Job Description:

Our client is hiring a Front-End Software Engineer with deep Angular expertise and strong cross-stack experience in Java (Spring Boot) and NodeJS. In this role, you'll modernize a legacy application, design a scalable Angular application structure, and collaborate across the stack to deliver high-quality, performance features on an aggressive timeline.

This role is ideal for someone who understands Angular as a full framework and can design clean, maintainable front-end systems that integrate seamlessly with Java and NodeJS services.

Your future duties and responsibilities:

• Design modern Angular applications using standalone components, feature modules, shared libraries, and strict typing for long-term maintainability.
• Build reusable, accessible, and responsive UI components using Angular Material, CDK, or custom design systems.
• Implement robust state management using RxJS, NgRx, or Component Store to ensure predictable UI behavior.
• Develop and optimize Angular data services, interceptors, and API integration layers using HttpClient and RxJS pipelines.
• Apply advanced Angular performance techniques: OnPush change detection, zone less patterns, lazy loading, and route-level code splitting.
• Collaborate with backend engineers to design clean API contracts and integrate with Java (Spring Boot) microservices and Node.js service layers.
• Modernize legacy front-end codebases by refactoring outdated modules, removing anti-patterns, and aligning with current Angular best practices.
• Build CI/CD ready front-end pipelines with automated linting, testing, and build validation.
• Identify opportunities for AI-assisted development, including code generation, test creation, and documentation acceleration.
• Contribute to design discussions around component hierarchy, routing strategy, shared utilities, and cross-application patterns.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

• 10+ years of Angular (Angular 10+ preferred), with a strong understanding of framework internals.
• 5+ years of Node.js for building supporting services, middleware, or integration tooling.
• 3+ years of Java (Spring Boot) for backend collaboration or full-stack delivery (nice to have).
• Deep experience with:
• NgRx or Component Store
• Experience with Dev Assist tools (code generation, diagramming, automation helpers).
• Experience with test automation (Jest, Jasmine/Karma, Cypress, Playwright) is a plus.
• Experience with AWS (CloudFront, S3, Lambda, API Gateway) is a plus.
• Strong ownership mindset - drives features from design through delivery.
• Comfortable working across multiple concurrent business capabilities.
• Education Required: Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field.

Benefits are offered to eligible professionals on their first day of employment to include:

• Competitive compensation
• Comprehensive insurance options
• Matching contributions through the 401(k) plan and the share purchase plan
• Paid time off for vacation, holidays, and sick time
• Paid parental leave
