About The Position

We’re excited to share an open role on our Customer Experience Technology team at Transamerica. We’re building modern enterprise SaaS platforms that deliver exceptional user experiences. We’re looking for a well-rounded Mid-Level Full Stack Developer who loves working end-to-end: crafting beautiful, responsive Angular frontends and building clean, reliable Java + Spring Boot backends. If you enjoy owning complete features — from pixel-perfect UI to straightforward data persistence — this is a great opportunity to grow your full-stack skills on real production systems. You’ll join a collaborative, agile team and take ownership of features from frontend to backend. The focus is on clean code, great UX, and reliable APIs with light database work using Spring Data JPA.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
One year of Core JAVA or .NET experience
Build rich, responsive user interfaces with Angular (standalone components, signals, RxJS, modern architecture)
Develop and maintain RESTful APIs using Spring Boot
Implement simple persistence layers with Spring Data JPA (basic entity mapping, relationships, and repositories)
Handle state management, Reactive Forms, routing, and smooth API integration on the frontend
Write clean unit and integration tests (JUnit 5 + Testcontainers for backend, Jasmine/Jest for Angular)
Collaborate closely with the team to ship complete features quickly and reliably
Experience building scalable, performance‑focused solutions in production environments
Strong understanding of secure software development practices
Able to use AI responsibly as part of the software development lifecycle
Adaptability and quick learning with AI-assisted tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or ChatGPT for code generation and optimization)

Nice To Haves

Exposure to regulated environments or customer‑facing systems at scale
