We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a T-shaped profile: deep backend expertise in Java/Spring Boot microservices and solid TypeScript/SDK engineering capability on the frontend side.
This is not a traditional web app frontend role. The "frontend" work here is a published TypeScript SDK — library bundling, npm packaging, and API ergonomics for third-party consumers. If you've built or maintained a JS/TS library and know what dual ESM/CJS output means, you'll feel at home.
You'll own complex features end-to-end across the AIV platform — from event-driven backend services through to the SDK that surfaces document data to consuming applications — and contribute to architectural decisions that span the full system.
Backend — your depth
- Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs using Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.x (Web, Data JPA, Validation, Actuator).
- Build and maintain Kafka producers and consumers on AWS MSK with IAM auth.
- Own database schema design and migrations in PostgreSQL using Liquibase.
- Deploy and operate containerized services on AWS ECS/Fargate, working with S3, SQS, and IAM in a Terraform-provisioned infrastructure.
- Design clean, versioned, resource-oriented REST APIs with solid error handling and documentation.
- Navigate a microservice topology — per-service schemas, careful migration discipline.
SDK & frontend — your second arm
- Develop and maintain the platform's TypeScript SDK: bundling with Vite, dual ESM/CJS output, type declarations, and semver discipline.
- Own the SDK's public API ergonomics — presigned URL flows, auth token handling, and a clean developer experience for internal and third-party consumers.
- Write and maintain tests with Vitest; manage releases via private npm registry with proper CHANGELOG practices.
- Integrate PDF.js (pdfjs-dist) and client-side instrumentation (Amplitude) as needed.
Architecture & cross-cutting concerns
- Contribute to architectural decisions spanning backend services, event flows, and SDK contracts.
- Define and uphold standards for code quality, testing, observability, and documentation across the platform.
- Improve observability practices: structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting on both backend services and SDK integrations.
- Identify and drive refactoring, modernization, and technical debt reduction.
Collaboration & mentoring
- Work closely with Product, AI/ML, and platform engineering teams across Spain, France, and the UK.
- Mentor Junior and Semi Senior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and direct feedback.
- Communicate trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.
Non-negotiable
- 5+ years of professional backend engineering, with production Java (17+) and Spring Boot 3.x experience at meaningful scale.
- Hands-on Kafka experience — producers, consumers, partitioning, offset management.
- PostgreSQL expertise: query optimization, schema design, and migration tooling (Liquibase or equivalent).
- AWS fundamentals in practice: ECS/Fargate, S3, SQS, IAM — you've deployed and operated services.
- Solid TypeScript and module/bundling knowledge — you understand the difference between ESM and CJS and why it matters for SDK consumers.
- Experience publishing and versioning npm packages (semver, changelogs, private registry).
- Proficiency with Docker, Gradle, Git, and CI/CD workflows.
- English at B2 or above (working language across a multi-country team).
Strong signals of the right level
- You've owned a service end-to-end — design, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
- You've built or maintained a JS/TS library consumed by other teams or external developers.
- You've made architectural decisions that held up under real production load.
- You've mentored at least one engineer who is now independently effective.
- You're comfortable working from ambiguous requirements and making pragmatic calls without waiting for a perfect spec.
- Python 3.12 experience — several components are FastAPI + boto3 + pydantic, and occasional contribution to these is expected.
- Experience integrating with LLM APIs (AWS Bedrock / Claude) or document intelligence pipelines (Azure Document Intelligence, OCR).
- GitLab CI/CD pipeline authoring.
- Familiarity with SDK ergonomics for third-party consumers: auth flows, presigned URLs, versioned contracts.
- Experience with event-driven architecture patterns beyond basic Kafka usage (DLQs, exactly-once semantics, consumer group design).
Competitive compensation package, with a salary range of €40.000 €65.000 gross per year, depending on experience and fit.
