Who We Are
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.
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 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.
Who You Are
Must-Have
- 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.
Nice-to-Have
- 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-assisted debugging and troubleshooting
- Intelligent code completion and pattern recognition
- Automated documentation generation
- Apply prompt engineering best practices for reliable, repeatable engineering outcomes.
- Validate GenAI output (determinism checks, guardrails, fallback logic).
