Java, Spring Boot, MS SQL, React

About the opportunity 

We’re seeking a Software Engineer who can own medium-to-large features end-to-end, mentor teammates, and make pragmatic technical decisions. You’ll work across Java, MS SQL Server, and React to deliver scalable, accessible experiences.

What you'll get to do

• Own feature development end-to-end (Java → MS SQL → React), from design to production.
• Translate product goals into technical plans; de-risk unknowns early and manage scope.
• Lead design discussions for your features; define APIs, data models, and module boundaries.
• Champion testing strategy (unit/integration/e2e) and observability for your areas.
• Tune MS SQL Server performance (index strategies, query plans, stored procedures).
• Advance the React codebase using modern patterns and accessibility best practices.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and build/release hygiene.
• Mentor SEs through pairing and code reviews; raise the quality bar.
• Contribute to incident response and postmortems; drive prevention for your domain.
• Backend: Java (modern frameworks), RESTful services, auth/authorization best practices
• Database: MS SQL Server (performance tuning, indexing, stored procedures, migrations)
• Frontend: React (TypeScript preferred), component-driven development, accessibility
• Tooling/Practices: GitHub, CI/CD, automated testing, feature flags, monitoring/logging, containers (plus), AWS (plus)

Skills and experience we value

• 5+ years of professional software development with strong Java and React experience.
• Proficiency with MS SQL Server and measurable performance improvements in past work.
• Track record of owning features end-to-end and making sound engineering trade-offs.
• Strong system design, debugging across the stack, and CI/CD experience.
• Excellent communication and collaborative problem solving.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and elevating team practices.

What would make you really stand out

• Domain-driven design, eventing, or microservice patterns.
• Deep TypeScript, testing libraries, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility practices.
• Containers/orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (AWS).
• Security best practices (OWASP) and/or background in payroll/HCM.
