We are looking for a Full Stack Java Developer to build and enhance modern web applications using Angular on the frontend and Java/Jakarta EE on the backend. The role also requires working knowledge of databases and practical familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and LLM application components (e.g., vector databases and orchestration frameworks). You will collaborate with product, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver secure, testable, container-ready solutions.

· Build backend services using Java 17+ and Jakarta EE 10 (REST APIs, validation, security, integration patterns).
· Design and implement API contracts, error handling, logging, and performance-conscious services.
· Write and maintain automated tests:
o Frontend: Jest
o Backend: JUnit 5
· Work with databases: create/modify schemas, write queries, tune basic performance, and support migrations.
· Apply AI tools and patterns to improve productivity and/or product features:
o Use AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Windsurf/Devin) effectively and responsibly.
o Integrate or support LLM-based capabilities using vector databases (e.g., ChromaDB or similar) and orchestration frameworks (LangChain or Haystack).
· Use Git for version control and participate in code reviews and branching workflows.
· Build and package applications using Maven; containerize and run services with Docker.
· Collaborate in agile ceremonies, contribute to estimations, and communicate progress and risks clearly.
· Troubleshoot issues across the stack (UI, API, database, container/runtime) and contribute to root-cause analysis.
What are the top 3 skills required for this role?
- Angular 17+, TypeScript 5.x, Angular Material
- Java 17+, Jakarta EE 10
- Working knowledge of databases (relational preferred): SQL querying, joins, indexes basics, transactions, and data modeling fundamentals.
