Position Summary

As Senior Development Lead – Full Stack Microservices at Dune Tech Co, you will serve as the principal engineering authority directing software architecture, technical delivery, and engineering excellence on‑site in Saudi Arabia. Operating across mission‑critical digital enterprise platforms, this hands‑on technical leadership role is dedicated to architecting resilient, distributed microservices ecosystems and responsive web frontends. You will bridge complex business goals with cutting‑edge engineering rigor, translating high‑level enterprise requirements into robust low‑level designs (LLD), mentoring multidisciplinary engineering squads, and authoring critical core components to drive seamless digital transformation.

Detailed Job Description

The Senior Development Lead is responsible for the end‑to‑end design, implementation, and operational scalability of cloud‑native microservices architectures and modern web applications. In this pivotal technical leadership position, you will govern engineering best practices across Java, Spring Boot, and React JS stacks, authoring comprehensive Low‑Level Designs (LLDs) and orchestrating high‑throughput, fault‑tolerant RESTful APIs. Day‑to‑day duties involve leading architectural reviews, enforcing strict automated code quality standards, resolving complex system performance bottlenecks, and guiding development squads through rapid agile release sprints.

In this security‑conscious, hands‑on role, you will architect and enforce robust zero‑trust API security frameworks utilizing OAuth2, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) across all microservice transactions. You will champion continuous delivery modernization, deploying containerized applications into Docker and Kubernetes environments managed through enterprise CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins and Azure DevOps. The ideal candidate blends deep full‑stack coding capability with decisive technical leadership, providing top‑tier troubleshooting, mentoring developers, and maintaining uncompromising software integrity to deliver world‑class digital products across Saudi Arabia.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide hands‑on technical and architectural leadership across full‑stack software development squads delivering enterprise microservices.
• Author, validate, and maintain comprehensive Low‑Level Designs (LLD), interface control documents, and system architecture blueprints.
• Architect, develop, and optimize high‑throughput, distributed backend microservices utilizing Java and Spring Boot frameworks.
• Design, implement, and harden enterprise‑grade API security models leveraging OAuth2, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and JWT standards.
• Oversee and contribute to the development of modern, responsive single‑page web applications utilizing React JS and state management suites.
• Establish and enforce rigorous code review standards, unit testing frameworks, static code analysis, and refactoring initiatives.
• Deploy, orchestrate, and manage containerized microservice workloads utilizing Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud‑native runtime environments.
• Build, optimize, and maintain automated continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines in Jenkins or Azure DevOps.
• Lead deep‑dive diagnostic investigations and root‑cause analysis (RCA) to resolve complex production incidents and latency bottlenecks.
• Mentor, upskill, and technically guide software engineers while partnering with product managers to ensure predictable sprint delivery.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related technical field.
• Minimum of 8 to 12+ years of progressive professional experience in software engineering and enterprise application development.
• Minimum of 3+ years of proven track record serving in a Technical Lead or Development Lead engineering role.
• Demonstrated subject matter mastery in Java development, Spring Boot, microservices architecture patterns, and Low‑Level Design (LLD).
• In‑depth technical expertise in secure API design, RESTful services, and industry‑standard security protocols including OAuth2, OIDC, and JWT.
• Strong hands‑on engineering proficiency in front‑end web development utilizing React JS, modern JavaScript (ES6+), and CSS frameworks.
• Extensive practical experience with container technologies (Docker) and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes).
• Proven track record with version control (Git) and building automated CI/CD deployment pipelines using Jenkins or Azure DevOps.

Recruitment Pro Tip

Because this leadership role strictly requires an onsite commitment in Saudi Arabia and values immediate availability, clearly state your immediate joiner status and willingness to work onsite right at the top of your resume. Emphasize your hands‑on duality in both architecture (LLD, Spring Boot microservices, OAuth2/OIDC security) and front‑end delivery (React JS), explicitly quantifying the team sizes you have led and production microservices you have deployed to capture executive consideration.
