerized cloud environments, and help the team continuously improve its engineering practices through better tooling, testing, and automation.

If you enjoy solving problems across the entire stack, care about code quality and reliability, and want to work with a modern, AI-assisted toolset, this role is a strong fit.
