ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a hands-on Full Stack Engineer position covering React and TypeScript Front End development, and Java-based web services.You will build production quality customer experiences on AWS, working with Product, UX and engineering teams across multiple international locations.

Agentic AI will form an important part of the delivery approach. You will use AI coding agents to accelerate development while retaining responsibility for architecture, testing, security, maintainability and production outcomes.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and develop responsive, accessible, customer facing features across web and app channels.
• Develop Back End-for-Front End services and Java based web services.
• Design, build and consume REST and GraphQL APIs.
• Deploy and support services on AWS using infrastructure and deployment tooling such as CloudFormation.
• Take ownership of features from refinement and technical design through to testing, deployment and production support.
• Write and maintain unit, integration and end-to-end tests.
• Review AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, accessibility and maintainability.
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions and architectural decisions.
• Monitor service health and investigate defects and production issues.
• Work closely with Product Managers, UX designers and engineers across distributed teams.
• Communicate technical risks, dependencies and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Hands-on Java development experience, ideally involving modern frameworks and web services.
• Practical experience with micro Front End and Back End-for-Front End architectures.
• Proven experience building and deploying services on AWS.
• Experience with CloudFormation or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling.
• Strong knowledge of REST and GraphQL API design and integration.
• Practical experience using Agentic AI tools to deliver production software.
• Ability to review, test and take ownership of AI-generated code.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, including automated testing, Git and code reviews.
• Understanding of SQL or NoSQL databases and data modelling.
• Experience working effectively within distributed, multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Clear written and spoken communication skills.
• Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD and observability experience would be advantageous.
• Experience with high-volume customer platforms, loyalty products, personalisation or experimentation would be beneficial.

SUMMARY OF THE BEST CANDIDATE

The best candidate will be a genuinely hands-on Full Stack Engineer with strong recent experience across Java Back End development, React or TypeScript Front End engineering and AWS cloud delivery.

You will be comfortable working across micro frontends, Back End-for-Front End services and APIs rather than specialising exclusively in one layer. You will also have practical experience using AI coding agents as part of software delivery and will be able to explain what they delegated, how they defined the work and how they validated the resulting code.

The successful candidate will combine delivery pace with disciplined testing, operational ownership and effective collaboration in a complex, internationally distributed engineering environment.
