Software Engineer IV: 9+ years of full-stack web development experience, particularly client side * Strong analytical and TypeScript/OO programming skills, including generics, declaration files, and strict-mode discipline * 2+ years in Vue 3 or an equivalent modern component framework, at depth: reactivity semantics, routing, and centralized state management * Experience building shared libraries or frameworks that other teams consume - not only end-user features * Working knowledge of a dependency-injection / inversion-of-control container (InversifyJS, tsyringe, Angular DI, Spring, or similar) and decorator-based registration; understanding of lifetimes and resolution order * Deep technical skills in web development technologies (HTML5, JavaScript, TypeScript, SASS, XML/JSON, Vue.js), including module-system fluency (ESM, AMD, UMD) and modern build tooling such as Vite * Unit testing as a default habit, plus browser automation with at least one of Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium - including the ability to diagnose a flaky test rather than retry it * Demonstrated ability to work productively inside a large legacy code base without rewriting it * Experience developing in a Java-based environment, including enterprise/web-based content, sufficient to debug a service you do not own and determine where a defect actually lives * REST and OpenAPI contract thinking, including a working definition of a breaking change * Comfort in CI/CD: pipelines, containerized builds, artifact registries, dependency resolution, lockfiles, and transitive version conflicts * Proficiency with Git at team scale: long-lived release lines, backports, and conflict resolution that does not lose work * Experience with operating systems - Linux, Windows, iOS or Android; installation, light administration, and simple scripting * Knowledge of software development concepts, methodology, and life cycle, especially Agile * Clear technical writing, and a record of documenting decisions that others then followed. Communication is a hiring criterion for this role, not a bonus * Strong problem determination and debugging skills, attention to detail, and teamwork Preferred Skills: * Point-of-sale, kiosk, self-checkout, or other attended/unattended retail systems, and general knowledge of the retail industry domain * Plugin or extension architectures that third parties build against, and experience designing extension points that outlive their first consumer * Skills and experience with POS attached devices (scanners, scales, printers, payment terminals, cash recyclers) and duplex device protocols such as WebSocket or STOMP, including retry, reconnect, and half-open connection handling * Experience debugging a failure that turned out to be in hardware, firmware, or a driver rather than in application code * Cross-document and cross-context work: iframes, post Message, origin and window-context reasoning, storage scoping * Working knowledge of Dojo, React, or AngularJS in addition to Vue.js, or comparable experience maintaining a superseded framework in production * Working knowledge of Docker containers and Spring Boot; knowledge of Swagger and REST design ## Description * Design, develop, and test/debug client UI and client framework code in Vue 3 and TypeScript, and mentor the team doing the same * Design with other developers in mind - both the internal team and the retailer, partner, and services engineers who extend the platform from outside * Own and extend the client extensibility model: dependency injection and decorator-based registration, plugin loading, UI slot injection, and the base/TGCS/partner/customer configuration merge chain * Maintain backward compatibility for plugins and customizations built against earlier framework versions * Publish versioned shared packages consumed by other teams, with real semantic-versioning and deprecation discipline * Keep two UI generations shippable at once, migrating the legacy Dojo layer incrementally rather than by flag day * Extend the device integration layer - scanners, scales, printers, payment terminals, cash recyclers, customer display - including the mock device harness that lets the full client run on a laptop * Maintain the client release train: hybrid Maven/npm builds, monorepo publishing, Jenkins multi-branch pipelines across the framework dependency chain, and constrained or air-gapped customer environments * Own client-side quality: unit and component tests under a coverage gate, and a browser-automated BDD suite that gates the build * Write and defend architecture decision records, component analyses, and solution designs; represent the client stack at the Architecture Review Board * Maintain the client Self-Enablement Guide and generated extension catalogs, and serve as a technical interface to key technology partners * Perform unit and functional tests of product features, and resolve unit, functional, and customer- or partner-reported defects across supported release lines * Provide reasonable estimates, meet deliverables while assisting the team, and enable the team to meet their KPIs
