Job summary

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is seeking a senior client-platform engineer to own and evolve the ELERA POS client—Vue 3 and TypeScript framework powering fixed-lane, self-checkout, kiosk, and more. This platform role focuses on the framework rather than features, including DI, plugin loading, and device integration, with a path toward architecture ownership.

The ideal candidate has strong Vue.js + Java enterprise experience, and a track record building shared libraries.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of professional web development experience; for senior levels 9+ years full-stack web development experience, particularly client side.
• Strong analytical and TypeScript/OO programming skills, including generics, declaration files, and strict-mode discipline.
• 2+ years in Vue 3 or equivalent modern component framework, at depth: reactivity, routing, centralized state management.
• Experience building shared libraries or frameworks that other teams consume – not only end-user features.
• Working knowledge of a dependency-injection / inversion-of-control container and decorator-based registration; understanding lifetimes and resolution order.
• Deep technical skills in web development technologies (HTML5, JavaScript, TypeScript, SASS, XML/JSON, Vue.js) and modern build tooling like Vite.
• Unit testing as a default habit, plus browser automation with Playwright/Cypress/Selenium.
• Ability to work productively inside a large legacy code base without rewriting it.
• Experience developing in a Java-based environment to debug services you do not own and locate defects.
• REST and OpenAPI contract thinking, including breaking changes.
• Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, containerized builds, artifact registries, dependency resolution, and version conflicts.
• Git proficiency at team scale: long-lived release lines, backports, and conflict resolution.
• Experience with operating systems – Linux/Windows/iOS/Android; light scripting.
• Knowledge of Agile processes; strong technical writing; documenting decisions is valued.
• Strong problem determination and debugging skills, attention to detail, and teamwork.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and test/debug client UI and client framework code in Vue 3 and TypeScript, and mentor the team doing the same.
• Design with other developers in mind – both the internal team and external partners who extend the platform.
• Own and extend the client extensibility model: DI, plugin loading, UI slot injection, and configuration merge chains.
• Maintain backward compatibility for plugins and customizations across framework versions.
• Publish versioned shared packages with semantic versioning and deprecation discipline.
• Keep two UI generations shippable, migrating the legacy Dojo layer incrementally.
• Extend the device integration layer for scanners, scales, printers, terminals, and mock devices.
• Maintain the client release train: hybrid Maven/npm builds, monorepo publishing, and CI pipelines.
• Own client-side quality: tests and a browser-automated BDD suite; gate the build.
• Write architecture decision records and solution designs; represent the client stack in ARB.
• Maintain the Self-Enablement Guide and extension catalogs; act as a technical interface to partners.
• Perform unit and functional tests; resolve defects across release lines.
• Provide reasonable estimates; help the team meet KPIs and deliverables.
• Apply solid programming patterns and handle accelerating change to enable innovative solutions.
