- Implement seamless integration between frontend components and backend services, managing data flow and state effectively.

- Participate actively across the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and technical design to implementation, testing, and deployment.

- Write clean, efficient, well-documented, and testable code following established architectural patterns and best practices.

- Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product managers, UI/UX designers, QA engineers, and other developers, to ensure cohesive and successful feature delivery.

- Troubleshoot and debug complex technical issues across the full stack, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions to ensure optimal application performance and reliability.

- Contribute to continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices to streamline development workflows.

Required Skills :

- 4-8 years of overall experience in full-stack web development.

- Intermediate to advanced hands-on experience with React.js, including core concepts, hooks, state management libraries (e.g., Redux, Context API), and component architecture.

- Mandatory hands-on experience with a React Framework such as Next.js or Create React App.

- Minimum 2 years of mandatory experience in Java, ideally with Spring Boot framework experience for backend development.

- Mandatory experience with Kotlin for backend development.

- Strong understanding of RESTful API principles and experience designing and consuming APIs.

- Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3.

- Experience with version control systems, particularly Git.

Preferred Skills :

- Knowledge of AWS cloud services, including but not limited to EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, and API Gateway.

- Familiarity with CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipelines and tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).

- Experience with database systems such as SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB).

- Understanding of containerization technologies like Docker.
