Full Stack Java Developer

reliability 4. Technical Environment Stack Java microservices, Angular frontend Monorepo structure (shared across ~100+ engineers) Spring profiles for service separation Key challenges Monorepo creates: Build complexity Long integration testing cycles Heavy interaction with legacy/vendor systems (e.g., Loan IQ) Engineers must be comfortable troubleshooting outside of owned code Requires hands-on debugging in outdated platforms 5. AI & Tooling Perspective AI experience is not a gating factor Expectation is: Strong engineers can quickly learn tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) Core skill is validating output, not just generating it Organization is ahead of market in AI adoption Most candidates will not match that maturity acceptable 6. Role Scope Hands-on senior engineer (not architect level) Still in the code, solving problems Not responsible for multi-team architecture planning Acts as a “distributed leader” Essentially replicates capabilities currently centralized in the manager

Role Profile & Team Gaps - Key Takeaways 1. Ideal Candidate Profile True self-starter - proactively identifies issues (e.g., missing API resilience, retry mechanisms) and resolves them without direction Problem challenger, not order taker - pushes back on unclear or poorly scoped tickets to properly de-risk work before execution Servant leader mindset - able to: Unblock teammates Provide direction without over-managing Act as a force multiplier across the pod Strong ownership mentality - demonstrates initiative similar to top performers on the team (e.g., independently fixing issues and improving code quality) 3. Cultural Balance Required Not looking for reckless speed High output without quality (breaking pipelines, impacting other pods) is viewed negatively Environment is risk-averse (bank context) Emphasis on: Stability Quality Cross-team impact awareness Ideal balance Proactive + accountable Confident but measured Moves fast with judgment, not at the expense of system
