About The Position

The Lead Java Full-Stack Engineer designs and develops modern, responsive, high-performance frontend interfaces with Angular 19 and builds lightweight, high-throughput Java microservices with Micronaut. The role focuses on secure, well-tested services and clean RESTful APIs with automated, self-documenting OpenAPI/Swagger documentation, as well as enterprise authentication and authorization using OAuth2 and OIDC.

The engineer designs and optimizes relational database models in AlloyDB for PostgreSQL, writes type-safe SQL with JDBI 3, manages schema migrations with Flyway, and tunes indexing and throughput for scale. The role also deploys, manages, and scales applications on GCP using GKE, configuring Kubernetes orchestration, load balancing, and autoscaling to support availability and resource utilization. Responsibilities include implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, container security, and cloud monitoring and logging.
