We are positive, courageous, caring, doers and committed to excellence

About Gen-e2 While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be

AI First . Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with strong collaboration between generative AI and our best talents:

We now generate

95%

of the entire product — code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design — with

GitHub Copilot .

The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams.

A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation.

A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability. With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products

2–3× faster , while raising the bar for engineering excellence.

Your Role As a

Senior Fullstack Engineer (Java / React) , you will build end-to-end product features across backend and frontend, delivering scalable services in

Java

and high-quality user experiences in

React . You'll contribute to architecture decisions, ensure production-grade quality, and mentor teammates while working in a cloud-native, AI-first delivery model.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain backend services using

Java (11/17+)

and modern frameworks (e.g.,

Spring Boot ), focusing on scalability, security, and clean architecture.

Build and evolve front-end applications using

React

and

TypeScript , ensuring responsive UX, accessibility, and performance.

Define and maintain robust

REST API

contracts (versioning, pagination, consistent error handling) and documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger).

Apply

Clean Architecture ,

SOLID , and domain-driven thinking to keep codebases maintainable as products scale.

Work with relational databases (e.g.,

PostgreSQL/MySQL ) and optimize performance through sound data modeling, indexing, and query tuning.

Implement asynchronous and event-driven patterns where relevant (Kafka/RabbitMQ), ensuring idempotency, retries, and traceability.

Build quality in: testing strategies (unit, integration, contract, UI), code reviews, refactoring, and CI automation.

Collaborate with DevOps/platform teams on CI/CD, containerization ( Docker ), and cloud deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP).

Improve observability with logs, metrics, and tracing (OpenTelemetry/APM tools) and participate in incident response and RCA.

Mentor junior engineers, contribute to technical strategy, and align delivery with product outcomes.

Work in an

AI-first

way: leverage Copilot/GenAI responsibly to accelerate delivery while keeping enterprise-grade standards and security.

Who You Are Must-Have

6+ years of experience delivering production software, with strong hands-on work across

Java

and

React .

Strong experience with

Spring Boot

(or equivalent) building APIs and backend services.

Solid experience in React development (component architecture, state management, API integration) —

TypeScript

strongly preferred.

Strong understanding of

API design , integration patterns, and web fundamentals.

Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases and performance optimization.

Track record of engineering excellence: testing, code reviews, clean code, and maintainable architecture.

Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams in an agile setup.

Professional English to work in global teams.

Nice-to-Have

Experience with microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven architecture ( Kafka/RabbitMQ ).

Cloud-native experience (Kubernetes, service mesh, API gateways).

Front-end testing tools (Cypress/Playwright), design systems, and performance profiling (Lighthouse).

Security experience (OAuth2/OIDC/JWT) and secure SDLC practices.

Experience with AI-assisted development workflows (Copilot, prompt libraries, AI-assist
