Senior Software Engineer

About The Role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will primarily design and build backend services while possessing the adaptability to support frontend development when necessary. You will evolve the core API layer and downstream services, delivering secure, performant REST APIs
. You will lead technical design reviews
, improve service reliability
, and collaborate across the stack to ship features end‑to‑end. While your focus is on the backend, you may step into frontend codebases (Angular/React) to unblock delivery and ensure a cohesive user experience.

• Own and evolve platform APIs and services, ensuring low‑latency, resilient endpoints for client applications.
• Design and implement Spring Boot microservices using modern patterns (contract‑first APIs, layered architecture, DTO mappers, caching).
• Integrate with platform services (appointments, patients, messaging, authentication) via service/domain contracts and RESTful clients.
• Improve reliability and performance with caching (e.g., Ehcache, Redis, etc.), connection management, and efficient data access.
• Implement observability (structured logging, metrics, tracing) and automate build/deploy pipelines.
• Write robust tests across layers (unit, component, contract, integration) using JUnit/TestNG and assist with frontend testing where applicable.
• Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and document patterns to drive consistency across the stack.
• Contribute to frontend interface development using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks (Angular/React) to support team velocity and feature integration.

• 5+ years of software development experience building Java services in production.
• Expertise with Spring Boot and REST API design; comfortable with contract‑first development and layered service architectures.
• Ability to adapt and contribute to modern frontend frameworks (such as Angular or React) when business needs dictate.
• Experience building and consuming service/domain contracts and integrating external/partner APIs.
• Proficient with data modeling and access patterns; capable of optimizing queries, caching, and serialization for high‑performance applications.
• Hands‑on with mapper/generation tools (Map Struct/Lombok), dependency management (Maven), and build plugins for quality.
• Proficient in automated testing: unit, integration, component, contract, and performance testing.
• Solid understanding of messaging and async patterns (e.g., Active
  
  MQ/Kafka), feature flags, and configuration management.
• Strong focus on observability, performance profiling, and resilience (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, idempotency).
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI‑assisted tools (e.g., Codex, Git Hub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate coding, debugging, and boilerplate generation.
• Practical experience with GenAI/LLM integration in backend systems.
• Competence in frontend web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/Type Script.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to explain design tradeoffs to technical and non‑technical partners.
