Software Engineer – Full Stack (Java, Spring Boot, React) 

 

Location: Bangaluru, India (Hybrid) 
Experience: 2–5 years 
Domain: Healthcare Technology (Oncology / Clinical Platforms) 

We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable, mission-critical healthcare applications. 

This is a backend-first full-stack role (~70% backend / 30% frontend) where you will primarily work on Java + Spring Boot microservices, while contributing to React-based UI layers to deliver complete end-to-end features. 

You will also operate in an AI-first engineering environment, where tools like GitHub Copilot and Windsurf, Claude are used to accelerate development — with a strong expectation that you validate, refine, and productionize outputs to meet the security by design with enterprise-grade standards. 

Key Responsibilities 

Full Stack Development 

  • Design and build scalable microservices using Java, Spring Boot, and REST APIs  

  • Define clear API contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger) with consistent error handling and versioning 

  • Implement event-driven architectures using Kafka or equivalent messaging systems  

  • Build high-performance data access layers using JPA/Hibernate and Oracle/Postgres  

  • Develop and enhance UI components using React.js and TypeScript  

  • Build integration layers and admin UIs to support backend workflows 

  • Ensure end-to-end flow validation (UI → API → DB → events) 

  • Ensure production-grade reliability: transaction safety, idempotency, and error recovery 

 

AI-First Engineering Mindset (Critical) 

  • Actively use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Claude or any other Mckesson approved tools) to: 

  • Accelerate coding, refactoring, and test generation 

  • Improve developer productivity without compromising maintainability 

  • Critically evaluate AI-generated code for: 

  • Correctness and edge cases 

  • Security and data handling risks 

  • Performance and scalability 

  • Apply AI responsibly in: 

  • Code generation, debugging, and clear documentation  

  • Unit Test case creation and coverage improvement  

  • Design systems that are: 

  • AI-friendly (clear APIs, structured data, consistent contracts) 

  • Observable and diagnosable using logs, metrics, and traces 

  • Security by design 

 

Engineering Quality & Delivery 

  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code (unit + integration tests)  

  • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and architecture decisions 

  • Work in Agile teams with strong accountability & ownership of delivery 

  • Diagnose and resolve production issues using observability tools, such as Dynatrace 

 

Platform & System Thinking 

  • Build services that are: 

  • Reusable  

  • Well-documented 

  • Easy for other products to integrate 

  • Follow best practices in: 

  • API design 

  • Microservices architecture 

  • CI/CD and DevOps pipelines 

 

Minimum Requirement

Degree or equivalent relevant experience.

Must-Have Skills

  • 2–5 years of software development experience in product/enterprise environments 

  • Strong hands-on experience with: 

  • Java (17+) and Spring Boot 

  • REST API design and microservices architecture 

  • Experience with React.js + TypeScript (at least 1-2 years) 

  • Solid experience with: 

  • SQL and relational databases (Oracle/Postgres) 

  • ORM tools (Hibernate/JPA) 

  • Experience with: 

  • Event-driven systems (Kafka or similar) 

  • Caching (Redis or similar) 

  • CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows 

  • Automated testing practices 

  • Strong debugging and production issue analysis skills 

 

AI-First Expectations (Non-Negotiable) 

Candidates must demonstrate: 

  • Practical use of AI coding assistants in development workflow 

  • Ability to review, validate, and production-harden AI-generated code 

  • Understanding that:  

  • AI accelerates development 

  • Engineers are still accountable for design, correctness, and quality 

If someone blindly copies Copilot output, this role is not for them. 

 

 

Foundational 

  • Clear written and verbal communication — ability to document services and explain technical decisions 

Good-to-Have Skills 

  • Healthcare domain experience 

  • Familiarity with:  

  • FHIR / HL7 / C-CDA standards 

  • HIPAA compliance and PHI/PII handling 

  • Experience with:  

  • Databricks / data pipelines 

  • Elasticsearch / Redis 

  • Docker / Kubernetes 

 

What Success Looks Like 

  • Deliver production-ready features end-to-end, not just code 

  • Build systems that are scalable, observable, and reusable 

  • Improve team productivity using AI without degrading quality 

  • Contribute to raising engineering standards across the team 

 

Why This Role Stands Out 

  • Work on real-world healthcare systems impacting patient outcomes 

  • Exposure to modern architecture + AI-driven engineering practices 

  • Opportunity to build platform-grade services used across multiple teams
