[Remote] Senior Full Stack Developer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Anika Systems is an outcome-driven technology consulting firm that helps federal agencies solve complex business challenges through artificial intelligence, intelligent automation, data science, digital transformation, and cloud services. The Senior Full-Stack Developer will lead legacy modernization initiatives, develop responsive React interfaces and secure Java/Spring Boot services, manage data migration, automate testing and CI/CD, and collaborate with cross-functional teams in hybrid AWS and OpenShift environments.

Responsibilities

• Legacy Modernization: Analyze, decouple, and migrate legacy enterprise systems (monoliths, older Java frameworks, complex store procedures) into a clean, decoupled microservices or modular architecture
• Front-End Architecture: Design and optimize highly responsive web UIs using React, transforming legacy server-rendered views or desktop applications into sleek interfaces while managing complex client-side caching via Redux
• Back-End Engineering: Build secure, high-throughput RESTful services using Java and Spring Boot, while implementing automated, high-volume bulk data pipelines via Spring Batch to replace outdated legacy batch processing routines
• Data Migration & Management: Model structured corporate data using JPA and Hibernate ORM to bridge legacy data stores with modern Oracle production databases
• Test Automation Execution: Author and maintain automated end-to-end testing frameworks, mock environments, and isolation tests using Selenium, JUnit 5, and Mockito to ensure zero regressions during modernization phases
• Hybrid Infrastructure & DevOps: Author and maintain automated CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions to cleanly package, containerize, and deploy modernized services across AWS Cloud and OpenShift Container Platform environments
• AI-Driven Delivery: Integrate generative AI tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) into daily workflows to drastically accelerate boilerplate generation, legacy code refactoring, and query optimization
• Agile Collaboration: Partner closely with architectural leads, product owners, and QA engineers within highly demanding Sprint cycles to ship reliable, well-documented code under tight deadlines

Skills

• The ideal candidate thrives in aggressive, high-velocity delivery environments, possesses a proven track record of migrating legacy enterprise systems, values proactive team leadership, and actively leverages modern AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate software development lifecycles without sacrificing code quality
• Candidates must be a U.S. Citizen with an active Department of Treasury MBI
• 10–12 years of professional experience in enterprise-grade software engineering, with a strong emphasis on system transformations, refactoring legacy codebases, and application modernization strategies
• Languages & Core: JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3
• Frameworks & State: React.js, Redux (or Redux Toolkit)
• Ecosystem Tools: VS Code, NPM
• Frameworks: Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security
• Bulk Processing: Spring Batch (Job, Step, Chunk-based processing configurations)
• Data & Relational: JPA / Hibernate, Oracle DB (SQL optimization, indexing, migrating legacy stored procedures), and H2 Database (for in-memory testing)
• Ecosystem Tools: Eclipse IDE, Maven
• Back-End Unit & Mock Testing: Advanced capability with JUnit 5 and Mockito for structural logic isolation, stubbing behaviors, and legacy code behavioral verification
• Front-End Unit Testing: UI isolation and state tracking using Jest and React Testing Library
• Web UI Automation: Strong hands-on experience building and maintaining automated UI regression suites using tools like Selenium WebDriver (Java or JavaScript bindings)
• Cloud & Hosting Platforms: Hybrid environment design spanning AWS (Amazon Web Services) and OpenShift Container Platform (OCP)
• CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub Actions workflow orchestration (integrating automated execution of unit, mocking, and Selenium testing blocks)
• Containerization: Docker / container lifecycle management
• Version Control: Git, GitHub, GitLab
• Practical experience using GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude for syntax generation, deciphering legacy code patterns, query optimization, and rapid debugging
• Proven experience delivering production-grade code within fast-paced, highly demanding corporate settings
• Ability to safely lead teams through architectural paradigms shifts without disrupting day-to-day business operations
• Active participant and leader in peer code reviews, architectural discussions, and cross-functional troubleshooting sessions
• Ability to articulate complex backend or deployment blockers concisely to non-technical stakeholders
• Robotic Process Automation (RPA): Experience building or maintaining automated internal workflows using tools such as UiPath or Microsoft PowerApps

Benefits

• 100% remote
