Senior Software Full Stack Engineer

Role at Kurovision, Inc.

We’re looking for a skilled Full‑Stack Engineer with strong front‑end expertise and solid back‑end fundamentals to join our cross‑functional digital product team. You’ll work across web and app platforms in an agile environment, building scalable, high‑performing solutions that delight users and create measurable business value.

Key Responsibilities – What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain modern web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Apollo GraphQL.
• Design and implement Java / Spring Boot microservices within AWS Cloud environments, integrating APIs and data layers.
• Apply best practices in CI/CD, automated testing (JUnit, Mockito, Jest, Playwright) and cloud‑native deployment using Docker, GitHub Actions, and Kubernetes.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and coding standards, ensuring system performance, scalability, and security through thoughtful design. Play a role in considering and ensuring both service and security in all that we do.
• Collaborate closely with Product Owners, Architects, and Engineers to deliver solutions aligned with business goals. Lead projects, providing in‑depth technical and process expertise, and guiding junior team members and business stakeholders.
• Drive effective business and technical discussions, writing clear documentation, and contributing to the engineering roadmap. Provide estimates and ensure delivery to established cost, time, and quality standards within our defined product strategy.
• Drive continuous improvement within the team, fostering a culture of technical excellence and clear communication.
• Act on development metrics and retrospective feedback to maintain and continuously improve the performance of the team. Offer constructive feedback and receive feedback from others.
• Proactively seek to develop skills as required to support changes in technology and for personal development.
• Be prepared to carry out the Scrum Master role if required.

Skills and Experience – What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of software engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Apollo, and related front‑end technologies (e.g., Redux, Webpack, CSS, Browser APIs), including mobile optimisation and SEO.
• Solid backend expertise with Java, Spring Boot, and experience building/integrating REST and GraphQL APIs in event‑driven micro‑service architectures.
• Kafka experience, including Avro schemas and building Kafka streams, is a plus.
• Experience with AWS services (S3, SQS, IAM) and cloud architecture principles.
• Solid understanding of relational and NoSQL databases like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis.
• Experience with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and containerisation.
• Experienced working in agile, cross‑functional teams.
• A collaborative mindset, communicating clearly to all stakeholders, building relationships both internally and with external third‑party providers as required.
• Enthusiastic to be a key contributor across the full software development lifecycle, from collaborating on architectural decisions to implementing high‑quality, secure solutions producing simple, maintainable, and highly testable code (TDD/BDD).
• Experience and energy to champion engineering excellence and coding standards, mentor junior colleagues, and ensure our systems align with both user needs and strategic business goals.
