• Modern Stack: Java, NodeJS, AWS, microservices, event-driven architecture, React/Angular.

• Long-Term Opportunity: contracts often renew - this role supports a large, ongoing transformation.

• Designing and developing backend services with Java (Spring Boot) and NodeJS
• Building cloud-native services using AWS (Lambda, EC2, API Gateway, S3, etc.)
• Creating enterprise-grade APIs, integrations, and microservices
• Contributing to modern front-end modules using React or Angular
