Job Summary
We are seeking a high caliber Lead Full Stack Java Solution Architect with deep expertise in modern front-end engineering (Angular and/or React).
In this role, you will define the blueprint for scalable, reliable distributed systems, break down monolithic systems into cloud-ready modular architectures, and ensure seamless frontend-to-backend integration.
You will serve as the primary technical authority, aligning business requirements with enterprise architectural standards while mentoring cross-functional engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities: Architecture & System Design:
Design end-to-end systems combining high-performance Java-based microservices with modern, responsive Angular or React frontends.
Drive modernization initiatives by breaking down monolithic legacies into cloud-ready distributed networks, cloud-native architectures, or event-driven solutions.
Define interface contracts (RESTful APIs, GraphQL) ensuring secure, lightning-fast data flows between stateful clients and backend systems.
Select platforms and tools by conducting rigorous vendor/startup evaluations to gauge architectural viability.
Governance & Engineering Excellence:
Enforce best practices spanning system resiliency, centralized error handling, security protocols, observability, and performance optimization.
Perform design and code reviews to oversee the quality of deliverables across frontend, backend, and data layers.
Standardize automated pipelines by establishing comprehensive CI/CD, source-control mechanisms, and automated testing strategies.
Collaboration & Leadership:
Translate complex business capabilities into structured technical roadmaps by partnering closely with Product Owners, UX designers, and Enterprise Architects.
Champion technical decision-making and take accountability for architectural risks, trade-offs, and project delivery outcomes.
Mentor and scale teams of frontend and backend engineers, elevating the proficiency of junior developers through structured guidance.
Integrate AI-assisted workflows by spearheading the usage of approved tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to accelerate coding, troubleshooting, and testing.
