Lead Full Stack Engineer (Java+Angular) @ SoftServe

As a Lead Full-stack Engineer, you will develop and maintain features across the entire stack for our Client, a European public sector organisation, from user interfaces and consumed APIs through to server-side business logic and database interactions. You will take technical ownership of the solutions you deliver — their scalability, performance, security, and documentation — and act as the connection point between front-end and back-end work so that all system components integrate cohesively.
