- Role Overview

WalkingTree is hiring a Full Stack Lead to own the design and delivery of enterprise web platforms built on Java microservices and Angular microfrontends. You will lead a team of full-stack engineers, act as the technical voice to US-based stakeholders and customer teams, and stay hands-on in code, reviews and architecture.

The platforms you will work on are data-heavy, workflow-driven products used by operations and planning teams: real-time dashboards, rule-based decision engines, integrations with ERP and telematics systems, and event-driven backends.

Domain knowledge is picked up on the job; engineering depth and customer-facing maturity are what we hire for.

- Key Responsibilities
- Technical Leadership
- Own the architecture of Java (Spring Boot) microservices and Angular microfrontends, including service boundaries, API contracts, shell and remote composition, and shared design systems.
- Lead design reviews, code reviews and technical decision-making; set coding standards, testing strategy and definition of done.
- Stay hands-on: build critical components, prototype solutions, and unblock the team on hard problems.
- Drive non-functional quality: performance, security, observability, resilience and scalability.
- Delivery and Team Management
- Plan sprints, break down epics, estimate with the team, and commit to delivery dates you can keep.
- Mentor engineers, run hiring interviews, and grow senior developers into future leads.
- Own CI/CD, release readiness and production support practices with the DevOps team.
- Track risks, dependencies and technical debt, and raise them early.
- Customer and USA Stakeholder Engagement
- Work directly with US-based counterparts (product owners, architects, program managers) in regular working-hour overlaps, including daily or weekly calls, demos and sprint reviews.
- Work with customer team members to gather requirements, clarify integration points, walk through designs,



and resolve issues together.
- Present architecture, progress and trade-offs clearly to both technical and business audiences.
- Communicate status, blockers and change requests in writing with explicit, concise updates that a US stakeholder can act on without a follow-up call.
- Mandatory Requirements

Candidates who do not meet the first three points below will not be shortlisted.

- Direct USA counterpart exposure: At least 3 years of working daily with US-based clients, product owners or architects, including regular calls in US time-zone overlap, demos, and written status communication. Candidates must be able to describe specific engagements.
- Direct customer team collaboration: Proven experience working side by side with customer engineering, QA and business team members on requirements, integrations, UAT and production issues, not only through a project manager.
- Microservices and microfrontends as daily work: Hands-on delivery of Spring Boot microservices and Angular microfrontends in production, treated as the normal way of building, not a recent experiment.
- Overall experience: 9 to 14 years of total software experience, with at least 5 years in Java and 4 years in Angular (version 12 or later).
- Team leadership: At least 3 years leading a team of 5 or more engineers, with ownership of design, delivery and mentoring.

- Prior experience as a technical interface on enterprise accounts in logistics, manufacturing or supply chain.
- Behavioural Competencies
- Clear communicator who can explain a design trade-off to a US product owner and a customer developer in the same week.
- Ownership mindset: raises risks early, follows through, and does not wait to be chased.
- Calm under production pressure, with a blameless, root-cause-first approach.
