AI First Software Engineer (Background Core Java/React)

About the role

Build. Scale. Sustain. PALO IT is a global technology consultancy that crafts tech as a force for good. We design, develop and scale digital and sustainable products and services to unlock value across the triple bottom line: people, planet, profit. We do the right thing, and we do it right. We're proud to be a World Economic Forum New Champion, and a B Corp-certified company. We are small enough to care locally, big enough to deliver globally (5 continents, 18 offices, +650 experts from +50 nationalities) We are robust and resilient (100% independent and 0 debt) We are entrepreneurs and passionate experts: we invest in what we genuinely believe in and work as a collective intelligence We are positive, courageous, caring, doers and committed to excellence About Gen-e2 While the market is still largely AI-augmenting delivery, we have reinvented the SDLC to be AI First . Our approach is a game-changer in productivity and quality, with strong collaboration between generative AI and our best talents: We now generate 95% of the entire product - code, documentation, infrastructure as code, and even design - with GitHub Copilot . The quality consistently exceeds the output of our best traditional engineering teams. A product repository houses all product artefacts, giving AI full project context for higher-quality generation. A library of rules and prompts defines coding standards, design principles, and security guidelines, ensuring enterprise-grade quality and scalability. With Gen-e2, we deliver end-to-end products 2-3× faster , while raising the bar for engineering excellence. Your Role As a Senior Fullstack Engineer (Java / React) , you will build end-to-end product features across backend and frontend, delivering scalable services in Java and high-quality user experiences in React . You'll contribute to architecture decisions, ensure production-grade quality, and mentor teammates while working in a cloud-native, AI-first delivery model.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Java (11/17+) and modern frameworks (e.g., Spring Boot ), focusing on scalability, security, and clean architecture.
• Build and evolve front-end applications using React and TypeScript , ensuring responsive UX, accessibility, and performance.
• Define and maintain robust REST API contracts (versioning, pagination, consistent error handling) and documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Apply Clean Architecture , SOLID , and domain-driven thinking to keep codebases maintainable as products scale.
• Work with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL ) and optimize performance through sound data modeling, indexing, and query tuning.
• Implement asynchronous and event-driven patterns where relevant (Kafka/RabbitMQ), ensuring idempotency, retries, and traceability.
• Build quality in: testing strategies (unit, integration, contract, UI), code reviews, refactoring, and CI automation.
• Collaborate with DevOps/platform teams on CI/CD, containerization ( Docker ), and cloud deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Improve observability with logs, metrics, and tracing (OpenTelemetry/APM tools) and participate in incident response and RCA.
• Mentor junior engineers, contribute to technical strategy, and align delivery with product outcomes.
• Work in an AI-first way: leverage Copilot/GenAI responsibly to accelerate delivery while keeping enterprise-grade standards and security.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience delivering production software, with strong hands-on work across Java and React .
• Strong experience with Spring Boot (or equivalent) building APIs and backend services.
• Solid experience in React development (component architecture, state management, API integration) - TypeScript strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of API design , integration patterns, and web fundamentals.
• Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases and performance optimization.
• Track record of engineering excellence: testing, code reviews, clean code, and maintainable architecture.
• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams in an agile setup.
• Professional English to work in global teams.
• Experience with microservices, distributed systems, and event-driven architecture ( Kafka/RabbitMQ ).
• Cloud-native experience (Kubernetes, service mesh, API gateways).
• Front-end testing tools (Cypress/Playwright), design systems, and performance profiling (Lighthouse).
• Security experience (OAuth2/OIDC/JWT) and secure SDLC practices.
• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows (Copilot, prompt libraries, AI-assisted testing/documentation).
• AI-Native Engineering (Core Expectation)
• Use Generative AI coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as a first-class engineering assistant for:
• Code scaffolding and refactoring
• Code generation and optimisation
• Test-cases and documentation generation
• Build applications through AI-driven development practices , including:
• AI-assiste
