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.
Key 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 contracts (versioning, pagination, consistent error handling) and documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger).
