Your Role And Responsibilities

We are looking for a Full Stack Developer to build modern, cloud‑native applications using the latest front‑end frameworks, scalable microservices, and hyperscaler cloud services. You will work across the entire technology stack designing intuitive user interfaces, implementing resilient backend microservices, developing event‑driven components, and deploying solutions using cloud‑native CI/CD pipelines.

You will work with technologies such as React or Angular, Java/Spring Boot, .NET Core, Node.js, Python, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, serverless functions, and event streams. You may build solutions on AWS services like Lambda, EKS, DynamoDB, and CloudFront, or Azure services like AKS, App Services, APIM, Event Grid, Cosmos DB, and Azure Functions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, working in Agile teams, and building end‑to‑end cloud‑native products using modern tools and frameworks. Whether you are delivering features, guiding technical decisions, or owning key services, you will play a key part in building high‑performance, scalable, and secure applications.

If you want to work with next‑generation cloud‑native architectures and full‑stack engineering, we’d love to hear from you.
