• Implement responsive and accessible designs using CSS/SCSS and modern layout techniques.
• Develop and maintain observability features including monitoring, alerting, and analytics to ensure system health and performance.
• Integrate test automation across the stack using frameworks for unit, integration, and end‑to‑end testing.
• Optimize applications for performance, scalability, and reliability in a distributed cloud environment.
• Collaborate with architects, product owners, and cross‑functional teams to define technical requirements and deliver high‑quality features.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, code reviews, and continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows.
• Apply accessibility standards to ensure inclusive digital experiences.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across UI and backend layers.
• Stay current with full‑stack development trends, advocate best practices, and contribute to a culture of learning and innovation.

Role Requirements

• Java (Spring Boot) – 5+ years of experience building scalable backend services and APIs.
• React & TypeScript – 5+ years of hands‑on experience developing dynamic, component‑based web applications.
• CSS/SCSS – deep understanding of responsive design and advanced styling techniques.
• Practical understanding of design patterns, SOLID principles, and clean code practices.
• Experience with RESTful APIs and integrating front‑end with backend services.
• Familiarity with observability tools (Dynatrace preferred) and implementing monitoring and alerting solutions.
• Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Jest, Cypress, React Testing Library).
• Proficiency with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows.
• Extensive knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
• Proactive mindset, strong problem‑solving skills, and passion for clean, maintainable code.
• Comfortable working in an Agile environment and familiar with Agile development practices.
• Must be a self‑starter, fast learner with a positive attitude and team‑player.
