Java Springboot Developer

Kforce has a client in Minneapolis, MN that is seeking a Java Springboot Developer with strong experience building modern, scalable web applications using Java, Spring Boot, and React. In this role, you'll design and develop end-to-end features-from responsive UI experiences to robust RESTful APIs and backend services-working closely with product, design, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver high-quality solutions.

Responsibilities Frontend (React):

• Build and maintain responsive, accessible user interfaces using React (hooks, state management, component architecture)
• Implement reusable UI components and patterns to support consistent design across the application
• Integrate frontend applications with backend services via REST APIs (and GraphQL where applicable)
• Optimize performance (bundle size, rendering efficiency, caching, lazy loading) and ensure cross-browser compatibility

Backend (Java/Spring Boot):

• Develop and maintain backend services using Java and Spring Boot (RESTful services, validation, security)
• Design scalable APIs and service-layer architecture (controller/service/repository patterns)
• Build and manage data persistence using SQL and/or NoSQL databases, including schema design and query tuning
• Implement authentication/authorization (JWT/OAuth2, SSO, role-based access control)

Quality, Delivery, and Collaboration:

• Write unit and integration tests for frontend and backend; participate in code reviews and contribute to engineering standards
• Collaborate in Agile ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, refinement, retrospectives)
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable fixes
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and environments (build, test, deploy automation)
• Document technical designs, API contracts, and support runbooks where needed
