About the role
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for two Full Stack Engineers — one Senior and one Mid-level — to help build, evolve and operate scalable digital products that deliver real value to customers and internal teams. You will work across the full stack, contributing throughout the software development lifecycle: from API design and distributed backend services to modern, accessible web interfaces. This role combines strong hands-on engineering across the Java and JavaScript ecosystems with the practical use of approved AI-assisted development tools as part of a modern engineering workflow. You will own features end to end, in a team where technical decisions are discussed rather than dictated.
PROJECT & CONTEXT
The client is a well-established player in the retail sector, operating large-scale, high-traffic digital platforms where performance, reliability and scale are daily engineering concerns. The ecosystem is built on distributed, containerised services with a modern React/Next.js frontend layer and a mature CI/CD and observability culture. AI tooling is an established part of how the team works — not an experiment — and engineers are expected to use it critically, validating and improving what it produces. You will join a product-oriented team with a stable roadmap and a platform used by a large customer base.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Required)
AI-assisted engineering
* Practical experience using AI tooling to support development activities: code generation and refactoring, test creation and automation, documentation generation, code analysis and review, and technical investigation * Ability to review, validate and improve AI-generated output to ensure quality, security and maintainability
Backend
* Strong commercial experience developing software with Java (recent versions — Java 17 LTS or above) and Spring Boot 3.x * Experience building and operating distributed systems, RESTful APIs and microservices * MySQL 8 — schema design, query optimisation and performance tuning * AWS — building, deploying and maintaining cloud-native applications
Frontend
* Strong commercial experience with JavaScript and TypeScript * Experience building modern web applications with React 18 * Strong understanding of web performance, accessibility and responsive design
Engineering practices
* Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, testing, code quality and maintainable code * Strong understanding of CI/CD practices and modern software delivery approaches * Experience with containerisation technologies * Understanding of infrastructure, monitoring and observability practices * Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to contribute effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional team * Fluent English, spoken and written (working language of the project)
NICE TO HAVE (Preferred)
* Next.js in production environments * Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms * Apache Kafka or other event-streaming technologies * Modern observability and monitoring tooling * Experience in large-scale digital, retail or eCommerce environments * AWS certifications * Portuguese language skills
