Our client is a global organization, named one of the largest in the Automobile industry! They are rapidly growing and going through a robust digital transformation. The business and senior leadership have put a huge emphasis on technology initiatives and are looking for passionate team members to contribute to the growth and development of the technical environment.
They are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join a strategic initiative dedicated to rewriting and modernizing a critical application used across the organization and multi-site locations.
This role will be instrumental in the application's transformation to a modern Java, React.js, and AWS-based architecture. This is a long-term, strategic rewrite effort—not a support role—and the engineer hired will own the product post-rewrite, acting as the technical lead for ongoing feature development and optimization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the end-to-end rewrite of a legacy web application to a modern tech stack (Java, React.js, AWS).
- Focus on front-end development in React.js, followed by backend refactoring in Java
- Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders, including infrastructure architects, product managers, and field evangelists, to inform and execute decisions.
- Collaborate with nearshore contractors and internal PMO representatives.
- Maintain ownership of the application once rewritten, acting as the go-to resource for enhancements and new feature development.
- Contribute to architectural decisions and system design with scalability, performance, and maintainability in mind.
Required Skills & Experience
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering with a full-stack focus.
- Proficiency in Java and React.js.
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS cloud services (including deployments, CI/CD, etc.).
- Background in writing web-based applications
- Experience refactoring or rewriting applications from legacy platforms.
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
Nice to Have
- Experience in product ownership or long-term application stewardship.
- Familiarity with infrastructure design and interfacing with DevOps or infrastructure architects.
- Experience with newer React features such as Server-Side Rendering
- Exposure to field or enterprise SaaS environments.
