Job Summary:

We are looking for a Senior Front End Developer. In this role, you will architect resilient enterprise REST APIs utilizing robust Java technologies, while simultaneously building and refining clean, intuitive frontend system configurations using Angular.

  • Workflow & Release Management: Manage deep system configurations, handling structured workflows for API subscription lifecycles, access provisioning, and coordinated software release management across multiple runtime environments.
  • DevSecOps & CI/CD Pipeline Management: Establish and optimize continuous delivery pipelines utilizing Jenkins, ensuring that strict code-coverage and automated quality gates are met via Sonar metrics before pushing changes to GitHub.
  • Observability & Troubleshooting: Perform advanced debugging and root-cause analysis on highly complex system environments. Leverage logs and application performance metrics in Splunk and Datadog to proactively diagnose and resolve errors.
  • Comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA): Collaborate closely with independent engineering squads to validate third-party integrations. Create detailed functional test matrices, automate critical path regression test scenarios, and manage structural defect tracking to guarantee absolute production readiness.

Required Technical Skills & Competencies

  • Proficient in REST API development with Node.js, with recent experience in the last 1-2 years. Experience with NestJS is a plus.
  • 6-9 years of Typescript experience, Github, Sonar, Jenkins, Datadog, Splunk
  • Front-end experience with JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, etc.) with recent experience in the last 1-2 years. Angular is a plus.
  • Experience working with AI for day to day development, copilot is a plus, and agentic AI is a plus.
  • Proficient in coding, unit test, QA automation, CI/CD
  • Familiarity with system configuration, API subscription workflows, and release management.
  • Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills.
  • Technical proficiency in performing QA testing and end-to-end validation of onboarding flows.

  • Ability to collaborate with engineering to validate integration and ensure readiness for production.

Professional & Soft Skills

  • Exceptional analytical, diagnostic, and deep-dive enterprise troubleshooting habits.
  • Ability to translate high-level, complex client configuration and onboarding requirements into actionable, structured test verification matrices.
