Job description

Full Stack Java Engineer (Java + React + AI Exposure)

Location: Dallas, Texas (Office-based)
Type: Contract
Start Date: Immediate
Tier 1 Experience Required

Overview

We're seeking a talented Full Stack Java Engineer who is a true utility player—equally comfortable modernizing legacy systems, building React front-ends, and integrating AI-driven workflows into enterprise applications. This is not a specialized AI/ML role, but rather an opportunity for a strong, adaptable full-stack generalist to grow across an evolving technology landscape.

What You'll Do
  • Design, develop, and enhance enterprise-grade applications across Java backend and React frontend
  • Modernize legacy Java systems while building scalable improvements
  • Build and support client-facing portals using modern frameworks
  • Integrate AI and agentic capabilities into existing business workflows
  • Develop lightweight Python-based automation and AI integrations
  • Contribute to technical design, system architecture, debugging, and performance optimization
  • Collaborate across teams in a polyglot engineering environment
What We're Looking ForCore Requirements

Full-Stack Mastery

  • Strong hands-on Java backend development experience
  • Proven track record building complex full-stack applications
  • Expert-level React.js or modern front-end framework experience
  • Comfort navigating legacy and modern enterprise architectures across the entire stack

Engineering Versatility

  • Ability to work across multiple languages and technology stacks
  • Strong fundamentals with genuine adaptability to evolving technologies
  • Utility-first mindset—not a narrow specialist
AI/Agentic Exposure (Secondary, But Important)
  • Experience you should have: Integrating AI or agentic workflows into business applications; practical Python development; building AI-assisted systems (e.g., OCR + LLM-driven document extraction, intelligent validation, agentic orchestration)
  • Nice-to-have: Familiarity with Foundry-like or agentic development environments
  • Not required: AI/ML research expertise, deep model training, or Python-only backgrounds
What We Won't Consider
  • Pure Java engineers unwilling to expand beyond backend
  • Pure AI/ML specialists without strong full-stack capability
  • Highly narrow specialists with limited cross-technology adaptability
The Ideal Candidate

You're an exceptional Java + React full-stack engineer who:

  • Thrives as a generalist across diverse and evolving systems
  • Brings practical AI/agentic integration experience
  • Can learn and grow into emerging LLM ecosystems
  • Values breadth and adaptability over deep specialization
  • Operates confidently in fast-moving technical environments
