Job description

Position Summary

As a Java Fullstack Developer at Ampcus Inc., you will serve as a senior engineering authority driving the modernization, implementation, and deployment of mission-critical enterprise applications onsite in Charlotte, NC. Operating within an advanced hybrid cloud ecosystem, this technical role is dedicated to engineering resilient full-stack architectures powered by artificial intelligence-assisted software delivery. You will design, build, and optimize high-throughput distributed microservices, craft intuitive user interfaces, remediate complex security vulnerabilities, and lead containerized deployments across enterprise Red Hat OpenShift clusters to ensure robust performance, scalability, and operational reliability.

Detailed Job Description

The Java Fullstack Developer is responsible for the end-to-end software delivery lifecycle, modern application architecture, and AI-accelerated development practices. In this senior role, you will architect, implement, and maintain resilient backend services utilizing Java (with proficiency in .NET or Python), coupled with responsive modern web frontends built using React or Angular. Day-to-day duties involve designing enterprise-grade RESTful APIs, configuring container orchestration on Red Hat OpenShift, building automated continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and conducting deep-dive observability analysis using Splunk and AppDynamics to ensure peak system health and minimal latency.

A defining focus of this role is the practical integration of AI-assisted engineering into the development workflow. You will leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) via SDKs and APIs, GitHub Copilot (operating in Plan and Agent modes), and autonomous agent frameworks to accelerate code generation, automate testing, and streamline technical discovery. Additionally, you will proactively identify and remediate security vulnerabilities across application source code, container images, and third‑party dependencies. Operating in a collaborative agile environment, you will work closely with cross-functional architecture, infrastructure, and delivery squads to drive enterprise application migration, infrastructure hardening, and high-impact digital transformation.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, test, and maintain robust full-stack enterprise applications utilizing Java, with additional proficiency across .NET or Python frameworks.
• Build and optimize responsive, modern user interfaces and client-side single-page applications leveraging React or Angular.
• Implement and champion AI-assisted software development using GitHub Copilot in Plan and Agent modes, alongside LLM SDKs and APIs.
• Deploy, manage, and scale containerized application workloads and microservices on Kubernetes utilizing Red Hat OpenShift.
• Design, configure, and automate enterprise CI/CD delivery pipelines utilizing GitHub Actions and Harness.
• Implement comprehensive application observability, log analytics, and performance monitoring using Splunk and AppDynamics.
• Conduct proactive security assessments, code analysis, and rapid remediation of application and infrastructure security vulnerabilities.
• Manage enterprise source code repositories, branching workflows, pull requests, and automated testing policies within GitHub.
• Perform root‑cause analysis (RCA) and deep‑dive troubleshooting for complex production incidents, latency bottlenecks, and container failovers.
• Author comprehensive technical documentation, architecture blueprints, API specifications, and deployment runbooks for engineering teams.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related technical field.
• Minimum of 10+ years of progressive professional software engineering experience, with 15+ years of total IT industry experience preferred.
• Proven proficiency in backend software engineering utilizing Java, with strong working capability in .NET or Python ecosystems.
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience in AI-assisted development, including invoking LLMs via SDKs/APIs and using GitHub Copilot in Plan and Agent modes.
• Strong practical engineering background in modern front‑end web technologies, specifically React or Angular.
• Extensive hands‑on experience deploying, managing, and troubleshooting Kubernetes applications running on Red Hat OpenShift.
• Demonstrated track record in building and maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Harness, or equivalent delivery platforms.
• In‑depth operational experience with enterprise monitoring and observability suites, specifically Splunk and AppDynamics.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Practical hands‑on automation and configuration management experience with Ansible.
• Hands‑on exposure to autonomous AI development agents such as Devin AI.
• Proven technical track record in legacy enterprise application modernization, refactoring, and cloud migration initiatives.
• Familiarity with enterprise infrastructure technologies including SAN/NAS storage systems, Apigee API Gateway, corporate networking, and NDM (Connect:Direct).
• Industry‑standard certifications such as Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift, Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), or AWS/Azure Developer credentials.
