About The Position

Designs and implements full‑stack solutions that span multiple interconnected applications, modules, or service layers using J2EE, Spring/Spring Boot, REST APIs, and Angular. Defines and evolves application level and cross application design approaches for Object Oriented Design, RESTful service structures, and integration patterns across complex systems. Develops and maintains highly complex backend services and frontend components that require advanced coordination between data models, APIs, and user interfaces (UIs). Establishes and refines reusable application frameworks, shared components, and common patterns to support consistent development across multiple solutions. Applies technical expertise to resolve system‑wide design, performance, and integration challenges across the full stack. Performs comprehensive analysis of existing applications to support large‑scale enhancements, refactoring, or extension of functionality while maintaining alignment with coding, security, and testing standards. Drives consistency and quality across multiple applications by advancing coding standards, RESTful integration practices, and test coverage strategies within the development lifecycle.
