What this job asks for AI summary
A contract full-stack engineering role weighted heavily toward frontend work, building and maintaining web applications and marketing-oriented digital experiences with React and TypeScript. Backend contributions to Java and Spring Boot services are expected but secondary. The position suits an independent engineer comfortable owning features end-to-end — from requirements through delivery — while coordinating with product, UX, and marketing stakeholders. Enterprise background is strongly preferred.
