Junior Full Stack Developer Jobs in Ellenwood, GA

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client in Sandy Springs, GA that is seeking a Junior Full Stack Engineer.
Responsibilities:
* Own a Java/Spring Boot backend end to end - API design, data modeling, transactions, performance, and security
* Ship polished, complex UIs in React without a designer holding your hand
* Run PostgreSQL yourself: schema design, migrations, query tuning, and backups
* Operate real infrastructure: Docker, Linux VMs, reverse proxies, CI/CD, logs, and monitoring - and you've been on the hook when something went down
* Integrate with messy third-party APIs and make the result reliable
What You'll Own (First Year):
* The entire platform: backend services, the React app, the database, deployment, and uptime
* Hardening it - security, data integrity, tests, and documentation worthy of a system the business depends on
* Shipping the stakeholder backlog at startup pace
* Laying the technical foundation - and eventually the team - for what comes next
REQUIREMENTS:
* 4+ years of experience building full-stack systems, including at least one stretch where you shipped something end to end alone or on a very small team - a startup, a founding-engineer role, or a product with real users that was truly yours
* Big-tech experience is valuable, but on its own it may not translate: this role has none of that scaffolding
* Bonus experience: data engineering (Airflow, Trino/Iceberg, or similar), messaging (JMS/ActiveMQ), and building with LLMs as a force multiplier
You Are:
* A builder first; You'd rather own the whole problem than a slice of it
* Excellent technical judgment - you can weigh a tradeoff, see its business implications, and make the call without a committee
* Strong stakeholder instincts; You can sit with a non-technical user, understand what they actually need, and ship it quickly
* Comfortable owning production end to end - security, data integrity, and uptime are yours.
* Adaptable and ambitious; As RangeWater grows, you grow into the technical leader who builds the team around this platform
You May Be A Good Fit, If You:
* Have built things start to finish - full stack, real users, no safety net
* Have run production on your own - deployed it, monitored it, resolved incidents, and made sure they didn't recur
* Like iterating with users; You'd rather sit with the person who has the problem than guess at it from your desk
* Get hooked on new problems; Dropping into a business you've never seen, learning how it really works, and building the thing that fixes it sounds like a good week
* Want to transform businesses with AI; You're driven to figure out how AI can reshape the way a company operates - and you already use it to multiply your own output
* Have taste; You know the difference between code that runs and a product that lands
* Treat a blank page as a starting line, not a wall
