Job Description:
Our client is hiring a Front-End Software Engineer with deep Angular expertise and strong cross-stack experience in Java (Spring Boot) and NodeJS. In this role, you'll modernize a legacy application, design a scalable Angular application structure, and collaborate across the stack to deliver high-quality, performance features on an aggressive timeline.
This role is ideal for someone who understands Angular as a full framework and can design clean, maintainable front-end systems that integrate seamlessly with Java and NodeJS services.
Your future duties and responsibilities:
- Design modern Angular applications using standalone components, feature modules, shared libraries, and strict typing for long-term maintainability.
- Build reusable, accessible, and responsive UI components using Angular Material, CDK, or custom design systems.
- Implement robust state management using RxJS, NgRx, or Component Store to ensure predictable UI behavior.
- Develop and optimize Angular data services, interceptors, and API integration layers using HttpClient and RxJS pipelines.
- Apply advanced Angular performance techniques: OnPush change detection, zone less patterns, lazy loading, and route-level code splitting.
- Collaborate with backend engineers to design clean API contracts and integrate with Java (Spring Boot) microservices and Node.js service layers.
- Modernize legacy front-end codebases by refactoring outdated modules, removing anti-patterns, and aligning with current Angular best practices.
- Build CI/CD ready front-end pipelines with automated linting, testing, and build validation.
- Identify opportunities for AI-assisted development, including code generation, test creation, and documentation acceleration.
- Contribute to design discussions around component hierarchy, routing strategy, shared utilities, and cross-application patterns.
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
- 10 years of Angular (Angular 10 preferred), with a strong understanding of framework internals.
- 5 years of Node.js for building supporting services, middleware, or integration tooling.
- 3 years of Java (Spring Boot) for backend collaboration or full-stack delivery (nice to have).
- Deep experience with:
- RxJS (operators, subjects, multicasting, error handling)
- NgRx or Component Store
- Angular CLI, workspace configuration, schematics
- Routing strategies, guards, resolvers, lazy loading
- Change detection optimization
- Experience with Dev Assist tools (code generation, diagramming, automation helpers).
- Experience with test automation (Jest, Jasmine/Karma, Cypress, Playwright) is a plus.
- Experience with AWS (CloudFront, S3, Lambda, API Gateway) is a plus.
- Strong ownership mindset — drives features from design through delivery.
- Comfortable working across multiple concurrent business capabilities.
- Education Required: Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field.
