You should be hands-on in Java-based backend services, REST APIs, microservices, cloud-native deployments, and modern frontend development using frameworks such as React or Angular. Along with independent technical contribution, the role requires mentoring junior engineers in the team, guiding implementation decisions, reviewing code, ensuring secure and high-quality delivery, supporting customer escalations, and driving innovation through PoCs and continuous improvements.

Responsibilities

• The Java Full Stack Technical Lead will be responsible for independently leading product feature development across backend and frontend layers, including design, implementation, validation, and delivery of scalable software applications and systems.
• The candidate should be hands-on and technically strong enough to contribute as an individual contributor while also providing technical leadership, design direction, code reviews, and guidance to the team.
• Mandatory experience is required in both backend engineering using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, databases, and cloud-native patterns, as well as frontend engineering using React or Angular, TypeScript/JavaScript, UI integration, and responsive web application development.

• Strong exposure to frontend technologies such as React or Angular is mandatory, with the ability to collaborate on UI architecture, review frontend implementation, and ensure seamless integration with backend services.
• Core knowledge in Data Structures, OOPS, Solid design principles, and common Design Patterns is must.
• Working exposure to any cloud stack (GCP, AWS) is must.
• Leveraging AI in routine work or personal POCs will be an added advantage.
• Exposure to Cloud and Kubernetes-based applications will be an important factor.
• The ideal candidate should be technology-agnostic, adaptable, and comfortable learning and working across different languages, frameworks, and platforms as required.
• Hands-on experience with a modern cloud-friendly programming language such as Python or Node.js. will be an added advantage.
• Experience in Unit Testing and any automation (BDD) framework will be nice to have.
