This role spans web, mobile, and backend development across React micro-frontends, Java-based services, GraphQL APIs, and Flutter applications.The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with strong architectural judgment, product awareness, and collaborative leadership. You will influence engineering standards, guide cross-team technical decisions, and deliver secure, scalable, observable, and maintainable enterprise software.## Key Responsibilities* Design and deliver full-stack capabilities across React applications, Java services, GraphQL APIs, and Flutter applications.* Lead technical design for features spanning micro-frontends, Backend-for-Frontend services, downstream integrations, and mobile experiences.* Develop React and TypeScript applications using Webpack Module Federation, React Router, Redux Toolkit, and shared component libraries.* Design and maintain Java 21 and Spring Boot services that aggregate downstream APIs into stable, user-focused contracts.* Develop GraphQL schemas, resolvers, batch mappings, and Apollo Client integrations.* Contribute to Flutter and Dart feature packages using Riverpod, repository-based data access, shared design systems, and reusable components.* Apply established patterns—including facade, builder, mapper, repository, strategy, visitor, observer, factory, adapter, and rule engine—to create modular and testable solutions.* Define clear ownership of business logic across presentation, orchestration, application, and domain layers.* Establish resilient integration patterns for REST and GraphQL services, including error handling, caching, retries, authorization, and contract compatibility.* Use feature flags, telemetry, and progressive delivery practices to release changes safely.* Mentor engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, pair programming, and constructive code reviews.* Collaborate with product, design, architecture, security, and engineering partners to turn business needs into effective technical solutions.* Improve engineering practices, reusable patterns, documentation, and development workflows across teams.## Required Technical Qualifications* Significant professional experience designing and delivering full-stack applications in enterprise production environments.* Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript, including strong experience with React.* Strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, including dependency injection, service-layer design, API development, and downstream system integration.* Experience designing and consuming GraphQL and REST APIs.* Experience with micro-frontend architecture, ideally including Webpack Module Federation, independently deployable applications, runtime integration, and shared-dependency management.* Strong knowledge of frontend state-management patterns using Redux Toolkit or comparable technologies.* Demonstrated ability to apply object-oriented design, SOLID principles, layered architecture, and reusable software design patterns.* Experience building automated tests with tools such as Jest, React Testing Library, JUnit, Mockito, Playwright, or similar frameworks.* Experience with containerized cloud applications, including Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm.* Familiarity with Azure services such as AKS, Microsoft identity platforms, Key Vault, Redis, Cosmos DB, and Application Insights.* Experience with observability practices, including structured logging, distributed tracing, metrics, and OpenTelemetry.* Working knowledge of authentication, authorization, token management, secure coding, and protection of
