The role is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of features, from design and development through testing and deployment, with accountability for both sides of the technology stack without reliance on a counterpart engineer. The Senior Engineer will work across multiple concurrent projects, adapting to each project's existing architecture, development standards, and technical conventions while ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes. They will proactively embed data integrity, performance, accessibility, and maintainability into solutions from the outset, ensuring robust and scalable systems. In addition, the role will collaborate closely with engineering leads, architects, and project-specific teams to align shared engineering standards, best practices, and development methodologies across the organization.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain features end-to-end across the React frontend and Java (Spring Boot) backend, adapting to each project's established architectureMaintain and extend frontend state management approaches without introducing conflicting patternsEnsure data integrity and correct transaction boundaries across concurrent backend operationsDiagnose and resolve issues across the full stack, from frontend rendering and state bugs to backend concurrency and performance issuesProfile and improve performance across the stack under real usage, not synthetic benchmarksEnsure UI changes meet accessibility standards (WCAG) as a built-in requirement, not an afterthoughtWork on the relational database layer (schema changes, query performance, migrations) with production-safe practicesDesign and consume REST APIs, owning both sides of the contract between frontend and backendCollaborate with Product Managers, Engineers, and Designers in Agile/Scrum on whichever project you're supportingApply change-management discipline appropriate to each project's risk profile, whether early-stage or already in production
