Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain features end-to-end across the React frontend and Java (Spring Boot) backend, adapting to each project's established architecture
  • Maintain and extend frontend state management approaches without introducing conflicting patterns
  • Ensure data integrity and correct transaction boundaries across concurrent backend operations
  • Diagnose and resolve issues across the full stack, from frontend rendering and state bugs to backend concurrency and performance issues
  • Profile and improve performance across the stack under real usage, not synthetic benchmarks
  • Ensure UI changes meet accessibility standards (WCAG) as a built-in requirement, not an afterthought
  • Work on the relational database layer (schema changes, query performance, migrations) with production-safe practices
  • Design and consume REST APIs, owning both sides of the contract between frontend and backend
  • Collaborate with Product Managers, Engineers, and Designers in Agile/Scrum on whichever project you're supporting
  • Apply change-management discipline appropriate to each project's risk profile, whether early-stage or already in production

Qualifications

  • Strong React experience (5+ years) with a deep understanding of state architecture in non-trivial applications o component state, context, and state management patterns at scale
  • Strong Java experience (5+ years) with a deep understanding of concurrency o thread safety, locking, and race conditions o the java.util.concurrent toolkit
  • Solid grasp of transaction boundaries and data integrity in multi-user systems
  • Experience with Spring Boot for building backend services
  • Strong SQL and relational database experience (schema design, query tuning, migrations)
  • Track record of diagnosing and improving performance under real usage, on both the frontend and backend
  • Solid grasp of web accessibility standards (WCAG) and how to implement them, not just audit for them
  • Comfortable reading and extending an existing, unfamiliar codebase across both stacks
  • Strong understanding of REST API design, both building and consuming, including request/response contracts

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Comfortable working across multiple projects with different codebases, conventions, and risk profiles, rather than being embedded full-time on one
  • Comfortable adapting to each project's existing architectural patterns rather than imposing a single standard approach everywhere
  • Demonstrated full-stack capability, with end-to-end ownership of frontend and backend features across all assigned projects.
  • Coordinates with, but does not report into, project-dedicated engineers; shares standards and practices rather than a reporting line

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate delivery across projects, while retaining full ownership and review of what ships
  • Python experience

OUR BENEFITS & PERKS

  • Competitive compensation packages and comprehensive medical insurance to support you and your family.
  • Well-being focused initiatives and resources, designed to enhance your personal and professional life.
  • Access to exclusive discount programs, offering savings across various lifestyle and leisure experiences across the UAE.
  • WHAT MAKES A GREAT FIT If you are performance-driven and possess an inquisitive mind with the agility to navigate ambiguity, you will thrive here. At the heart of the Space42 community is a bias for action and a passion for developing innovative, efficient space services through AI-driven smart solutions that drive technological advancements and create a better tomorrow.
